I'll try to take pictures tomorrow of my equipment and setup.
Like Ofish mentioned, equipment and setup are all personal choice. You ask 100 people what brand, type, design and you will probably get 100 different answers. So I hope what is mentioned gets you some ideas to try. Give each one a try and see which you are comfortable with. Most people I've trained on jobs at work I always told them, what's easy for me may not be easy for you.
When I go to fish at night, I have a spot I want to fish and when I find my point of interest, a brushpile or drop-off, I'll throw a marker bouy off the back of the boat so I know exactly where to anchor. I'll usually back off the bouy a couple feet so it won't get caught up in anything. Once I had an anchor get loose and the bouy string ended up wrapped around the prop and it wasn't easy but I finally straightened it out. The bouy also will let me know if an anchor has got loose. I always use 2 anchors in case one gets loose or doesn't set good, I can still be where I'd like to be. I use LED work lights mounted to an aluminum pipe 6 ft long. I do some welding and have made some of the items for my setup as you will see in my pictures. I like to use telescoping rods 10 and 12 ft long mostly for the ease of transporting but also I can gauge line depth better. I use corks on a couple lines but that's mostly for my entertainment! As far as tackle I just use a split shot and a hook. I know some guys who simply drift at night, bumping the trolling motor on and off and that can work but it can be a handful at times.
