i wasn't saying to not by top dollar rods and reels. i'm just saying to buy what you are comfortable spending. my boat rods are mostly customs but I do also have a hodge podge Ugly Sticks, Offshore Anglers, shimanos & penn slammers.
A pogie is what we call bunker. and they get big, and you want to use a hook that can fit all the way down under the spine and back up and out the other side. or you can use a trebble.
I use pretty much exclusively bank sinkers on the boat, and have some 1 oz eggs as well. you will need over 6 oz in 40ft water with a strong current when fluking.
One point i will re-iterate, is that you will want/need to get multiple of the same setups. I try to have at least four of each. There will be a time this first summer when you bring out a few buddies bottom fishing, or chasing albies, and you will be happy you have the right gear so everybody can fish effectively.
