For a reel, I recommend an ABU 6500 with a power handle ($90 regular price, $75 on sale). For a rod, try the Lamiglass HCF 905 ($150). It's a 9-foot fiberglass (E-Glass) rod that is specifically made for trolling the Columbia, Buoy 10, and light saltwater. Better yet, stop in to the Lamiglass Factory store in Woodland and ask for a recommendation. They might even have what you need on the rack for a discount.

Good luck.
