ok, I will suggest a rino spin cast rod and a shimono quick fire spinning reel combo,
if it comes with line on the reel, strip it off "no matter what the sales guy says" You will want to put on 6-8 pound test line.
This will put you on trout, bass, gills, perch walleye, crappie, pike, and yes even carp under 15 pounds.
you can troll with it, "not with a down rigger"
You can cast with a bobber,
you do set lines.
you will want a packet of different size sinkers, a cople different sizes bobbers, a packet of swivel snaps, an asortment of different size hooks.
[ol][li]Five lures I would suggest are.[/li][li]Rooster Tail, Yellow[/li][li]Repalla, silver "split is best but not nessesary.[/li][li]Black or Frog or Watermellon Gitter Bug.[/li][li]crawler harnes, "single, double or triple hook" You can use store bought or make your own. I enjoy making my own while watching the tube.[/li][/ol]
If you go salt water fishing you will need entirely different equipment.
I target other species of fish as well and have different equipment for those. I fish for stergeon salmon and channel cats which if you know what is good for ya, you will get beefier equipment for those.
I would shy away from bait casting reel combos unless you realy want to pratice a lot on casting. they are good equipment but do requier a cirtain amount of skill level to use.
What info the other guys are looking for is, where do you live "generaly" and the species you are looking for.
I find most people who give the responce you give are one of two type of angler, they are looking for primarily bass, or they are looking for what ever will bite.
Toss these guys a little more info and they will jump in with some good advice.
