need help buying a reel

[staind2515]

i'm looking to spend a moderate amount on a rod/reel combo. i dont' need the best but i want something that will be good. i really can't decide on a bait casting or open face. i mean i can work both but which is better for small lake fishing? does it matter? that's the main thing i need. our lake's avg depth is 28ft and the max is 128. is there anything else you all would like to know because i need help. thanks<br><br>
