Batson or All Star 1088 for the rod. Or buy the factory Breakaway built on the All Star from Mike T.
I prefer the Abu BG 6500 to the Trophy or some of the other 6500 models. But once you're at that price level, there's no reason not to dig for another $50 and get the Calcutta. You get a smoother reel and one with a much better stock drag.
