The cheap combos at Cal Ranch seem to work just fine, so long as you're not going after big fish. The rod doesn't have a ton of rigidity to it, and the drag on the reels can be really hit and miss. FishingRookie and I used em last year. My drag worked decently well, and his was pretty much like an on/off switch. It would either give too much or not at all. If you're hoping for bigger fish, I'd at least try and get a nicer reel.
