TLD20 with a matching 6' 10-15 kg overhead stick. There are plenty of choices available in rods. Live fibre is popular with some, but I find them a bit soft. Reels are well under $150 and you should be able to get a good rod for under $200. I had custom rods built on pac comp blanks for under $200. Use 10 kg mono which is plenty for all but the biggest blues and hoos you will ever encounter. The stretch in mono is as asset, not a liability.

"The underlying spirit of angling is that the skill of the angler is pitted against the instinct and strength of the fish and the latter is entitled to an even chance for it's life."
(Quotation from the rules of the Tuna Club Avalon, Santa Catalina, U.S.A.)
Apathy is the enemy
That's the best answer you'll get. I agree totally with Jeremy's recommendation (though I might opt for a 7ft stick). The prepackaged combos are probably the cheapest way to go and you should look around for the best deal. Should be able to get a combo around $280 or less. Most of them have 6ft or 6'6'' sticks with them.

PS - Having said that, Sundown Marine have a special on the tyrnos and could probably come up with a good combo price less than $100 more than the TLD combo.(see the thread "Rod to match Tyrnos 20")
