Good Chunking rod will have a Moderate or Medium action to it, you really don't want a fast tip rod. We are using circle hooks, so you really don't need to load up the rod fast or set the hook but more less ease into it till you get tight. Then once tight you can bring the heat.
Any good conventional reel with a good bait clicker will work.

I've been trying to put together a chunking setup or something I can have that's versatile. I've got an Avet Lx raptor and I'm thinking of putting I on a 6'6" star paraflex heavy action or a shimano Televara BW MH or heavy.

Also all and any of this comes down to preference, what one has in mind is not necessarily the same for another. What would really help is if more would chime in with what or how they go about. They wanna read but offer no insight, oh and then you get the smart azz that will say that's what the search box is for.
Well guess what, while a search box can be helpful, rod technology, reel technology, line technology, all of this is constantly improving. What was great a few years ago, may not be the same today.
You have new fisherman who are excited and wanna learn from those that have experience, it takes all involved to share what they have to offer, so one can make a rash decision on a technique or gear.
Fisherman are a odd bunch, if ive learned anything, we are different and you just don't know what you might get in return.
Seriously though, some you folks need to share what you have, its beneficial to the new ones wanting to know, we are the ones supporting this industry and help pay the bills for those who make a living at this.
There's not as many saltwater fisherman as there is freshwater, this ain't dime a dozen bass fishing. So help out, and say something, it just might be beneficial.

That part right there. That makes my @ss itch when I see that comment. Like dude throw me a bone or something. I'm new to tuna fishing an hour van search til your eyes get dried out and still won't find up to date info.

Yes sir my favorite part is when you have spent days going through the search bar stuff but the most relevant stuff you read is 10 years old. So you make a new post in hopes that new tech or a old salt would steer you in a direction.

I use a Graftech Rail Rod for chunking and love it

Does anyone chunk with spinning gear

You certainly can, you would be better off fishing a spinning reel with a Live Liner feature.
Have a Penn 8500 Live Liner on a Shimano Grappler C rod, would not hesitate to Chunk with it.

If you don't have to cast with it I'd go conventional
