Just a bit of info...
If you're looking to buy a Quest II combo from da Bean, you'll have lots of time to make a decision as to what size to buy.
The website shows the Quest II combo as not being available until October. The rods are available, but the new Quest II reel is likely the culprit in the delay. The old Quest reel was made of a graphite composite, and isn't as good as the new Quest II reel.
If you can hold out until then, it'll be worth getting the new reel.
Don't think of the weight of the rod as how many pounds it'll handle. That's a non-factor.
You'll get a zillion opinions on rod weights for beginners, target fish species, and on and on.
When people ask me what rod to get for their first rod, more often than not I recommend a 5wt - 8 1/2 or 9' in length.
It'll be ideal for trout fishing, on the light side but still useful for bass, and will work fine for panfish. YMMV.
