I use shimano curado 200e which is same as new chronarch and Duce rod and "I" like that. Different people prefer different rods and reels though. For reds and bass I'd pick a med heavy. The h2o academy reels are really good for the price and they have a lifetime warranty no questions asked. For spinners the h&h setups with the sparkle beetle or cocahoe work good and I believe they like a 1/4 oz. 1/4 would be good for the jigs and just a gulp shrimp would be good.
