are you planning to run them off boards or flatline them?? if your running them off big boards then the same rods your using should be fine. but if your using inline boards or flatlining them then your going to need a stiffer rod.

as for line i reccomend atleast 30 lb braid for any type of diver fishing with divers that trip. it just makes it so much better to trip the divers. the first time i seen divers used i was on a charter boat. he used 65 lb braid. so when i started doing it myself i wanted to match what he did as best as i could. so i use 65 lb braid for my main line. then i use a 20 lb seaguar floro leader.
