Here's what I would suggest with what you have.
Saltiga...30# with a jig rod...Use it as a light jig stick or bait stick
Calcutta...20# bait stick...Gotta have a 20# set-up. Go to most of the time.
Avet....40# for dropper loop, yo-yo, and heavy bait stick in case you need to muscle them in.
My suggestion....Get a smaller profile 20# reel. Tor14, Trini14. Whatever... and move the Calcutta to a 25# bait stick. You'll have all it covered. Then again, a nice 15# will always be handy for those local trips.
As for line.... I like Maxima for the inshore island stuff and P-line or Izor for the off shore stuff.

THanks for all the suggestions guys. Well this is what Im getting put on my reels tomorrow. It will be P-Line CXX blue or clear.
Daiwa Saltiga 30 = 30 lb jig stick
Calcutta 700TE = 20 lb bait stick
Avet LX 2speed = 40 lb dropperloop and yoyo
I also just converted my luna 253 and Okuma rod into my bighammer/lucanus rod. Straight spectra with a 15 lb flouro leader. This rod will be fun to use out at clemente or catalina i bet.
If I can afford a certain cumara rod im going to put a 2500 stradic mgfb on it with 20 lb spectra and fish yellowtail with it at the islands. Gonna see if shimano is worth its name.... I will make sure I post a detailed report on this when I get out. This will be fun so look out for that report in june or july.
THanks again for the suggestions...
