Banana Boat, sorry for the late reply, I use Okuma X-Factor 6-10kg softbait rods, absolutely brilliant for 2-4 kg line, I have 3 of them. The reel is a Okuma VS40, no longer made but awesome drags, I also have three of them, with about 10 spools, plus another two reels for spare parts as you can't get parts anymore. I also use these outfits for general soft baiting, plus when chasing terakihi even in 90m of water.

Basically any good quality sofbait rod will work well as they are all quite tippy and any good softbait spinning reel will work, ideally get a reel which is easy to get spare spools for, so you have multi purpose outfits.
