What’s the best rod reel setup to use for both
the short answer is ---- which ever rig that’s hooked up! Long before all the gold colored & black plastic lever drag reels the Penn 6/0 & 9/0 reels with the black sides were the workhorses of the ocean. Rods have gotten very fancy but back when we wanted a rod that was stiff enough to put some pressure on a heavy fish. The best thing I can tell you is to make sure you set up each rig to handle a big fish and respect the proper drag settings and check them with an accurate scale.

I have caught more wahoo on black & red, purple, and cedar plugs rigged on wire
Anything around the size of TLD 25/30s or Tyrnos 30s are really all you need for 90% of the fish you will catch around here.
