Bring one lighter rig for calico bass but the rest will work.
Hi, my name is Lee and I have a fishing gear problem.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

I use my 7' #30 for rock cod, will that work for calico's as well or even lighter than that?

Someone more knowledgeable about calicos can answer better than me, I need to figure out what I'll bring for them too. 

I'm bringing a HXJ Raptor, a MX 2 speed a JX 2 speed and a pile of Penn reels on rods from 25 to 80.

Thanks Keta! I do have a lighter set up buried in the garage somewhere. Guess it's time to clean the garage.

I have fished for calicos for the last 35 years or more. I've caught a bunch and the overwhelming majority have been with a Mitchel 300 on a Fenwick 12 pound bass rod. It is essentially high vegetation large mouth bass fishing. I am bringing a Newelled Baymaster for live bait and a Sealine X20SHV for artificials. Both will have 20# mono on top of solid braid with a long floro leader if they are line shy.

i'm thinking of using my SX MXJ and BX-500N, all filled with straight mono, as light duty gear. is this good or too much?

Probably can't go wrong with a 12-20 pound rig for calicos. Mono should be fine with a 12 pound fluoro leader.

Would a spinner have any advantages over a real reel?

Could be real handy. I wouldn't go buy one just for the trip, but if I had one (which I do), I might bring it.

I won't second-guess alan, but he may start a "Tackle" board just to keep it all in one place as I'm sure it will be a hot topic.
