Trolling reel/rod recommendations

[Bduck]

I have 3 of the Okuma cold water series models (153, 203, 354). Been using Okuma's for a long time & really like these. Early years I remember the style of trolling rods I had, baits casters (Penn 209 reels) with lead core & snubber. Another oldie used was a Mitchell Garcia 300 open bail (still have it sitting in retirement). I try not to go overboard with a heavy price on rods as they take the worse of all beatings, I have a few brands, but I put my money currently into Velocity's and happy with them & works for me. Don't have the luxury of travel to specialized fishing areas to invest in different rod strengths, only within a 3hr local as I am the caregiver limiting me to travel.
