You can buy a $20 trout combo and it will work all your life, Just a simple rod and reel most of them will work.
It's $35 at fishermans , After 7 years it still works, You can find other cheaper ones , it's not that hard to find a trout combo, light or medium light rods are great, and spool it with 4-6 lb line, buy a few small bobbers hooks and weights and a the most important part is the powerbait.
