1) Dedicated Sabiki, though I'm souring on that a bit. mine only fits the tiny hooks with light line and I've been finding greenbacks don't really hole up in the kelp right now and Spanish are just *ok*. Per some really great advice on here, I've been more inclined to take the next rod I mention and tie on a much bigger sabiki with 40lb mainline and drag a flat fall/iron for weight on it.
2) Short, stout medium rod in case I run deep with a star drag and 50' of topshot mono. I can't be trusted to rock fish with flouro. Just a day of missed bites.
3) Medium-fast action rod with a baitcaster for shallower drops. Almost always tied with a 100-120gm flat fall.
4) Live Bait Rig. Lever Drag on a similar rod.

If I'm diving that day, I'll throw 3 and 4 in the hatch in case visibility is crap, or if I'm just looking to make a short day of it.
