Telescopic Fishing Rods

Can someone recommend a good beginner's fishing rod and reel?

I am wanting to get my boyfriend a beginner's fishing set for his birthday. He is planning to start fishing in a canal (we are hiring a boat for our honeymoon). I think a telescopic rod might be good.

Have any fishermen (or women) got any suggestions for a good rod/reel/set to buy ?

Thanks

I would go with a Ugly Stick, Shakespear combo. Which will only run you about $30 and you can get a Wal-Mart, very sensitive rod and reasonably dependable reel with good casting. Great for beginners.
