Help finding a rod

I'm trying to get a baitcasting rod (brand new to that reel type).

LSS I'm in a college apartment and don't have space so need a two piece rod. What brand or type would you recommend? Preferably white and under $120 if possible!

I have an inflatable kayak (aquaglide blackfoot 130) and an ugly stik spinning reel and rod combo. Typically used for largemouth bass in Alabama, but will branch out to stripers and other bass type fish. Want this rod and reel setup to be versatile as hell and more focused on durability than anything else. Also, literally any other advice on baitcasters is appreciated! Thank y'all!
