Hey all!
I started fly fishing about a year or so ago, and I've really enjoyed it. My 5 and 7 year old daughters have shown an interest in fishing and asked for rods for Christmas, so I got them each a Dock Demon so they can play around with those. I plan on taking them to some local lakes that have panfish, bass and stocked trout in the cooler weather. I'd like to grab a spin rod just so I can have some fun along with them, and also go out on my own when I don't feel like fly fishing.
I've seen the Ugly Stik recommended a lot, I found a combo at Walmart for about $60: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Ugly-Stik-6-6-GX2-Spinning-Fishing-Rod-and-Reel-Spinning-Combo/33590637?classType=VARIANT&from=/search
However I also see there is this Pflueger combo rod for just $40 more: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Pflueger-6-9-President-Spinning-Reel-and-Rod-Combo/10228915644?classType=REGULAR
Any thoughts on which would be better for basic lake fishing for panfish, bass, and the occasional trout? I'll happily spend the extra $40 if it's going to be worth the upgrade.
Thanks!

Pflueger all day. That uglystik will work fine but the reel that comes with the combo is garbage. The Pflueger set will last longer and would be the perfect size for what you’re looking for
