I'll take a shot at this since I'm a bit of a tackle ho.
I just got an oti tuna sniper 8'6' 60-80lb rod. Lots a power and you can cast a country mile - I've only hooked 2 fish with it, and I busted off both, so I haven't seen it on an extended fight. That said, I'm totally confident.
Van Staal 7' Jigging rod - got 2 and I love them. Sweet spot is 2 oz and is the perfect rod for throwing 11" GotStrypers.
St Croix 7 or 7/12 20-40lb - throws anything, lots of power, great all around rod. One of the board lurkers has a cool video of himself putting the screws to a big fish with that rig. CapeCodKid is also selling one in the classifieds - good deal.
