Yeah, how about Julie, eh?
Hey, don't sweat getting all kinds of blue water stuff for your #3. A #3 is about the barest minimum I'd consider using out in the clear water, but for cruising around the fringes and into the kelp, you got dakine gun! A simple 5/16" threaded shaft with a cheapo JBL twin barb detachable, three 9/16 bands and a float line to help you find your rig after the inevitable ditch and you be sooooo smooth.

Down the road, yeah you can look at more gun that gets used less.
Get a few of the thong clad locals to heat up the Weber and gimme a call!
