Congrats on the new-to-you combo. I'm not familiar that setup, but I do like Cabela's stuff. I have several Cabela's Salt Stryker reels for surf fishing. That setup sounds pretty heavy duty, with the lure rating being 2 ¼ oz. Enjoy!
Sufix 832. Strong, holds knots well, and good multipurpose line. Sufix 832 was highly suggested here when I first started using braid, so it's what I usually spool up with.
Berkley Lightning Rod Shock spinning rod - right at your budget level. Get a 6'6" medium. Comes in either 1 or 2 piece, to suit your transportation choice. Lightweight & strong. Pflueger reels are a great bang for your buck. Good luck.
