Light spin for bait and plastics

Howdy all!

Am chasing some rigs for using with plastics for chasing bream and flathead as well as bait fishing for whiting at the beach to send back out on the big rods.

The rod will also be used for the kids to usewhen I take them fishing and will be using bait.

Am about ready to pull the trigger on a couple of Shimano Bushy Whiting 2-4kg rods paired with a Shimano sienna 2500. All up the rigs will cost about $130-$150 each.

As always your advice is very much appreciated!
