lo-pro reels:
high end - revo inshore. light, stronger than shit, huge drag, great reel. fished them a few times. love them. too rich for my wallet!! comes with carbon fiber drags, need to grease them.
mid end: daiwa coastal inshore. love mine. upgraded drags to greased carbon.
personally, I'd take either over a new curado. even the older ones.
round reels:
mid end: abu record. it's my main reel for throwing slugs. again, comes with CF drags, just need grease.
high end: daiwa luna. absolutely awesome reel. super strong, smooth, etc.
probably guess I'm not a real big shimmy guy. I'd personally take the above over them. either way load with spectra, 30-40 for the lo-pro, 50-65 for the round. fish with short top shot, 3-4 ft of flouro.
I did see the okuma line in LB. looks very nice. very nice indeed. they have a new inshore lo-pro that is supposed to be tits. wish I had need and money!!
rods...
there's so many good ones to choose from. check out the turners california calico rods. I have several, love them. great deal. terramar is a good rod too. if you're feeling rich, phoenix rods are the shiznit. sorry about lack of model numbers.
guess it all depends on how much cash you got to spend.
