[reel advice: luderick - alvey 475B not made anymore?]

hey everyone! I was walking through some local rocks recently and saw a guy pulling in a few luderick and am keen to give it a crack.
all week I've been obsessed about learning and reading about this style of fishing. 
I really had no idea that it was a totally new kettle of fish in terms of how you fish and it's really interesting to me.

so I've been reading many posts and have seen many rod options but for the reel, I did have my heart set on this alvey 475b that I was always reading about.
it seems that they don't make them anymore. . ?
could these 2 reels be the replacements? Alvey 47GZ and Alvey 47VN2X ?

I was actually hoping for the side cast option but was going to try and learn without it.

can I possibly get a few reel reccomendations ?

or if someone knows where I can even pick up a 475b ? a google search yielded no results for me

thanks

[please help a learner with boat rod choice]

i just wanted to go for something short and tough, something i can thrown a whole squid onto and go for a mulloway or decent kingfish.  
then i was thinking i could have my lighter rod for spinning a lure or popper etc.

would the rod/reel selection i chose be the wrong choice?

[How is everyone storing their soft plastics?]

i have z-mans, berkley powerbaits & berkley gulps all in a little Rogue Soft Plastics Wallet and never had an issue with any of them leaking out of their original packaging.

with the soft plastics wallet its like having them double bagged, so that is nice

hey everyone. i'm a learner fisherman, got into it a couple years ago and currently have my 2 beach rods. one for bait and one for lures, have my squidding setup and a also a light spin combo. im planning on hiring a small boat with a friend soon and realised i dont have anything suitable to catch a big fish, on a boat. i wouldn't want to take my 12ft beach rod and look like a tool haha.

so just wondering if i could have some guidance.
rod im looking at: DAIWA SALTIST X 56-5/6S
Length: 168 cm  (5'6") , Action Heavy , Taper Regular, Lure Weight 150 - 300g, Line Rating PE 5/6

reel im looking at: daiwa saltist nero 3000 or 4000

would this work? what reel size would be better out of those two?

also what pound braid and leader would i put on such a combo?

i already have a light spin combo so i want this as something i can throw a whole squid on and go for a decent size fish

 

thankyou so much for any help and guidance!!
