Just remember to save a fair amount of that money for plastics and hardbodies, they aren't cheap!

You could get a nice little outfit for that price.
Try a Shimano Stella or Squidgy rod, matched with a Daiwa Samurai reel, loaded with 4 pound fireline.
After that, you'd still have a little bit of money for lures.
I think a lot of the guys here would agree with such an outfit.
Some may opt for the slightly more expensive Okuma Epix reel, but this will leave no money for lures.

Ps: if in WA, pop into the store as it is all in stock. If you cant, PM GeoffP or Warren about a shipping deal!

Have a look at matching a Shimano Squidgie Spin (around $100) with an Okuma Avenger 15 (around $70) - that'll leave you with $25 for a spool of Fireline, $20 for a couple of spools of different sized mono for a leader (or two little spools of Siglon Flourocarbon ).

Then you've got $35 to spend on lures, one hardbody, one packet of jig heads and one packet of plastics should bring you to the $250 mark Just have a look at the online store here for ideas.

Not a bad starter kit
