I can recommend both the Berkley Lightning Shock rods and the Abu Garcia Vengeance rods.
If you're planning on doing mostly cranking, topwater, or jerkbaits, go with a medium.
If you'd rather throw plastics, jigs, spinnerbaits, etc, go with a medium heavy.
If you go with an Abu Garcia, just remember that their ratings are a bit on the stiff side. So if you get an Abu Garcia M, it's more on the side of a MH and is the best of both worlds. In other words, it works for a lot of things, not quite being either a M or a MH.
