For casting, I like a 6 foot light rod and a little spinning reel, you can get a ultralight reel for $19.99 and a rod for $19.99 at Academy. I bought one the other day it was a Berkeley rod and you can cast a mile with it. I use 6 lb test P-Line.
I have a custom jigpole, I like a 12' jigpole with a cheapo plastic reel as they are just there to hold line basically, prefer one with a reel seat on the very end like a flyrod just for balance. You can get some good jigpoles at Academy as well and they start at ~ $30. The lighter the jigpole, the more expensive they get.
