I'm a big fan of the Bass Pro Shops Micro-Lite rods. They have a faster action than most UL rods and seem to handle the tiny cranks better.

Yeah, I use the BPS Micro Lite MLS70ULS-2 model when not using my Loomis. Highly reccomend it if you do not want to spend the dollars for a Loomis. And, I am not a big fan of the 5 to 6 foot ULs even though I do have a couple that I use once in a while. If you are going to have just one UL I recommend the 7 footers.
As for the reel- I would buy the AV-S1000F (next size up) for the same price and put 4 pound line on it.
