I really need help picking a pair of combos

Hey guys,

So after some unfortunate equipment failure due to me being careless and crushing my old rods(bill dance style in the truck haha), as well as my reels being ancient I am now in the market for some poles combo's. I would love to spend thousands on rods if I could, however I am 28 and freshly married so a crazy arsenal wont be possible, until some other things are dealt with. Enough about me here's where I am at.

I am looking for 2 versatile combos for my home state of michigan. I love Largemouth bass fishing, as well as pike fishing. The rods I broke were two seekers paired to 10 year old pflugers, one in a 35 series the other a 40. They seemed to work well for general bass and pike fishing, where I fish there are usually northerns near by, so usually I fish with 15 or 30 pound braid depending if im shore casting or on a boat, followed by fluero leaders. I do have a bait caster for pitching and flipping, and plan on upgrading that next year, because baitcasters arent exactly my bread and butter its my first year trying one and I love it, but want two spinning combos I can keep as well for tons of situations.

I have been eyeing the penn battle 2 series spinning combos, I understand they are usually associated with saltwater, however they do make inshore sizes and my uncles 28 year old pan fishing penn is still actively in usage on my ultra light rod for taking my nephews out. I rarely pan fish so I do not intend on upgrading that until catastrophic failure lol.

My question is should I grab a 2500 or 3000 matched to a medium for bass, as well as a 4000 to a medium? or Could I use the in boat model 4000 medium heavy for shore casting and piking on boats?

I am also not opposed to getting two of the same combos, however thats more for equipment failure and I feel like i will be vastly sacrificing versatility.

I am open to other suggestions I can just get both combos for under $260.00 Shipped. Are there any other recommendations? I grew up fishing with my uncles high end gear, and recently have been fishing once or twice a week.
