mrs. dickerson needs our help on a rod n reel gang

[bamabassman]

got an email form mrs. dickerson folks. she is blaming me for getting her hooked on fishing, lol. she has got a fishing partner and needs our help on getting her set up with a rod n reel for general fishing. she wants something strong enough for cats as well as bass and bream. so if ya'll would, give her your opion on what she needs to get.
let me remind oyu now she is not into the high priced stuff we all get and want. so i think baitcasters are not included. she needs something not too expensive yet good for someone who is kinda a novice. she is one of our senior citezens too ok? she can handle a spinning reel nicely, as this is what she used at the wheeler get together. i told her that is probably gonna be her best bet on a combo. along with a ZEBCO combo. so that is 2 combos for her to use. giver her YOUR opion on which reel she should get on the spinning reel. i say a ABU CARDINAL along with a nice medium rod from wally world. spooled with 10 pound mono to get her started. what's ya'lls opion?

thanks in advance on her behalf gang.
