I haven't heard of Zebco in awhile. As far as reels I would recommend a light spinning reel. Shimano is good and depending on model can be inexpensive. I personally recommend spinning reels for float tubes.
Less fuss. For the more experienced fisherman that likes more of a challenge then conventional reels, but you better have level line on it.
As far as line for the bays I wouldn't go higher than 12lb. Also watch you hook size.
I saw some dude out in Anahiem Bay entrance using a heavy pole and line on a float tube and had something grab his line and tow him!
More than likely a shark of good size. He was being towed all over the place. I finally saw him cut his line.
So smaller hooks, light reel and medium line and you will still hopefully catch Halibut, Bass and maybe some perch.
