Go to a any tackle shop and talk to them, have some ideas they will piece all your ideas and questions into a quality setup. I like an avet my self. MXJ or SX braid with a decent top shot on an 8ft termar. But that's just me, get some gear in your hands see what feels right.

That's what I did. Went to Squidco, told them how much I had to spend, what I was targeting and that I was fishing out of a kayak. They set me up in no time. Nothing like using local businesses and knowledgeable people in the business.

I've been to alot of tackle shops and I've checked out just about every setup there is. Those are the ones I've narrowed it down to. Just looking for more opinions pros and cons. I figure either way I'm gonna be dropping some coin. Just be as sure as possible its the right setup.
