You don't need much for rockfishing. I like to use level wind reels. Its really dependent on how much you want to spend. I was using a cheap Penn Defiance combo I bought at Wally world a few years ago. I think I have an extra Penn combo at home its missing the spool tension control cover. Send me a PM, I will let it go cheap I also live in Orange near Handy Elementary

As far as line goes I have 40 lb braid and on my rigs I used 30lb mono. With braid you don't get the cable stretch you do with mono and you feel the bites a little better.

I'd do it if it was Sunday. I'm on-call Saturday so I can't get out and play to far from work
