I like to use a citica or something similar spooled with 30 or 50 lb braid for casting to tripletail, ling, and working weedlines. Shimano TLD 25 is a good all around trolling and dropping reel. Ugly stick big water boat rods make some good fairly cheap rods. For mangroves you will need some 20-40 lb fluoro leaders with a hook you can completely hide in your chunk of bait.
