You don't mention budget so for a cheap set up I would go with a Daiwa BG 5000 and Shimano Trevala S in Medium heavy. If budget is higher go with a Sargossa

I've been thinking about a more heavy duty rig for Mangrove, Cobia, and occasional vacation surf fishing.

Will probably go with

5000 or 6000 size Shimano Spinning
8' Heavy - Shimano Teramar or Falcon Coastal

The gear now is so lightweight, I'd step up to something you could also jig blackfin with. So a 7000 size reel and a 50-80lb jigging rod. If you're never gonna use it for that, then stepping down to the 5000-6000 size spinfisher and a 15-30lb inshore rod or 20-50lb jigging rod would be great.

Usually a calcutta 200 with 30lb power pro and a 7' heavy rod.

It's perfect for mangrove and has pulled a 6' shark next to the boat before.

Bass spinning set up with 35lb braid Carolina rig to 30lb floro with shrimp for bait. Catch 100times better at night.
