Need a good rod for a beginner.

[Patrick82]

Allright, trying to get Mindi a rod. She's a beginner caster. She is petite. 5'0 or so. I'm thinking a surf rod would be too big and unwieldy for her. She wants to be able to cast lures and for the area we are in, lures are about .5 oz to 2 oz.

Anyone have an idea of a good spinning rod for her? I've seen her cast and she has the basics down. We just need to work on timing the release and loading the rod a little better. She is just a smidge off on both. Otherwise she is doing very well.
