Go with a baitcast set up for trolling bottom bouncers. I like the Quantum Accurist reel with "Flipping Switch". It makes for easy one hand adjustment.

For rods, I like a 7'0" to 7'3" baitcasting rod in Medium to Medium Heavy action - just depends on the rod manufacture as they are all a bit different. Something like this:

or for a bit less money on the rod

This type of set up has worked for well for me over the years. Those rods will work with 1 ounce up to 2.5 ounce bottom bouncers without any issue.

Really enjoy fishing an accurist on a 7ft medium lightning rod. They seem to load up nicely pulling ounce and a half bouncers.

I use baitcasters. Best spinner rod I ever had was a G-loomis I found on Ebay. I don't think they make that number anymore, but it was the best I've ever used pulling bb n spinners.
