You don't mention budget so for a cheap set up I would go with a Daiwa BG 5000 and Shimano Trevala S in Medium heavy. If budget is higher go with a Sargossa

This is very close to my setup. I would go lighter rather than heavier equipment. I’ve used big rods that are meant for tuna and AJs and you end up missing a lot of fish because there is no give in the equipment.
My larger trout rods with 30 braid have done well, minus the occasional big boy that will break you off.
