My most productive 60# setup was 300' on an Okuma Clarion 553. The stiffness of the copper takes some getting use to but to the guys already using stiff copper will not see much of a difference. Some big advantages are it ability to achieve depth with less line out and it get to its depth faster and holds it truer.
This article really puts it all out there. http://www.bloodruntackle.com/60lbcopper/
You could run wire on most any new diver rod without any issue. The problem is the tip guide creates friction and heat which weakens wire. It can be witnessed by the excessive curling of the wire. Installing a really tip will eliminate the majority of this issue. Is it absolutely necessary? No but it is certainly better with then without Sent from my C771 using Lake Ontario United mobile app

For Reels:
Okuma Catalina CT305Da
http://www.okumafishing.com/product/view/reels/linecounters/catalina would also be my top choice for divers
Another solid choice is the Okuma Cold Water CW-303D
http://www.okumafishing.com/product/view/reels/linecounters/cold-water
For Rods:
I have been happy using Okuma Classic Pro GLT rods. They also have a few sizes.

Another option is Okuma Blue Diamond Rods

I would always suggest using a twili tip. Not so much for the sake of the guides but to lessen the heat and friction wear of the wire.
True but There is a listing for mono. You must use the numbers as a starting point. current and speed are also things to consider. Use the chart for approximation of depth and adjust as needed. The important thing is duplication once you have success.
undeneath the chart is options for different line.
Wire 11", Wire 8"PP 3 oz, SpoonPP 4 oz., SpoonsMonoWire 4 oz, no ring spoon
Click on an option and it gives you a different chart
2-3 riggers is the norm for me. 4-8 flatlines off the boards. 2-3 Short cores. 2 Slide divers. usually never a need for more then 12 rods inside of 20 fow
