As mentioned by another user multiple rods would be ideal for what you want, but I understand wanting a universal kit.

Ugly Sticks are super popular and can be found anywhere. This specific rig is a little large for freshwater IMO but there are many more options available.
Line: Anywhere from 10lb to 20lb mono will work depending on what species you are targeting but a 12lb would be able to land much heavier fish, just not from a pier.
bait holder hooks https://www.amazon.com/Baitholder-500pcs-Freshwater-Fishhook-Fishing/dp/B00CK5RIN0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1473787160&sr=8-3&keywords=bait+holder+hook this will get you most species with this style of hook but you don’t need as many as that kit offers. Having a variety of hooks is useful for species with weird mouths or for certain methods of fishing.
Lures: Spinners, and spoons are amazing for almost anything that swims, but jigs like mister twisters and beetle spins can be good too. I wouldn’t spend a lot of money on crank baits and stick baits, personally I have never caught much on them. I also like soft baits, but those often need special jigs and hooks for them.
I am not super familiar with fishing saltwater but, I know the water itself can be bad for the gear so you have to spend time cleaning afterwards. A lot of fishing is experimentation with what works for you.
