$600 setup? Easy guy. You want something that can take a little beating once youre out on the water unless you don't mind making it rain on gear. Shimano Teramars (8-9ft) are relatively inexpensive at around 175. Sure calstars, phenix, seeker etc are nice rods, but you can get away with same type of setup that is much easier on the wallet. As for the reel, saltist, toriums, sealines, lexa 400 etc. It all depends on your budget.

But just like Buddha said, you'll need 2 different setups as they are more suitable for each application.

Check bloody decks classifieds for some steals. Picked up a new teramar for $100 a few weeks ago.
