Rookie Surfcaster

Thanks for all the helpful advice!

I had a blast reading all the feeds!

I know I will be making a ton of mistakes, but mistakes will be my best mentors. Trial and error. I do a lot of kayak bass fishing and its time for a new challenge.

I will be targeting RI, ME, NH, and MA for stripers.
It will take me some time to learn and understand tides and currents.
I just picked up a 9 Ft St. Croix Trophy (no reel yet)
A surf bag, and as for lures (SP Minows, Savage Gear, Bombers, Gibbs Poppers, bucktails, sluggos and Sebile Magic Swimmers)

Along with Korkers, Waders, Rod and Lures I have spent $500 plus and I haven't even gone fishing!

What the DEUCE!!!

But I want to invest in quality gear that will last me years.

I know need a reel. everyone has been steering me towards penn battle.

I have taken trips to cape cod canal to observe anglers and their fishing etiquette. I even witness a few reel in monsters from 40-50 inches!

I want that adrenaline! Help me catch one guys!

hahahahahaha

Which is the equivalent of someone interested in becoming a pharmacist watch drug addicts shoot up.
Just sayin.

JMO but if I was just starting out I'd buy a Penn 704Z. Bullet proof, great in the surf, has caught more fish probably than all other reels combined and, most of all, easy to fix if it breaks.

Almost 50 years chasing stripers and I still have my original 704. The only things that breaks are the dog spring and the bail spring. You can eliminate one problem, the bail spring, by buying a bailess kit.
