For mission bay I use a spinning reel (pfleuger president size 35) and a 7'6" falcon HD in medium. This throws everything up to 1/2 oz great.($130 total)

For SD bay I use a lews tournament pro and a 13 fishing omen black at 7'3" medium heavy. This throws everything from 1/4 to 1 oz great. Lews makes an inshore series of reels that is better suited for the salt. ($290 total)

Everything rigged with 20lb power pro and an arms length of whatever leader material/test made it into my tackle bag. Works great for spotties/sandies/ and the occasional halibut.
