Snapper Rod?

I need to get a couple of new snapper rods. All mine are at my camp currently and I can't remember what I normally buy (haven't bought one in about 10 years). Anyone have any good suggestions? TIA

Although i haven't actually put them to use yet i just picked up some Penn Blue water carnage jigging rods and paired them with Fin-Nor Lethal 100 spinning reels. The rods are rated for 80-130 lb line and are really light. I figured the spinning tackle would be easier to use for the crew i will usually have with me. I still have a couple of Penn 330gti level wind reels that will get the job done as well but they are nearing the end of their life and will be replaced soon.

I like the ugli stick tiger lite series. I have one on a tld15 and it's perfect for snapper.
I also have a couple cheap spinners. 6000 fierce with a 7 ft pen power stick for the ladies and noobs.

Shimano Tekota or Torium reel paired with a vertical jigging rod is a nice set-up for snapper. Or a Penn SpinfisherV or Shimano Baitrunner if you'd rather go spinning using a jigging rod.
My current favorite rod is actually a beefed up salmon rod (7'9" heavy action, 15-40# rating) paired with a tekota 700 and 50# Power Pro depth hunter. Super light-weight and sensitive for when the magroves and smaller snapper are light-biting but plenty powerful enough to handle some bigger fish. I've caught several 50#+ sharks on it with no problem.
This rod: Wright & McGill S-Curve Back Bouncer (Grey, 7-Feet 9-Inch) paired with this reel: Shimano Tekota 700 using this line: PowerPro Depth Hunter Multi-Colored Braid - 333yds. - 50lb
