Lead-core is fine on a wire rod, but you can't use wire on regular guides. With that in mind, I would go for a pair of wire capable rods - it will give you more flexibility down the road.

The Daiwa Sealine wire line rod may be a good choice. They are 6'6" have fuji guides and reelseat, and a slickbutt (very nice feature). They retail for about $90. For the price, they are an excellent value. I think we have 6 - good jigging action, good with the tubes, and work for rigs as well. All around good rods.

For other production price point rods - the Tsunami wire rod is nice (more guides than most rods its length) and the Star Aeriel series is okay too, but the stiffest of the group.
