You don't mention a budget?
CT has had the Shimano Saros on sale for $99 at a few locations in a 3000 size. IMO that would be a good reel for what you are thinking of using it for. I got a Stradic Ci4+ 2500 for $129 at the Windermere store last week, which would also be good.
As far as rods, I had a Crucial that I really liked. Very sensitive, but enough to handle decent pike and walleye. Mine was a 6' 9" and Medium I believe. I would still have it except for a tip that got snapped off by an individual who shall remain un-named. When I replaced it they had moved from the cork grip to the EVA grip, which I didn't care for. I ended up replacing it with a G Loomis SJR722 which I love, but it was definitely more money.
