Best bang for your buck would in surf setup would be a Tica rod and Shimano Spheros reel.
A Penn704 is also a good choice in a reel though its a little heavy compared to
the Shimano.Not quite as smooth as the Shimano and you won't get as much casting distance but very durable and reliable.
If your budget is $200 you'll have $40-$50 bucks left over so you can also grab yourself a few plugs too.
