Beach Casting Rod & reel.

[Will the chippy]

Would suggest a 14ft rod and fixed spool loaded with 30lb fire line braid for the beach.

Have a look on eBay - some decent kit on there cheap - can’t really go wrong with Penn/Shakespeare.

Keep it simple at the end with a running boom, swivel, 4 foot of 20lb mono and hook.

If your spinning, 9ft Ugly Stick, light fixed spool, 20lb braid and one of these - promise you - the only bass lure you will even need.

Saucy. Looks like the only think that will lure is a middle aged housewife!

It’s honestly deadly - got a catalogue of double figure bass with them.

Given your lack of experience I would stick to a fixed spool reel, trying to beachcast with a free running multiplier will give you one bird's nest after another.
If you can find one, get a bomb mould and cast your own leads, way cheaper.

Or just use old worn out scrap spark plugs? As some were wont to do. But perhaps maybe not nowadays.

Or transit chrome door handles.

There’s loads of good second hand gear out there.If you’re not used to a multiplier then get a fixed spool with fast retrieve 15-20 lb line with 50lb shock leader (not always necessary but does save loosing some gear !) I’m on the south coast and summertime would usually use 4oz weights . But does depend on what and where you’re fishing

Okuma reels are very good starter reels ,Shakespeare do decent rods as do Penn .
If your on a budget any coastal angling shops will do starter kits as do your aldis and lidls .
Take a rod rest and a flask and get a tide table ,youl be amazed how quickly it can cut you off .
Stay safe tight lines.

Okuma do do some good reels, but If going cheap make sure not to get the reels wet. The cheaper ones aren’t sealed and are fine until some salt gets in then they are toast.
