For the fishing you'll be doing I'd stick with rods 6' to 6'6". No need for a longer rod on the boat. Check with the local tackle shops nearby. Sue Foster at Oyster Bay in N.Ocean City / Fenwick area comes to mind. Okuma reels have been popular down here for about 5 years and have proven dependable. Ugly Sticks used to be the goto...but they did away with the lifetime warranty. If you want to spend a little more, St. Croix has been my stick of choice. I have a few M's and a few MH's. I like the Medium action rods for flounder fishing in less then 20', and the MH's are good for deep water floundering. tog and bass on the wrecks, and blues and rock around the inlets. Lastly, I'm going to reccomend Power Pro or another braided line for the greatly enhanced feel.
If ya need more specifics, just ask...
