Hey Ben, congrats on your first 15-day trip. All of the above tackle stores are good recomendations. Ive been fishing on the Rooster series of boats since 1975 and if I knew then what I know now I wouldn't buy ANYTHING for my first 15-day trip. Make some phone calls, see who is sponsoring the trip. You might find 50 bitchin Accurates all spectra'd up just for the asking. Assuming you have all your rods and reels together, then that's different. In that case you need some terminal gear. If you don't have your rods and reels together I'd go with nothing and use the boats tackle. Make sure you call them in advance, I'd ask to talk to Andy and let him tell you what to bring. That being said I swear you can go with nothing, have the crew rig you up, use thier trolling gear, kite outfit, hell that crew is so good they will even help you find that hot bait, hook him for you cast out all you have to do is show up and talk to them.
P.S. On the Rooster they like you to use ringed Super Mutu hooks. Call Guy at ringedhooks.com he will telll you the right hooks and won't steer you wrong, nice man and his wife is a sweetheart.
Good luck, Jeff
