i use saber strokers, there cheap and have a parabolic bend like the old school glass rods, i have a 6'6 20-50 and an 8' pro 20-40 that i cut the butt down to 7' that has carbon and glass. you can get them at big 5
i have those matched to sealines and penns. my favorite reel is a shimano 1000 charter special, lever drag, level wind and graphite body, holds up well in the salt and is a great size for a jig stick.
for bass i go with either shimano rods or ugly stiks and baitcaster type reel.

im sure most of the gear you have will work.
