I just wanted to introduced myself to the forum and ask a few questions while I'm here

. I just recently bought a Cobra Marauder xf and I'm now in the search for a new reel and rod set up to go out off la jolla. I pretty new to ocean yak fishing, but have a lot of experience with bay fishing. So i would like to get opinions from you guys that are more exprieneced on what would be an ideal set up to fish for the calicos in the kelps to yellowtails or wsb. I've been looking into the Turner's California rods with the daiwa lexa 300 or the shimano 400b. I would like to keep my budget below 350 for the combo. Any advice or opinions would be appreciated! Oh and I'm currently prepping my kayak by building a live well and equipping it with a fish finder, so the rod and reel combo would complete my set up.
