If you're talking about soft baiting - which is the forum you've posted in - then I'd recommend not getting the Shimano combo you've linked to, which is a 6 foot fibreglass rod. I don't think they are suitable for most types of soft baiting. And there's no use for a baitrunner function with soft baiting - it could be used for straylining when you're not soft baiting, but it's more the rod which isn't correct in my opinion.

The Daiwa combo is a composite rod, not full graphite, but that would probably do the job - depending on what you hope to achieve. The old Okuma X Factor was a composite and fine for pannie fishing for snapper on softbait.

Many of us softbait nuts spend a lot on rods/reels, but plenty of good fish get caught on comparatively budget gear.
