You can go a lot smaller on your reel sizes than you would on a normal boat rod, but if you already have set ups for you to use on your boat they will work just fine. I tend to use shorter rods, 7' and under, although my surface iron rod is 8', being the one exception. As far as reels I use nothing bigger than a trinidad 16, almost all my reels are spectra backed with extremely short topshots of less than 15'. I tend to only take 4 rods, 1 sabiki/backup bait/plastics rod (tirnidad 14 on a 6'6 seeker american series 15-30) , iron rod (8' grafighter deckhand grip 20-40 with a torium 16), deep rig(6' seeker 20-40 american series)and a flyline rig(trinidad 16 or avet on a seeker black steel 20-40). I hope this is somewhat helpful, and this is just my personal preference and not in anyway "law", The smaller avets and daiwa (largest daiwa I have used is a sealine 40 for yo yoing) sealines are also really nice. But try some out or talk to your buddies!
