Boat Rods

OK, so if you haven't heard we bought a boat this past fall. It is a 17 foot Smokercraft.

I am looking to get some "boat rods" and I figured some folks on this list could help me out. I am particularly interested in 2 different setups and I need advice on the rod, reel, line, hooks, lures, basically everything for...

1) A chunkin rod

2) A wireline jigging rod


With regard to the wireline setup, I am referring to whatever would be needed to fish in or near Boston Harbor. I mention this because I am used to jigging on sandy bottoms on the cape. It is my understanding that jigging around the harbor is a different matter entirely (don't make contact with botom) and requires a slightly? different setup.

Also, if you have rough estimates on what the cost should be, it would be helpful too.

Thanks,
Mike
