Gonna be hard to find a suitable 2 speed conventional with the budget unless you go used.
Maybe a single speed with high gear range would be nice.
Penn Fathom Star 25N and Penn Carnage 2 jigging rod will be nice and light with plenty of power for blues/blacks/cods/schoolie albies.
Maybe load it with spectra for backing but will require proficiency in joining mono/floro to spectra.
