Athletic tape for your casting finger if you run braid

Small khale hooks if you target pompano (they have small mouths)

Hire a surf guide a couple times. That helps prevent too many mistakes as you start out. I wouldn’t tell him you live down there.

Look up how to tie your own pompano rigs. Most you buy in the store have hooks far too large

Medium/light or medium, however long you can find


Thanks my friend. Long time no see. Hope everything is going well at the company.

I ended up buying some inexpensive rods to get started. They had great reviews on Amazon. Worst case I will upgrade later and keep these as extras for friends and family that come down to visit.

I'm read about the tape on your casting finger. Good info.
