10ft rod with a Shimano reel you can't go far wrong. Mine is a Grey's 15-60g casts a 1oz spinner a long way great rod would recommend it. Not keen on the Penn Captiva reels - I had the 4000 it lasted a couple of years seemed ok then a big fish killed it when fishing the south coast. My Shimano is way better and very smooth.

thunderpants .which shimano reel would u recomend .

[wheres the fish?]

General rule with shimano's is get one with as little plastic as possible, if its for spinning 2-4oz a 4000 series is a nice size to start, if you want ill upload mine to give you a idea ?

Shimano are all good reels. Mine is a Technicium 4000FC which holds enough line for a long cast but is still really lightweight. They come with a spare spool too so if you snap your line and don't have enough left on the spool it's an easy quick change to carry on fishing.
