That is a pretty pricy set up for someone who doesnt plan to use it much. I love the St Croix Rods but I fish a lot. There are pleny of alternatives to any rod. Check out the bass pro series rods they arent bad. When I first started I bought them for like $20-$30 and still have them today. All reel companies make cheaper reels as well. If you dont like the bass pro stuff go to like a dicks or some kind of sporting good store. It will all work fine for what you are trying to do.
