flatts, for wire line rods make sure you get a guide that can withstand the abuse of wire. mainly, carbaloy guides. fuji made a guide recently called silicon nitride. these have better frames and will take more abuse than a carbaloy, which tend to have the ring break from the frame after a while, but most rod manufacturers are not using sicnit's yet. definitely go glass. when trolling wire, sensitivity is not an issue. customs rods are usually the best in this area, but some production rods are out there. seeker and star rods makes some nice ones. you need a proven reel andthe only one i would suggest is a 4/0 w/ the metal, chrome spool.
drifting/chunking - lots of options. it depends on how heavy of a weight you plan on fishing. you can go glass or wire. guides, go with fuji ceramics and fish some kind of braid! you want to feel every touch on the bottom. you can do glass, graphite, or composite. for a reel, you have several options. again, it depends on how heavy a weight you will be fishing and the depth you will be fishing. 4/0's, jigmasters, newells all are good options.
just some things to think about.
