Just curious, what rod/rods do you normally use?

This is very subjective. I like a 6.3 reel, because I tend to reel fast and blow it out at the surface. It's hard for me to slow down. I currently use an old TD-V 103H for blade baits. I know a guy who uses a 9:1 JDM Zillion SV TW. I say use what works for you. The SV 103H is a good candidate, if you can find one now.

tataula ttu100. steez feel and it'll take the beating without making me cringe because i didn't spend 500 on an actual steez. i use my steez' for the less abusive techniques.

Pretty much any Zillion variant, OG or otherwise for me. The best I've used so far is a 6.3 TWS with Air HD's, a 100mm handle, and 40# braid on a MH glass composite OG Tatula, the 721MHRB-G.

I may have to locate one of those. This IP79 is freakin' sweet for frogging. This would actually make a good chatterbait setup for 1/2-1oz baits in grass if the reel wasn't so fast:

What's your budget?

I use a Shimano 16 Antares DC for 1/2oz. blades, and I am really happy with it. 8-)
