Why not try a cabo or boca Quatum 50 with a 9 foot St. Croix rod- Triumph series- and 20 pound test Ande backcountry mono. ADICE--- stay away from braided line no matter who tells you different. And, don't buy a shimano reel for the surf. They are not made for this type of fishing, even the more expensive ones. Believe me, I work at a tackle store and we have a reel repair dept. You would not believe the reels that come in for service and repair, I very rarely see Quatums. Also the aforementioned outfit won't break the bank. Finally, consider buying waders also if you want to surf fish correctly.Forget about conventional unless you have alot of money and patience.
