Rod and reel help

[njfisher88]

Long time lurker and hoping this community can help out. My father in his old age has upgraded his boat and will hopefully be doing some more fishing. As a congratulations/birthday gift I would like to get him a couple rod/reels setups. Most of his stuff is older, heavier and lunky. I would like to get him some lighter more modern setups for fluking. Hoping for some recommendations on what size rod and what action and what reel, however my options are limited to companies owned by Newell Brands so either Penn, Abu Garcia, Shakespeare, or ugly Stik. Thanks for the help!
