Which Rod and reel?

[sebastian]

Hey! My Name is Sebastian and I'm a exchange student from germany studying for 2 semester @ San Diego State University! Fishing is my favorite hobby and now I want go fishing for largemouth bass here in san diego.
But first of all I need a new rod and rell, because i left all my tackle back in germany.
And that's the point where i need your help.
First of all the rods: I'd looked for the Team Daiwa X-drop shot finesse and for the quantum tour editon pt. Both as spinning rods, because i'm not very into using a baitcasting reel? is there anybody here who has some experience withe these rods and can give me some advice which one i should buy?
And i need a new spinning reel. I took a closer look @ the quantum energy pti and i have to say that i'm thinking about bying this reel.

But first of i would like to have some recomendations from you because i have no experience in fishing bass.

thank you very much in advance for all your help!

Sebastian
