I'd go with a 20 plus line, a 4-6 aught hook, tie a runner line about 6 inches and then a 3-4 ounce weight to the bottom of the line. Then go up your line about a foot and not a loop on the line and then from that loop tie on your runner line. Then with the line tied like that it will allow your weight to fix itself at the bottom and allow your bait to float around as the surf moves. It is better to do this...(cheep way)....than go out and spend a pile of money on lures and rigs and find out that you may or may not like this type of fishing. man i hope that you really do enjoy it. fishing for some is more than a sport it is a way of life and i hope you pick it up and run with it. enjoy your fishing trip. good luck good fishing be safe and remember to share the experience.
