There are so many selections on rods its not even funny.

From the low cost Okuma Big Bait rods..

to the Quantum and Powell swimbait rods that are both awesome for under $200

or the best - the Performance Tackle Custom swimbait rod.. for a little more..

As for reels... the shimano guys like the Calcutta. I had one once, but I use a Quantum Cabo 31 (30 for RIght hand reel) and it outcasts the calcutta... has ceramic drag and is lower profile. The button is on the side, but it becomes natural after 1 day of fishing.

Either way - Good luck. Also, you might want to ask the guys on SwimbaitNation.com this same question they are very helpful and most of them are die hard swimbait guys!
