Spare Spool

What's an ideal beginner's set up for going after smaller coarse fish (roach, rudd and dace)?
I'm new to fishing, and have taken a couple of trips to a local lake (UK) to go after the smaller carp and tench. I have the bare minimum of kit but want to get more.
I wouldn't mind going after the smaller coarse fish, as I've been told the whole process of rigging up, catching and landing them is more beginner- friendly than the bigger carp, barbel or pike etc. Apparently they're also good sport when you use light gear?
What should I look towards getting in terms of kit? I have a Shakespeare reel with a spare spool, so I was thinking maybe 4 lb mainline (a friend has a bulk spool) to a 2 lb hook length and around a size 14 hook? I take it maggots would be the right bait, and what about the right rod? I presume a very light spinning-style rod might suit?
Any help welcome- as I say I am a complete novice, so please feel right to advise and put me right if need be!
Note: Sorry, I realise now that I didn't mean a spinning rod- my mistake.
not a spinning rod thats for obviously spinning for pike /perch
i would use 12-13ft match rod the line you mentioned but maybe an 18 hook for maggots
