I hate to throw this in there too but get a good rod too.
I used cheaper rods for a long time until someone gave me a nicer rod. 150 range now all my rods and reels are mid high level. 100/200 range. Not saying I did this overnight.
I would by the rod or reel then later get the other that I realy wanted.
Look this stuff can get crazy but in the long run better equipment will last longer than those 50/60 dollar jobs. Just dont try to get everything all at one time.
