I agree with theangler on the ultralight setup although I really like the St.Croix lite fast for trout and smallmouth.
I also agree with him on getting a combo unless your wanting to spend at least $200 or there abouts. Buying a combo Saves money, saves thinking and offers a good back up in future. just make sure it feels good to you.
I have a 5' combo labeled light&fast but it handles more like an ultralight xfast, its rated for 1/64-1/8oz lures and come with a size 10 reel. I got it on sale for $50 plus the #10 power pro, so around $65 and honestly its a jewel for trout. I use 1/16oz jigs and 2"grubs/tubes 75% of the time.
If your encountering rough territory or are hard on gear naturally, consider the 4'8"ugly stik ultralight combo. I seen they had them at Walmart for $40 but they are $50 normally.
Daiwa puts out nice economy ultralight and light combos in fiberglass and graphite.
