Marine General is running a sale on the HMG / President Combo for $99.
The rod retails for $99 so it is like getting a free $60 reel.
I got this combo from them last year and it is flat out awesome. It is my go to spinning setup.

These types of rods can be used for pier fishing, but a pier net is then mandatory. If you want to not use a pier net, and instead just deadlift the fish with the rod, then you'll need a durable rod that usually will be fiberglass or fiberglass/graphite composite (like an Ugly Stik). Pure graphite rods like to snap when they bend beyond 90 degrees.
The 7' Medium rod with 30 sized reel would be great for wading or boating through grass flats for inshore species. It could also do light surf fishing like throwing jigs for flounder around the sides of a pier.
For hardcore surf fishing, serious surf fishers like 11' graphite rods with 55 or larger reels. The surf shark guys use casting or trolling reels on shorter rods (often boat rods), but they rarely cast them. They take the hook and kayak it out hundreds of yards.
For a beginner's light surf fishing setup I would recommend going to Walmart and buying a $35 8' Shakespeare Alpha Bigwater combo in a 15-25lbs. line weight power. It will comfortably throw an ounce (and won't crack throwing 2oz.), and is surprisingly sensitive for a fiberglass rod. It is also a wonderful catfish rod. Fish the dinky reel it comes with until you are ready to move up, and then grab an Okuma ABF-40b.

For a beginner's beach fishing setup, I would recommend the $50 10' Alpha Bigwater setup in 15-30lbs. line power. I've thrown 4oz. a lot with it, but it did eventually get some stress cracks. The 12' is a stronger rod, but that's a lot for a beginner. It is still an amazing value to see if you like surf fishing before plunking $250+ dollars on a graphite rod.

The GX2 combo can be had on sale regularly for $30 for a rod and reel. The reel that is included is almost a freebie, and it isn't smooth but it's plenty durable to pull in some larger catfish. The GX2 is indestructible under normal use, and you can even abuse them deadlifting fish on to bridges and piers.
The GX2 combo, while not as refined, is way more versatile. I don't even like my GX2 much now that I have dozens of rods, but there is no arguing that if one rod had to do everything it's one of the better choices.

If there is no chance the reel will be dunked and the fish you target are <10lbs you could probably manage but certainly not ideal.
Penn Battle combo is better suited for that but this President is super light and smooth so superior for just about any freshwater fishing
It would work great for fishing a causeway or inlet.

I own the Okuma SST Trout and it is exceptional little rod for walking streams. I picked it up a few years ago for $29.27, but it isn't that cheap anymore.

A lot of times the 30 is just a deeper spool 25 weighing the exact same. This is not however true of these Pflueger President reels.
