I've only tried one baitcaster in my life and it didn't go well but I want to give it another shot so I'm looking into getting a good starting rod and reel but not wanting to break the bank doing it ($100 or less). I think I've narrowed it down to these two options...

Any suggestions or insights on either? I've always been a Shimano guy but I'm open to whatever.
