If you don't want to go broke I'd look at Falcon Original Spinning Rod 6'6" medium action and any 2500 size Shimano spinning reel that fits your price range. Spool 8 or 10 lb fluorocarbon. This rig works well for me and didn't cost a ton.

10# BRAID!!!!!with a light flouro leader.at least doubles your casting distance.and gets more solid hooksets with lighter action rod.Hope this helps.

make sure the reel is a high speed retrieve, i prefer the shimano stradic 1000 for 8 pound test.

zoom finesse or trick worm
picasso or spot remover jig head.
10 - 12# flouro, or light braid/flouro leader, 6'6" or 7' medium with fast tip.
smooth spinning reel
if you think your fishing too slow... slow down!

For about $110-$120 total: BPS medium Tourney Special 6'6" rod and Shimano Sahara or Sedona reel. Nice combos - I have one of each. Handles up to 12# mono/copolymer.
In memory of my childhood friend Dan Sterling, who taught me at an early age how to catch bream with a hand-line, and who unknowingly hooked me on fishing for life.

Skeet Reese Shakey Head Rod $89.99 and I suggest a 3000 or 4000 Series spinning reel. The bigger spool helps prevent line twist, has a smoother drag and they propel the line off the spool better, so they will cast further.
I like to use 20lb Power Pro or 10lb Fireline with a 8-12 lb (8-9 foot long)Fluoro Leader.

3000+ size reels are too heavy for me and distance isnt an issue vs a 1000 but thats just me. i like the combo to lay weightless in my hand so i can just feel the weight vs lifting it. just my 2 cents.
