Quantum makes a good product. I dont know if they will hold up to tournament fishing or saltwater,but for recreational fishing I've never had aproblem on Largemouth up to 10lbs.
Tom's advice on the ammbassador is sound, very tough and reliable. The only trouble I've ever had with 5500's has been with the anti-reverse. I prefer a low-profile reel for bass fishing because I palm the reel and they are more comfortable to me.
As for rods go with a med-heavy one-piece with lots of graphite for sensitivity especially for worm fishing.
Try basspro. They always have combos that will suit most needs this time of year

I was also going to suggest you look at the basspro combo's you can't beat the price and for all fresh water application they will last just fine. I have a quantum IR4 Iron that has been very good in the salt, casts better than my ambassaduers but I don't think it is as rugged, who needs rugged for trout. 
Save some for later.
