Depends on what you want to spend. I prefer the heavy glass dipsy diver rods like they use for Great Lakes salmon out the sides and shorter,heavy glass rods out the back. Diawa 47lc's are nice reels if you put smoothy drags in them. Penn 310 Gti's work out the back for short lines where linecounters are not as important.

Okuma Catalina CT 25D linecounter reel, 7-9' fiberglass composite rod, 100# superbraid line, 4-5ft 100# hard mono leader, custom snap and your favorite big bait; one of these for each person.
