Ultra light Rig - your preferences?

Thanks for the input so far. I am leaning hard to a St Croix rod. Pretty hard to go wrong with that choice. But the reel....I was leaning to the Pflueger, but gona check on a few of the other recommendations as BG1 has me thinking a bit

I do have one Presidential Pflueger that has been a good reel, but I dont dunk it - often....

For the money Okuma Ceymar reels are very good at around $40 I own several in differant sizes and love them, they have a very smooth drag. Ceymar Spinning Reels Performance Features

• Powerful, multi-disc drag system
  
• 7BB + 1RB for ultimate smoothness
  
• Quick-Set anti-reverse roller bearing
  
• Precision, machine cut brass pinion gear
  
• Corrosion-resistant Blade Body Design
  
• Machined aluminum spool, 2-tone
  

As far as rods, I really like the Berkly Lighting rods they are very affordable at round $35 dollars they have a sensitive tip with a good stiff back bone for hook setting. I'm a sucker for a good cork handle as well.
