Daiwa Sealine 50H 20lb mono on fenwick pacificstik supreme7' 3/4oz-3oz 15-40lb

daiwa longcast X ag1305x  14lb shakespeare mono on a Quantum X Graphite 8'6" medium action spinning rod 1/8-1.5oz lures, 8-20lb line rating

That's what I've got in terms of my rods (except a few ultralight trout rods/fly rods) and reels at the moment. I'm just looking for a general assessment of: yes, this will get me through basically anything. Probably not ideal for everything (nothing is, right?) but I'll be able to do light tackle RF/jig sabikis as well as sand dabs, halibut, lings, and who knows, a salmon or wsb? Anything super important that I would need? I've got a 2' gaff and pliers/knives as well. Thanks guys.

Good setup to get you started in bay fishing.  You can taylor your needs from there based on what feels right or if you decide to target by species.

Thanks, that's basically what I'm looking for. Thought I had enough, but nice to know someone who knows their stuff said so too.
