Once that has been established a more educated guess can be determined as to a rod / reel set up..

Daiwa has a series of Rods / Penn(Like Leif mentioned) - that are affordable and can meet his needs.

He can also purchase a Penn 4 /5 or 6 Series modestly priced...

Good luck / Tight lines

Agree with this. We would need to know a little more about his intentions before we can offer more advice. Bait will require heavier rods, while most plugs will need a lighter rod, ( some can be heavy, but most are not). Is he looking for a mix of both??
