Tackle Question

Hi

Posting to this group since although i'm hoping to fish across disciplines
the tackle i'm asking about probably is most applicable to coarse fishing.
Hope i'm right.

It's been a long time since I fished but now want to get back into it. I'd
like to buy a fairly multi -purpose kit which I can use for fresh water
spinning and bait fishing in scottish lochs and rivers (a mix of trout and
pike) but can also use for a bit of spinning off the rocks nearby for sea
trout.

Can anyone recommend what would be a good, reasonably cheap, first time
purchase? I'm thinking I like the look of Shimano stuff and am seeing the
Catana 400RA going cheap on ebay. Would this and an 8' spinning rod be a
sensible purchase?

Thanks in advance for any help.
