Like said...you have what you need
Well then go big and buy a Waterloo rod and a shimano chronarch reel spooled w braid. Perfect for wading and top water.

If you want a light spinning rig then a Shimano Sustain 3000 with a Loomis Greenwater M/H 6 1/2 is super light. Spooled with Finns Windtamer 6lb dia 20lb test and you can fish all day and cast a mile. I use Seaguar or Berkleys Vanish 20 or 30lb fluorocarbon shock leader using a uni to uni knot.
I you haven't used braid before there is a learning curve. Make sure you spool it SUPER tight. It's OK to cut a 150 yard pack in half and put on 75 yards with backing. And, try to close the bail manually and look down at the spool to make sure there is not a loop of line over the bail.
Now, if you're headed to Venice to catch 50, 15-35 pound redfish you gonna need to bring at least a 6000 reel.
