Thanks to Volguy (Todd), I've got Steve Broadwell making me a couple new 7 foot spinning rods that I'm going to couple with new Diawa Tierra's 4000 series spinning reels purchased from Hammonds for use with Redfish in s/w and Stripers in freshwater. IF you want them specifically for redfish where you may be casting all day long, you may want to consider downsizing to the 2500 or 3000 series reels to lighten the overall weight of the rig. I went a little heavier for the added line capacity for use with Stripers although it is probably over kill on my part.

The best fishermen I know use penn No7 and eagalclaw rods.
the P7 (I think that's the one) is a baitcaster w/ a level wind...that the handle spins during the cast...crazy.
I have Abu's on uglyS 7.5 med heavys
and Bait runners on finnor 6.6s.
I broke a rod in bocaG, went to the Kmart and they had 2 FN spinning rods...for $9. I asked NOTHING.
The walmart "black beauty" is an uglystick fast taper.I think the penn captiva is an ugly also. The reels last 4 trips but the rod/combo is cheaper than the rod by themselves.
All my heavy stuff are monsters from the past(garage sales)
I have a penn 9/0 w/ 4 miles(?) of 90lb....leader?we don't need no stinkin leader.
Cobia hate it.

Any 7 to 7.5 foot rod I can find with a good limber tip and plenty of backbone. But the reels are always going to be Shimano Stradics or Symetres 2500 to 4000.

Cheapest spinning reel skakespeare makes, and good med action 7 ft rod. Salt water gets them all sooner or later and the fish don't know what reeled them in.

I use stradics and curados. Rods tend are mostly shimanos too - convergence, clarus and compre. As my older shakespeares and berkleys break, I have been replacing with shimanos and one quantum. I've been looking at st croix and falcon, but cant quite talk myself into it yet. I have been impressed with the clarus rods as a good price for a low-ish weight for the price rod.
