Newb Fishing questions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Sorry that last post was a lot of exposition. I'm buying a kayak, gonna be using it for fishing , sticking to bays and lagoons till i get comfortable with both fishing and paddling, and then hopefully graduate to more open water stuff and find a buddy to take me out and show me the ropes.

Trying to get my head around all the gear. what are gòod reel brands/models, what sizes do you use for bay vs ocean, how are the different rod weights/actions affecting what they're for, etc.

Im not looking for a setup i.e. "what rod/reel combo and what line is good for catching YT at LJ" , more like what is the basic theory behind rod specs, reel specs and line types so i can go out and make an informed purchase.
