Is one better for fishing at local lakes for bass or trout?

I would say almost anything that would get you out on the water would be fine. Abu Garcia is a well known brand. The one you listed seems to be shorter, but includes 3 soft baits.
Walmart sucks at descriptions. It says 3 piece which I assume is rod, reel, and bait. That makes me think the rod is one piece. It doesn't say if it's light, medium, medium heavy or what the action is. My favorite rod so far is a light medium with fast action. It allows me to cast lighter bait further, and the fast action means the rod isn't limp as a dish rag. The way they upsell reels usually is the bearing count. 3 bearings are fine. More expensive reels will have 6 or seven. It's up to you what you find important in a rig, price, specs, or feel. Just from the limited info I would go with the cheaper longer rod, and then pick out my own bait.
