Hey Guys,after the scumbags helped themselves to my gear a while back,I'm looking at getting myself setup again with a reasonable landbased set for beach and rock use.
I'm thinking a 14 ft rod and reel to suit,10-15kg.$300 - $400 range? 
Been living the life of a land lubber for the last few years and after having a bit of a look online I realized none of the gear I see listed is familiar so I thought I'd ask the oracle.
I'm looking for suggestions as to what may be a suitable new set to look at or maybe someone here has something they no longer use that may suit me.
Not to hung up on brand

What say you?
