So I can spend around 200 on a reel and 200 on a rod so 400 total. I was wondering any suggestion on what reel and rod to get? Fishing mostly plastics and t-rigs

If it were me:  Dobyns Savvy 734 casting rod ($179.99) and a Lew's Tournament Pro G Speed Spool casting reel ($199.99). That will leave you $20.02 to spend on some decent line.

If it were me and I could come up with another $60, I'd buy instead a Dobyns Champion 734 casting rod. Love 'em.

My recommendation would be a Fenwick Aetos 7'2" MH/XF with a Tatula type R spooled with 30lb PP Slick.

Tournament Pro G on sale for $149.95 with free shipping from American Legacy Fishing right now. Just added an 8.3:1 myself. 

Nice!

The upgrade is well worth it. If that $60 is hard to come by, check out the Lew's Lite or the Tournament MB. Sensitivity is of the utmost important when fishing plastics. 

On a joking note, grab a black max and buy a Champion Extreme DX744! The rod is a beast! 

Check out the new line of dobyns, the fury line up. Heard they're just as good if not better than the savy line. A couple others to look at would be the Irod Gen2, St. Croix and Daiwa tatula. For a reel, you have tons of options in that price range. Since your fishing plastics I'd say check out the Daiwa tatula with the t-wing or the gold standard, Shimano curado. 

That model of Fenwick is my favorite jig/soft plastic rod.    You spoil it by putting a Diawa reel on it though.  I'd recommend a Chronarch 50  or something else that said SHIMANO on the side of it.
