Thanks for the replies i was hoping to get away with a spinning outfit. i guess i will go with a 9ft. i am not familiar with the penn slammer reel ( just the rod ) i will look into it at the show but i do know about the z series. i was thinking the baitrunner because of the two drags and i use them on my boat and figured it would be easier for him to set the hook while bait fishing instead of dealing with tightening the drag while a fish is on. i wasn't sure if it was the desired reel surfcasting. As for the budget i am certainly not buying the guy a $500 reel but i am willing to spend some money on the outfit , maybe it will get him out on the coast and fishing new england. i have seen him big game fish but and i would like to see him get into striper fishing since he has moved up here.
