Well the time has come to update my spinning arsenal. I currently have two low priced rods and two low priced reels and its time to go to a more premium setup. Now I am kind of and ABU/Falcon guy but that is with baitcast setups and I dont really know anything about spinning setups so im open to anything. Im wanting one that is kinda multi-purpose so I can shakey head, drop shot, and wack jig head with the same rod. Im wanting to keep the price around $250 dollars. So far I have come up with this.

What do yall think? Any and all suggestions appreciated

Shimano or Daiwa. Get the lightest weight in 2500 size you can afford. The Daiwa's handle line slightly better.

I think your choices would be fine. From personal experience this is what I would recommend:
Reel: Daiwa Tierra 2500 or for a little more the Advantage. Also, the Shimano Saros is good.
Rod: Shimano Crucial (lifetime warranty), BPS Johnny Morris, or Cabelas XML.
Another route would be to get a cheaper reel like the Daiwa Exceler (best value on the market and really smooth) and pair it up with a higher end rod like a Shimano Cumara or Daiwa Fuego. This is what I would do because the reel is not as crucial in a spinning set up.

Check out a Falcon Lowrider LFC-4-1610 shakey head special and pair that up with a 1500 series Shimano Symetre reel. I have 10lb test P-line fluouroclear line on my setup. I caught a 3.40 bass this weekend on a shakey head worm and had no problem boating the fish. For my weightless & wacky worm fishing, I use a Falcon Cara weightless worm rod with a 200 series Shimano Curado and 12 test Seagar inviix line. Hope that helps

I use 2 different rod/reel combos for this type of fishing.

Shimano Symmetry 2500 with a 6'6" Gloomis IMX SJR MF

Shimano Stradic 2500 with a 6'6" St. Croix M F

Thanks for the advice guys. Of the reels yall have named which one would be the best as far as preventing line twists? If there is such a reel that is.

I have 2 Cardinal 700 series spinning reels and a Daiwa Exceler, which are the same basic platform as the Soron STX and Tierra/Advantage.

basically, you aren't going to go wrong if you chose between those 2 and throw the Shimano Saros in there as well...not a bad choice in the bunch.

The Soron is made of more metal (all metal frame, sidecover, rotor, HPCR bearings, carbon matrix drag), but the Daiwa is a little smoother on retrieves.

I don't own anything besides Shimano reels. The only time I have line twist issues is fishing tubes or drop shot and it takes several trips before I get any indication of it.

preventing line twist is more about how you put the line on the reel and closing the bail manually. I chuck my spool up in a drill and put the line on just like a baitcaster.

As for reels, the Daiwa Tierra or Shimano Stradic in 2500 size. I have both and they are both great. The Tierra is cheaper. As for rods, I'm a Hendrix guy and Mike has both a drop shot rod and a shaky head rod. You can't go wrong with either. Plus he has a sale on through Christmas. Search for Hendrix rods on Google. I also have a Shimano Crucial which I like a lot too.
