I honestly think you can spend less than $100 and get everything you need. Right now when I'm wading for trout or bass I'm using a 7ft Fin-nor paired with a Diawa regal z 2500. I think the rod was actually a buy this reel get this rod deal, however, the reel is long gone and the rod is still going strong. I think the regal z is a great deal for the money (around 40 bucks). Out of my four freshwater spinning set ups I have three regal z and one shimano sienna. They work and they don't break the bank. Save the money for the saltwater gear.
