Your standard dropper loop rods should work well. If you want a dedicated rockfish rig, 6-7' rods in a 20-60# class depending on the amount of weight used. doesn't need to be a big brand name. although my favorite has been composite rods with hybrid glass tips for sensitivity. full glass rods are great too.
If you have a reel full of spectra, i'd use that. levelwinds are very helpful if you don't want to thumb the line in manually. electric reels will save your arm, and you don't need a damn Lindgren as you aren't trying to chase trophy swordfish.
my personal go-to for rockfish, halibut, and certain dropper loop fish has been:
Quantum Boca BCC66-90 + Daiwa lexa 400 pwr-p (kayak and lighter weight fishing, particularly killer for halibut fishing)
Cousins Tackle CJB 65XL + Daiwa Saltist 40 with 4.9 ratio (boat fishing for bigger stuff and heavy weight sinkers)
