I think for an off the shelf rod you can't go wrong with the Daiwa Sealine-X series rods. I was told about them by others on this sight, when I wanted to get away from the UglySticks, and they are excellent off the shelf. Of course I have slowy built up my custom rod collection. The Daiwa run about $60.00 or so. Then you will need a decent reel.
As far as hooks go, I have been using the Gamakatsu Octopus hooks exclusivly this year. I will never use another hook again. I use the 5/0 or 6/0 for eels. These are not the Octopus circles, they are the regular Octopus.
