The BPS rod will be fine for the reaction baits. The trout rod may be a little too light though depending on whether or not it has fast taper action. If it bends mostly at the tip half and is a bit stiffer in the lower half of the rod, it's fast taper. If it bends pretty even throughout the legnth of the rod, it may be too soft....not say that it would not work though....
