Rod and reel recommendations

[Jimmyz123]

I have a bunch of Rod and reel setups here at the house but not sure if they would work as well for a Yak. That being said what types of reels and rods should or do you recommend that I use?

Thanks

I started with the Dawia Sealine X reels and Ugly Stik rods and still use it. I landed my first thresher shark with this set up. I feel it's a great set up for La Jolla.

Aquahunter, what size Sealine and what did you spool it with?

I have the 30 and the 40. The 30 is spooled with 50 lb Spectra with 40 lbs topshot and the 40 is spooled with 65 lbs spectra with 80 lbs florucarbon topshot.

I have:
2 - 6'6" mh rods rated at 20 - 40 line class
3 - 7' H rods rated at 30 to 50 line class
2 - Jigmasters
1 - conventional reel rated high speed 6.0:1
1 - Conventional reel rated 5.0:1
1 - Conventional reel rated 4.0:1

I left out my bay fishing setups and my big trolling rods, what I have listed is what I currently have to choose from. I can already see where I may need some upgrades.
