Similar to Greg, I use basically a single setup for everything. I call it el-cheapo fishing. Unlike some people on this site, I'm not in a position to spend several hundred dollars on multiple rod/reel setups.
Shimano AX4000 Reel. ($20.00)
FX-70MBH2 Rod. ($20.00)
It's light enough to cast all day, but has enough "size" to provide resistance to larger fishy foes.
I carry multiple spools with different lines for easy changes from one weight to another: 2lb mono, 8lb mono, 25lb mono, 40lb braid, 65lb braid.
This single rig has landed everything from 0.5lb Bluegill to 10lb Bonito to 30lb barracuda. I haven't landed sharks on this setup, but not because of the equipment... it's because I haven't mustered up the huevos to venture outside the bays. I haven't encountered any situation where I felt the equipment was not up to the task - just have to fight some fish longer than others.
