Put the $$ into the reels - 30's will be lighter/the fight longer, but 50's size are now the standard. Can save a "few" dollars by going with single versus two-speed, or by not getting the "gold". Shimano TLD's are a great option.

CMS is always a great place to go for any type of rod - tuna or otherwise. You can shop around and buy entry - less than $100, just straight guides, mid-range - roller and stripper, up to $150 +/-, and then the sky's the limit (Star, Penn International, customs). They will all do the job, it's just where your budget is and how far "into it" you are.
