For surf combo , best set up for the money is an AllStar 1265 with an Abu 6500 levelwing reel. I like the BG6500CL but the less expensive C3 is almost as good and and lot less money.
For a spinner , best for the money would be the same Allstar 1265 built spinner with I guess a Penn z or PennSS.
Money no object , Lami Arra XRA 1204 or 1205 (depending on lure weight range) built spinner or conventional. Conventional reel I would go The Calcutta 400 on the 1204 and an Abu BG 7000Cl on the 1205 (I have both those reels and the Arra 1205 myself). Spinner , I'd go VS. Money almost no object , Shimano sustain spinner .
We could talk heavers or canal rods , etc but for surf outfits , that's what I'd get.
I'm not knowledgeable enough about fly fishing to comment there. Go ask Mike F at Flyfishsaltwaters.com for a good answere about fly fishing the surf.
