Another Big 5 rod question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I just got a $250 squidco gift certificate for Christmas and I plan on using it to buy an avet MXJ reel and I have been looking around for a good rod to match up with it. I swung by Big 5 today and noticed they were having a sale. I saw a few different rods that may work. That being said, I don't want to buy a piece of crap rod and put a nice new reel on it, but it would be nice to get a rod at an affordable price.

they had this model Seeker:

and they had a bunch of cheaper sabre brand rods.

I am looking to use this rod/reel combo for trolling live bait. any input on either that particular Seeker or any of the Sabre brand rods?
