First off before you get in a kayak go to captainkayak.com and get lessons. As far as kayak you should probably get a pelican but ask your guide. For reel you should go with a penn slammer 760 with a 20 pound fireline under and a 50lbs braid over. And as far a rod as your guide about that because im not sure what length you should get. Hope i helped. Ask me if you need anything.

Thanks that was a big help to me. Does the color of the line matter, and how do u spool the braid and mono ratio.

As far as line stick with green(braid). When you go get the line normally they can spool it up for you(no charge), if they dont theyll tell you a place that does. BTW if your serious about kayak fishing GET LESSONS FROM CAPTAIN KAYAK, you will not be able to do it without his help.
