what type of rod is best for me? And what reel is best?

Currently i use all spinning rods, however i would like to try a baitcaster. I do a lot of pike and bass fishing with some catfishing, i have a large pole for that though. I'm looking on getting a new pole and i really dont know what to buy. I do a lot of fishing with swim baits and spinners. But i also do some topwater and jigs. I really want a rood and a reel that are very versatile to weights of lures and has good sensitivity. right now money isnt a large issue so buying a combo isnt really what i was looking for but if anyone has one in mind then thats fine too. I'm from michigan and when i top water i do run into a lot of lily pads, i dont know if that will help or not. Thnk you any help would be appreciated.

The Abu Garcia Max Pro Is great and has a fast gear ratio for for the trpe of fishing you are doing. If you have more cash you can get the better modells but the Max Pro is pretty awesome and would suite a beginner due to its easy to use backlash control. As for rods make sure you get a baitcaster specific rod due to its backbone in the blank a spin rod would not work as well. Als for sensibility use braid around 20lb
