Take a look at a Shimano tekoda and tedmar SW inshore casting rod.

I use the tekoda 500 (with briad) on the following rod for fluke and other bottom fish and it is the ideal rig IMO...a real pleasure to use and it will not bust your bank account. You can of course go up a few notches to higher end reels but IMO it is not needed, this is a ***very*** comfortable set up that is lighter, smoother then any similar penn reel. (but my 9 year old only fishes with a penn 320LD and does not want to use anything else) but IMO this is a FAR nicer rig.

I suggest you feel one before you plunk down your $.
