I would personally check eBay for a nice used Fuego or Sol from Daiwa. They run normally between $100-$150 and would more than suffice with what you want it for. If you want to cough up an extra couple hundred bones, you can look into the Alphas and Pixys from Daiwa.

You have to decide which is more important.
