Lamiglas makes a rod called the Kenai special, that's a staple for a lot of the people who fish the Kenai. If you're fishing from the bank at a public access area, then you can expect to get your line crossed with at least a couple people should you catch a fish, so i'd recomend at least 25lb test from the shore. If you go with a guide, it's a lot easier for the both of you, and you don't have to worry about the equipment. The rod you mentioned and a matching reel should work great from the bank or boat for Silver and Reds.
