Im 16, straight edge, and havent been fishing for a while. Fire School is more important. I have better terms to remember than this.
Just give me a good surf set up....
Nine ft Abu Garcia Bruiser is my rod, but the rigging seems like scrap metal.

Not so sure you can smoke it, needs a more direct route into the bloodstream. |

Here's what I would suggest:
Have your dad drive you to a nearby tackle shop tomorrow, and ask the guy behind to counter to show you how to set your gear up.
Have dad spend about $10 in there for the guy's time.  |

If the "rigging" you are talking about are the rings on the rod, and they look like scrap metal, the rod is probably not usable and will cut the line. Fixing it requires re-wrapping with new guides, although you might be able to scrape by by cleaning the corrosion off the inside surfaces of each ring with emery paper.

Are you fishing with clams for bait on a wire leader bait rig with a float to keep the crabs away? If a striper is hungry enough, they may bite that, but those wire leaders are for bluefish so they don't cut you off.
take Mike's advice and ask at a shop, the local places should be able to set you straight.
good luck

Google fish finder rig or Hi/low rig and that will tell you what you need to fish bait. practice tying your knots that is the most important part of your rig. hope this helps

Trialz - can be a tough crowd, but we need more and better info to help you. As was nailed in the thread, help by a local shop is a great way to find works in that neck of the woods.
Otherwise more info. Not sure if you are going coastal or not but it still is pretty early for that gig.
