I'm a big fan of the Ugly Stick Big Water Casting rods in 6 ft lengths.

Still looking for the perfect reel, but I think my next set of reels will likely be the Diawa Saltist Line Counters.
That rods is rated for 3oz lure... I start snapper fishing with 3ozs I've had to go up to 8-10 before

Also wouldn't work very well for jigging IMO

I've learned offshore gear is at least double inshore in price for comparable quality so take that into consideration.
