I am looking for a good spinning reel / rod combo. This is the first tackle that I will have of good quality, as I have had cheap junk. I don't want to spend more than 200. Can you recommend a good spinning combo. I was looking at Cabela's xml rod and cabelas prodigy spinning reel combo:

I would look into getting a Shimano Stradic & pair it up with a Shimano Clarus rod. Shimano makes a great product and they have great customer service. The reel is about $120 and the rod goes for about $60 which falls right in your price range.

Look into the Okuma spinning reels. For your price range, you could get the Okuma Inspira and a nice rod to go along with it. I don't know the Okuma rod specs, maybe John can give you a recommendation to match the Inspira with.
