WIRE WIRE WIRE.

The end eye will hold up for a while. When it starts to show wear, buy a twilli tip and replace the eye with that. Good to go.

braided line will collect ALOT of sea fleas when they show up.. braid is good during the early part of the season but after the fleas show up i put the braid away.. go with the wire.. wire puts fish in the boat!

As far as the rods themselves, the Heartlands are a very good rod at a relative inexpensive price. As far as line, no doubt, load up at "least" 1 with wire. The other you could "consider" mono .Reason being,when the targets are high in the water column esp steelies the mono dipsey setup can out shine the wire at times. As far as braid that would be my last option if in fact you are only going with 2. But if the budget allows for you to add a third, I'd still put on that reel an extra wire rig. Giving you 2 wire and 1 mono. Best of luck in whatever you decide. However if you go with the wire, make sure to replace the current rod tip with a twili tip.

Start with a 30# Stainless 7 Strand wire, a 9 to 10' dipsy diver rod with Twilly, most anglers will attest its the hottest presentation available over the course of a season !! A great "High-End" reel choice would be a Tekota 600 LC, most manufacturers model dipsy rods in their line-up.
