Looking for some advice

[1 Slow Z]

Some guys at work have been talking about taking their boats out and doing some inshore fishing. I would love to join them but don't have any fishing gear. I haven't fished seriously since I was probably 16 and am looking to get back into it. I would like to by a rig for the occasional inshore saltwater fishing trip, but have no clue what's good anymore. I know Shamano reels were good back in the day but can't remember what rods I used. I would like to try and get a mid level rod-n-reel combo for under $150 if that's possible? Any inputs would be appreciated and thanks a lot!
