If you can only afford one rod get a heavier one and don't worry about a rod for perch. You can easily catch perch with just a spool of line in your hand.
Then I would get a Med Hvy rod as this will handle every thing else (excep large Pike and Lakers). My favorite among those is AETOS™ ICE SPINNING
by FENWICK. Best value for a reel is the Pflueger® President® Spinning Reel IMHO. You can purchase a couple of extra spools for it and have different line on each spool then you'd be ready for just about anything.
If you have lots of Money then by a number of St Croix rods and Shimano Stradic CI4+ reels .
Good luck with your seaon
