The stuff you have is all you will need for Sand Bass and calico's and will serve you well for a twilight trip. If you get in to the baracuda good you may want to throw the iron or fish some heavier line to avoid getting chewed off but other than that you will be fine with what you have for twilight.

I think your good on the lower end of your tackle for now but on the heavier side I would recomend a reel that can handle 300 yards of 20- 25lb line. Ideally this reel would have enough line capacity to allow you to jump up to 30lb if you needed to. You can easily spend a good chunk of change for a reel like this but you don't have to. Regardless if you buy new or used, the Penn 500, or if you can find one the Penn 501 both offer great value, incredible strength that will last you for many years after most of the more expensive reels have become spare parts. I also recommend the Newell 332. When your out fishing on the boats take a look at the gear belonging to the captain and or crew of the boat. They rely on their equipment to perform for them almost everyday and I think you find most will be fishing old Penn's and Newells.

I realize everyone has hers or his prefference when it comes to tackle and if you could hold off for a few trips, maybe borrow a heavier outfit from a friend then you might be in a better position to decide what's best for you. I hope this helps.
