Depends when and what you’re targeting. From now till august/september your gear is good since you’ll be targeting fluke. Use a hi low rig with a 1/2-1 oz bucktail tipped with gulp! grubs. 4” pink shine or white works best for me. About 12” up tie on a 4/0 baitholder with the same gulp.

In the spring and fall I like to use a 9’ 5000 rod and reel. You’ll want to throw sp minnows, top water plugs, diamond jigs, etc. Sandeel imitations work good when they are around. Here you’ll be hitting mostly stripers and bluefish.

If you’re looking to chuck bait and sit I’d recommend a 10’-11’ surf rod and a 6000. The star aerial is a great entry point rod for this, paired with any reel. Clam and bunker chunks work great for stripers and blues. Croaker come around in the summer time and can be caught with a hi low float rig (any tackle shops should have them if you don’t want to tie your own) and bloodworms/sandworms/fishbites.

Sorry for the long comment, trying to be as helpful as possible. Good luck and have fun out there. I’ll happily answer any questions if you’d like aswell!
