I agree, that setup is way overkill for bluegill. It sounds like they sold you a bass combo. I have the same setup I use for cats and bass in heavy cover.
Bluegills fight hard for their size, but they are not very big. What you need is a light or ultralight pole with around 6-8 pound test. The rod length is fine, but get something lighter.
