I would say a ML Spinning rod match with a good spinning reel. As for lures I would say bring Mini Mites in different colors and sizes also jigging spoons in different colors and sizes. I like jigging spoons cause of the versatility being able to cast and retreve, vertical jig or toss and jig back to the canoe. Also a way to cover some water is to do a make shift troll by rowing and pulling rapalas, cranks, spinners behind the canoe. Also bring some steel leaders in the case of catching pike.
