good advice here on gear. One more guys $0.02 can't hurt though right? [fishin]
I'd look at the 10 or 12' Ugly stick (heavy or mh) and the penn 330 or 340. You'll be out the door for about $200 which is hard to do with heavy gear like that and you'll be able to cast it and land any fish you hook. Well... stuff happens so I guess no one lands every fish they hook but you know what I mean.
as far as line, I use mono only. Berkley Big Game 50lb. True you can't use the same line forever, I usually respool mine 2-3 times a year cause I sturgeon fish year round but, if you just buy it off the bulk spool it's really cheap.
