Thanks for all the replies, I plan to use Jig-n-worm, which is what my friend uses. It seemed to work pretty well and the worm is maybe 3 inches long. Now I'm leaning towards a 6'6 or under rod. I also plan to go to Cabela's/talk to my friend about what I should get. I'll check out all the rods/reels you guys suggested. The President has a bunch of models at the same price, which model would be the smartest to get? Other reels have multiple models, with kayak fishing in mind, what should I be looking for?

Thanks Darren for the thought-out post. I really like the looks of the Daiwa rod so I think I might get that or something similar since I would guess 4th of July sales are a thing. I don't really know a lot about reels other than I want a spinner reel. What do you think a good 50-80 dollar reel would be? Also what kind of sales are there for 4th of July? Also, what kind of gear ratio should I get for a 6'6" pole if that matters?

Hey guys, I just recently started to fish and I was looking at buying a rod/reel. I fish in a kayak, and I've only used my friend's fishing rod. Would you guys pair the Okuma Trio-30 and Daiwa Team S Spinning rod together? Is there a better rod/reel for under 150 total? Also, I plan to fish for bass with the occasional pickerel biting my line. Thanks!
