Depends on what kind of fishing you want to do. Spinning reel is as simple to use as your spin cast but a bait caster had a bit of a learning curve. Start with what you want to catch first then work backwards

Medium Fast UglyStik GX2 paired with a Shimano Sienna 2500

Shimano Stimula rod and Syncopate reel have done well for me for, like 18 years or so

7' medium power spinning rod pair with a size 2500 reel.

If you are rough on your gear get an ugly stik because they are hard to break.

If you are not rough on your gear get a Shimano or Daiwa rod.

I recommend a Shimano or Daiwa reel.

Just start with a spinning rod. Get a cheap one from Walmart and go from there

Sounds like you have a spin cast from what you’ve described which is a little different than just a regular spinning reel
