My favorite is a 9ft TFO 5wt paired with an Orvis Battenkill Barstock III reel and Rio Line.

The spinning setup I have used for a while is a Pro Qualifier P020X Reel on a 6'6" Berkley Lightning Rod UL fast tip and 2lb SOS line. I really like this setup but wish it was a 7ft rod.

Also, I have multiple spools for the same reel spooled with 2lb test and 4lb test. Which ever route I'd suggest taking any extra spool or two with you to the river. One good run and breakoff, bad wind knot or anything on 2lb could really hurt your distance casting with lots of line off the reel.
