For the Rod and Reel I would go with what JohnR said above.
I made the switch from fresh to salt awhile back and I personally fish just just spin reels.
However I used to fish with mono 20lb /25lb test but hated buying and relining the reel 2 sometimes 3 times a season. I made the switch to Braided line (Power Pro and Stren Super Braid)and ever since I have not gone back to using Mono except only as a Lead Line. Right now I have 50 lb braided line which is the equivelent of about 15lb Mono and doesn't have memory and because of the diameter and the no memory I cast a lot better and able to have more line on my reel. The best part is it last a good 2 seasons so even though it cost more its well worth it. For the lead I use Berkly Vanish which is a good mono. Hopes this helps and I myself just joined the other day so welcome.
