Allow me to revive this horse and beat it once again.

Most have told me I started out with too much rod and reel, well I had the Curado 300E for salmon mooching, and I have the Vedder 10-20 now, what do you suppose the minimum should be for this set-up, I'm thinking 10-12 lb test, 1/2oz float with a 1/4 jig and a few split shots, or is that also too light?
