Haveing fished both pier and from a boat I'll throw my 2cts in. For the trout and reds I think 10lb braid is all you'll need. Unless your going for larger fish, 20 lb braid should do for the other rod. I used the same bait as you will and had good success. You may want to think about useing a polamor line for the larger pound test as well. Bigger fish need a little stretch. Good luck on your trip.
