If you just want to give it a try and not tie up a lot of money initially go to Walmart and buy the Shakespere Contender. $29.00 and comes loaded with 12 pound test. That's how I started and then moved into Penn's after I was sure I was going to like it. The original reels are still what we use when we go surf fishing. Sand is tough on reels. Walmart also sells a surf rod and reel for $39 that looked decent last time I looked.
