striper rod

I mostly trout fish, but since getting my kayak I am being drawn to the Tuolumne and Stanislaus rivers.  I am looking to get a striper rod and reel, any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!!!

From my kayak I use a 6'6" rod. It is a little light, but it's so much fun. I landed my 37" 18lb striper on it and it was a fun fight. I just use a little larger reel. I do a lot of jerkbait casting with it and my arm doesnt get tired. What kind of kind of fishing do you plan on doing with it? bait/casting lures/trolling?

How much do you want to spend,lures bait,trolling casting?

I enjoy casting lures, and would like to keep rod and reel under 100 dollars. And am dying, to catch a BIG OLE STRIPER!!!

It's all about what you like/want/$$$$.

I've put a few in the boat while hunting bass.
