South of New England?
50's with 600 yds of 80 or 130lb braid backing (specrta, hollow etc) w/ 60 or 80lb mono topshots (150yd) will get you through a lot of fish.
Lots of decent rods in the 30-80 range that are affordable...
Coxes/inshore bft, 30's are fine, for light sharking and such as well, but nearer the edge, leave the toy sticks at home.
80's and 130's are overkill for 99% of the fish you'll hook.
trolling the usual stuff, chains, green machines, and lots of spreader bars!
