What size rod, reel, line, and lure do you prefer for bonito? I'm kinda new to pier fishin'.

I use a stradic 2500 with 10# braid. I would say go with a 3000 or 4000, because I've almost been spooled a lot of times on the 2500.

For lures, you can't beat a small white bucktail jig reeled as fast as possible.
