looking for a new rod

hay guys i am looking at buying a diawa saltist LD 40 overhead reel and i am wondering what rod and what pound line i should match it up with.

i will mainly be bottom bouncing, jigging and trolling but will also go out on busso jetty for some mulloway, i might use it to float live baits out the back of the boat.

 Depends on your budget but I'm building a black hole 250 Cape cod special for a reel around this size for 65lb braid. I can't speak highly enough of the strength of these rods and are great value for money. Still there are other cheaper options out there that might suit your budget.
