What are some good reels and rods?

Hi. I’m planning to get a good quality all-rounder fishing rod and reel (looking at Shimano Compre 6’6). I mainly do light/med fishing, targeting bream, snapper, whiting, flatheads, threadfin salmon and jewfish (10kg). I have posted questions before and people have suggested the Pflueger Supreme 8030 and Shimano Symetre 2500. However, looking at the Supreme its freshwater (but 9 ball bearings) and the Symetre is good but the looks and only five ball bearing. Can anyone please suggest me some good reels (max $125/8lb to 10lb line) aside from these two. Thanks

Your question involves two very different types of tackle. I would buy an open face spinning reel with 6 or 7 ft rod medium heavy for smaller fish and a heavier Penn 109 type saltwater reel with a shorter stubby glass rod made for heavy fish for saltwater look around for good used equipment try craigslist on internet or garage sales. Match tackle to types of fishing it works better in real life. I like Penn 360 Slammer myself, its strong.
