I use Daiwa ADP17LC Accu-Depth Reels No problems with them so far (3 years). I paid around $65 each for them.
I use UglyStik Lite Pro Medium Action rods because they're cheap, tough, and readily available at WaMa. I originally bought 2 that were 6'6", then couldn't find any more, so I bought a 7' medium action and cut the handle down to match the others. The shorter rod handles make it easier to remove from the rod holders on my kayak. I don't know what to tell you about different rod lengths, as I've only seen 6'6" and 7'.
I bought SpiderWire the same place the rods came from because they had the size I was looking for.
I hope this helps. Good Luck!
Jim
