Silk, It would help to know what kind of surf fishing you think you'd like to do. As John R said, 8' rod would be normal, but Montauk or the Outer Banks, NC (OBX) may take more stick. Likewise, if you are a converted sweetwater, largemouth fisherman, a conventional outfit along the lines of a squidder or ABU might be better. Talk to us and maybe someone can point you toward tackle in the right price range that will produce for your kind of fishing.
