welcome.
as ross said, some more information on budget, location, etc. would help. since you said korkers I'll assume you intent to fish on the rocks on the north shore (think Nahant to Rockport area).
for a rod, I would recommend something rated for 1-4 oz lures. My preference would be lami gsb series, either GSB 108 1M for GSB 120 1M for blanks or the equivalent in factory rods, surf and jetty series. If you do not want to spend that much to start out, take a look at tsunami or the lower end st. Croix or lamiglass rods. 9' or 10' is really personal preference. I would start with a 9' if you only want to get one for now.
reels will really depend on budget. if money is no object, Van Staal 200. If it is, shimano spheros is a good reel for the money at around $200. There are plenty of options in between. There are lower cost options but, in my experience, they will not hold up. Others may have good experiences with some cheaper reels.
for line, I like braid and would recommend 40 or 50 pound suffix with 40 or 50lb mono for leaders. If you prefer mono, quality mono in 17 to 20 lb should do it.
for terminal tackle, spro or krok barrel swivels and breakaway or similar clips.
lures for starting out: diawa SP minow, bomber a-salt, bomber long a, 7" and 9" sluggos on weighted swim bait hooks, gibbs needle fish, superstrike needlefish, superstrike darter, pencil poppers. Don't go crazy with colors. White or bone, yellow/white, black or black/purple would cover you 95% of the time, probably more.
Surfland in Plum Island and Tomo's in Salem would be good places to stop in to gear up and get pointed in the right direction. There are not many tackle shops left up this way.
