Very tough.
Probably a Dobyns 795 Extreme Rod / Revo STX 7.1 / 65lb braid and then either 15,20,25lb leader depending on the situation.

Hell yeah Dodgeguy, I'm glad to see you like that Patriarch too I can't wait to get my hands on one.
I'm gonna have to say a Loomis NRX with a Pflueger Patriarch, super light super sensitive and super sweet. Neither of these products are actually out, but I feel so confident in what I know about both products and both companies that I think I'd be quite a happy camper.

B/C I love to throw soft plastics.
This combo is super light and super sensitive with enough power to horse them out.

bigbill reply :
I have reels that cost between $15 to $100 along with decent fishing rods. I find that we need to use good fishing line thats were you want to put your $$$ in good line. If anything will lose fish its the line were using not the reels/rods.
With rods and reels i buy anything thats on sale or clearance. For reels I use okuma, finor, viva and quantum. I use any rod that has the feel that i like.
