I use a small Abu Garcia set-up with Abu Garcia spinning rod. Cheap set-up, but it works really well on micros, schoolies and 30"ers. Anything bigger and I really have to play the drag and fight it just right. But that's the best part about it......
My advice.....go with a rod that is flexible and tapers well....go with a smoothe reel with as many ball bearings as possible. If you are looking for a heavier duty reel, look at a bait runner (Shimano makes a nice one)..
