Do you fish from the surf or boat? If from the surf do you fish jetties, rocks or from the beach? And what species do you target then we can definatley give you some good advice. There are some real sharpies on here when it comes to tackle.
If you fish from the surf and your a beginner I would get a 9ft Tica spinning rod 12-30lb medium heavy with a Penn spin reel 5500ss. If from a boat get a 6.6 ft Tsunami classic series extra heavy conventional rod with a penn 109. Cant go wrong with either one and they wont kill you in the pocket.

Hi,
You live near a great tackle shop, Causeway Tackle. Visit them, ask them your questions and you will get all the answers. I am sure they will show you the different types of rods. Seeing is worth a zillion words.
When ready to make a purchase go back to them and support them so they are there when you need them.

I recently bought a boat. I have surf fish for years. i would like to get into more then stripers. Fluke, weak fish, togs.... just wondering really what makes a spinning rod a spinning rod and a conventional rod a conventional rod beside the label.

Hi,
A spinning rod uses a spin reel, open face spool and bigger guides.
A conventional rod uses a revolving spool reel and many small guides.
Your questions are good ones but not easy to answer in a couple of words.
Go to Causeway and ask your questions. Seeing is everything.

A spinning reel has an open face where the line comes off the spool with out the spool turning. It is easy to cast and operate.

The rod for it must have aguides that are lare enough for the line to come off the reel with it being chocked down.

A conventinoal reel has a revolving spool. The rod for this reel does not have to have such large guides because the line comes off in a straight line from the spool.
