Shimano citica and an allstar rod. Once you get comfortable with baitcast you wont want to go back. that'll run you $175ish.
There was a redfish tackle thread this morning. for specks i use single or double rig 1/4 jigheads with h&h plastics.
can't help you with freshwater.

well fishing is all about comfort. You want to be comfortable out there. Just go to your local tackle store and talk shop. Get whats comfortable to you and a few baits to get you started for your targeted species.
Your standard medium action rod should work well enough for most any application in salt or fresh.
Some good starter baits:
Salt:
1/4 ounce lead heads
pack of sand eels
pack of sparkle beetles
pack of cacahoes
gold spoon
Fresh: (not too sure)
pack of worms
spinner bait
crank bait
All baits mentioned above are your basic throw out and reel em/work em in.

dayuuuumn, son...that is a hell of a pile of fishing supplies...
I would recommend you spend half of that on a couple of good guided trips in the areas that you plan to fish...tell the guide what you are trying to do and he will talk you through all of the tackle, let you try all of his out, and show you a handful of fishing spots all in a morning or two...
then you can take a few hundy and buy what you want....
