There is nothing wrong with high end reels as Gambler said. If youβre on a budget look at Okuma Convector 30βs for less than half the price for divers and downrigging. Okuma GLT 9β rods are a decent choice for around $50 for divers and Okuma White Diamond 8β6ββ rods for the riggers are a good choice. Check out FishUSA.com, hard to beat
