Recommend a spinning rig.

For the reel you can't go wrong with a pfluegger presidential. And I would just check out the rods and see what you like the feel of.

That's pretty much spot on.
If you wanna spend a little more and get a high quality rod pm sniper and get him to build you one.
Mine is a 7'6" bream crappie and trout killer !
 
Penn makes some nice reels too. Fierce or Battle series would be great. About a 3000 size. Would also be good casting at the beach, if you ever wanted. To get a medium or MH action, you might have to buy your rod separate. Academy sports has H2O Express rods that seem nice for the money.

Ruger what action is yours? Is it super flimsy/whippy

No it's more of a medium action but with a fast tip to play the bream but with enough backbone to set the hook
It's awesome
 
I use a 7' Ugly stick lite pro with a Mitchell 3500 spinning reel. I can throw an 1/8 oz jig or a plastic worm and still have the backbone to set the hook. I can also burn a buzzbait or spinner bait with it. I can also fish square bill crankbaits. It is my most used rod and I can fish for anything with it. I event took it to mobile bay and caught some sheepshead with it. Absolutely love that setup. and overall I was in less than 100$.
 
Daiwa 1300 series spinning reels. I have two about 15-20 years old. My main fishing buddy has two over 20 years old. No bail springs to wear out. Great all around med action reels. I back Ruger on the Sniper recommendation. Tell him what you want and he can build it. Had him make me a rod last year strictly for striper fishing. Love my striper stick.

I would also pm RSIMMS for a suggestion. He makes a living guiding fishermen. He would probably know more than most anyone here about quality gear

I won't even try to recommend a rod, but the Pflueger President spinning reels are fantastic!
 
pfleuger or a step up maybe a shimano sahara or diawa fuego. a shimano nasci will put you in the 100 buck range. all are good reels if you keep them serviced. i use a 2500 size in the shimano and diawa and a 30 size in pfleuger(their spools are smaller than some other reels) for panfish, crappie and drop shot.

my rods are bnm, lews and a couple of cheap berkley and shakespeares. my 2 favorite rods are a 7' bnm sam heaton super sensitive and lews speed shooter both in 7' light and medium light.
 
Pflueger reels are great...no complaints from me. But I have begun swapping all of mine out for higher end Daiwa spinning reels. I just like them that much.

I trout fish 95% of the time now days, and the other 5% is for panfish. I use two rods for that most of the time. Both are St Croix and one is a 6'4 Light action. It has enough backbone to it to handle 20+ inch trout when I hook up with one, but still has enough play that the smaller trout and 8 to 10 inch bluegill & shell crackers are fun. It's my goto rod most all of the time. It's the 6'4 Panfish series. I have a 6' Trout series but it's a bit too flimsy for my liking...so I almost never use it when I'm in water that my chances are good for hooking into a big trout. I use it when just catching stocker size 10-14 inch trout and panfish.

I do have another rod I like that is sold by the people that make the Trout Magnet lures. It is actually a really nice rod for under $60. It's a bit stiffer rod than the St Croix I have but I use it for throwing jerkbaits and spinners for trout...specifically the size 5 to size 7 Rapalas.

Will second this. The Nasci is a good reel for $100. Id get a Shimano or Daiwa either way though.
 
Dont got short on the rod especially if its for ultralite. I used to think a 5ft ultralite rod was the way to go. Wrong, I now think. I have 6.5 or 7.5 ft rods for my ultralite to medium weight rods. way more control and versatility for lure/bait weight and ability to cast. I am pretty much a 6ft or over rod length now for all my freshwater fishing. Action wise..still figuring out that one out.
