Hello my name is Fuzzy,

I hope you are having a nice day. I am new to surf fishing. I plan on going surf fishing in New Jersey this summer to be more specific Island Beach State Park.

I plan on buy this:

I plan on strictly fishing on the beach. I want to just cast my line and set my rod on a sand spike. I do not want to be jigging or anything. So my four questions are:

1. Is a 10 foot rod appropriate for surf fishing?

2. Is a medium, heavy action rod an ideal action for a surf fishing rod?

3. What lb and kind of line do I need for a 10 foot, medium heavy action rod?

4. Any other things I should know about surf fishing?

Thank you and happy fishing! [fishon]
