"My" first rod was a True Temper 5 1/2 foot boat pole with two guides and a top coupled with a Berkley spinning reel far too small for it. We used to do some saltwater bottom fishing as well as some fresh so my dad wanted me to have an all purpose set up. I caught a 5lb 12oz largemouth my first time out with it. Filpped it over and threw my 6500 on it last summer and my son caught his first sea robin on it.
