What would be a good rod for the 3000 for all around pond use stuff like light texas rigs, wacky rigs, ned rigs, spinner baits, lipless cranks.

I am looking for a rod that will pair very good with a Shimano Stradic ci4+ FB that I will be able to throw a lot of things on. I try to only use one rod because the type of fishing I do is all bank fishing on random ponds I find I on google earth. The ponds I fish usually have a lot of grass so baits I use are light texas rigs, wacky rig, Shaky head, ned rig, spinner baits, chatter baits, and sometimes lipless crankbaits. My budget is in the 100-200$ range. Even if you don't have a recommendation for my type of fishing, id love to hear what you use with your Shimano Stradic ci4+ FB.

What is the advantages of the t-handle?

I would say i'm a moderate to advanced fisherman. I really want to get the shimano stradic CI4+ FB because i've heard really good things about it. The main type of fishing I do is find random ponds around me and use light texas rigs, wacky rigs, ned rigs, spinner baits, I don't use lures much bc there's a lot of grass in the ponds I fish. I live in south carolina. Bass pro shops is having a sale on the reel right now 1000-4000 range models, my question is which one should I choose for my type of fishing I do. And also what kind of rod would be good to go with it in the 100-200$ range?
