For a good starter outfit my vote would go for the berkley with the shimano baitcaster stay away from the corsair ,check out the eagleclaw graphites they're priced in the 60$ range not a bad starter at all.My brother likes his and hasn't moved up yet...go figure? I own 2 lamiglass yet my rod of choice is the Berkley series 1# good luck tight lines
