Brand Name Bass Rods and Reels: Advice?

Don't know nothin' 'bout nucular physics and don't know nothin' 'bout bass
fishin'!

I want to do some online shopping to get a feel for pricing. Any website
suggestions? Any brand name suggestions?

I want a 5.5 foot one piece graphite medium light to medium action
baitcasting rod and a aluminum anodized ball bearing baitcasting reel with
5:1 retrieve and with a disengaging pawl and magnetic braking. This is for
12 pound braided line.

I also want a 6 foot one piece graphite medium action spinning rod and a
graphite ball bearing spinning reel. This is for 10 pound line.

I got my suggestions from a book; I don't know any bass fishermen! So, if
my info is outdated, or inappropriate, feel free to offer alternative
suggestions. This is for California bass fishing and not for southern
states bassing. I believe the region difference regarding gear is
significant (so I'm told).

I'm all ears (or eyes)!

Thanks
