I use my Electramate reel for bottom fishing and kite fishing. Load up your reel with 50lb powerpro and a mono topshot and you are ready to go. Electric reels tend to be expensive but the investment is worth the cost. I found a used 440Xp on ebay for less than half the cost of a new unit. Shop around and you can save yourself some money to spend on live baits.

We left the dock at 4:30am headed for the bank in search of bluefin tuna. The seas were cooperative for the hour ride across the bay. We were setting up the gear as the sun broke the horizon and we got our usual morning welcome as a huge humpback surfaced 50 feet port side while having his morning helping of sand eels. The conditions were perfect for the troll, no weeds in the water and just enough chop to disguise our offerings.
