Any of those. But, you need to figure out if you like fast action, medium action or full action. Can you cast these rods?
You can pick up a inexpensive reel fairly easy, but for stillwater, you want to get one that you can buy spare spools for. Get a good line though, it can be all the difference in the world. Better lines don't have memory problems either.
Bad thing is, you say from a tube which means Stillwater. That also means sinking lines as well to truly cover a lake. And lines run around $60. and up.
You can do it with say a SA set up, but they can be a hard lesson.
I recommend a good feeling rod, a reel with a good drag and a GOOD line, because seriously, if you put a cheap line on a top of the line rod, it is going to cast like crap, but if you put a good line on a broom stick, you will be able to cast it.
