offhand and without knowing any specifics, I'd be a little wary. You may have to be a little more descriptive for any informed opinion. The line, in your case may be one of the most crucial elements...don't get "flat line"...get "weight forward floating" if you want to reduce your casting frustration factor. Like with any worthwhile equipment...you get what you pay for. I'm not saying you need to go hog wild but you could probably find a nice little set-up for a reasonable price in, say, cabelas or somewhere comparable.

If that wal-mart one has ablack foam handle, forget it.
