New kayak fisherman

[scooter]

Just bought my first kayak and need suggestions on rod and reel. First one so "all around" as much as possible, say trolling out and then dropping a line for bass or halibut. Could be iron or bait, if that's possible.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

I really like the Daiwa Sealine as an all around reel, paired with any number of rods from a budget big5 rod to the higher end Calstar's/ Seeker's etc.

You will got a lot of varied responses here. One thing I can highly recommend is to talk to John (Fishaholic) and check out his gear for sale- top quality stuff in great condition:

^buy used and save $.
I am a big fan of the penn 500 as they can be found for dirt cheap and are easy to fix

I buy most of my reels from John....good prices and the equipment is in great condition. His brother Dave sells reels too.
