My bug gjust bought a 17.5 goot bowrider for saltwater. he told me to buy a boat rod if i want and get it filled with line and your own lures to troll for stripers in the merrimack river or off the coast of massachusetts and and or new hampshire. i wanna fish planr boards, umbrella rigs, deep divers, drifting live mackeral and eels, and maybe one day cod/haddock fish. i think im gonna but a: PENN GTO LEVEL WINDER w/ CABELAS DEPTHMASTER II. If this rod works for all the desired uses i said above. how do i set the rod up. what do i need to buy. i bought the rod and have 50 bucks left. its only one rod. what line, lures, and other ccesories do i buy?/

well....thats alot of questions..i fish this area alot others on this board fish it even more then i do and its all gonna depend on the type of fishing you do??? chunck bait , livelining, eels,casting plugs, trolling. All are different and all have different gear...yours will work better with some and not so good with others. My favorite is live macs by day and live eels by night.
for line i would use 25-50lb braid (again depends on the type of fishing method) and a 18-48" floro leader.
