The rod you have is fine with some 20lbs braid for jigging and flat trolling. If you are going to be pulling dipsy divers or pink lady’s you need a heavier rod with good back bone to stand up to the strain from the divers. Also a line counter reel is great to have as you can set your line out to the same spot every time. There are cheap rod/line counter reel combos out there that will work just fine. I used to use 20lbs Berkly big game on my diver rod because it was cheap and I never had a problem with it for lakers.
