I go on one or two canyon trips each year. After the first year I bought a Penn 114H 6/0 reel and a Shimano standup tuna rod. (BTW I have yet to catch anything but a squid, but I find the trips are still pretty cool. Gets me out of the house.)
Your list is about what I bring. I bring more food and drinks than I need. Don't forget a camera (put it in a ziplock bag), sun screen and dark glasses. I also pack a waterproof top, a warm top and an extra pair of pants and socks. The first year I went I wasn't sure if I wasn't getting a little queasy so the next year I got my Dr to prescribe a Transderm Scop patch. Whether I do or do not get a little seasick after a while, who knows, but I put the patch on the night before and I haven't felt that way since. It's a shame to waste $300.00 to spend your trip bent over the rail chumming. The patch makes you a little thirsty, but it didn't have any other effects on me. I think they also let you bring a lighter rod and squid jigs incase they run into a school. I guess on what they're feeding on fresh squid runs neck and neck with butterfish.
