I am new to surf fishing and I need help please! - FUZZYSEO - 05-15-2013
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]
