IYou need a big reel that will hold at least 3000 yards of line. Braid is the way to go. A lot of people like 50 to 60 lb Power Pro now.
Rod has to be stout and able to cast the jigs to at least 4 and likely 5 OZ. There are many reels that fit this application and the Conventionals are generally less money than the high end spinners.

I can't think of many that will hold that much braid. ;-)
