all depends on your price range man.

For what you are describing, a solid well priced combo would be Okuma Guide Series MH with a Cardiff 300A. That would cover the mattlures gill and the Slammer really well. If you wanted to go heavier, you could get the Okuma Heavy action instead of the MH.

If you want to spend some bucks, there are quite a few good rod options and a Calcutta 300TE would match up nicely with whatever you pick.
