11ft long rod or more. 15lb to 20lb braid, 15lb to 20lb leader
Paternoster rig, blue bait on one and surf popper on the other. 3-4 oz star sinker, depends on your rod and the water condition.

so, i have an Alvey rod and reel combo, I got 20 lb braid on the reel and 30-pound leader.

will that work? I bought some metal lures, took the trebles off, and replaced them with singles. I got some surf poppers as well, I put singles on some of them and left the trebles on the other poppers. I put some of those hooks with the cord you use for jigging on one of the metal lures so I can do some jigging at port Albert pier.

Sounds like you should do alright mate.
I love my surf fishing as well. Just recently got back from a trip and smashed the sambos!
Hope you get onto some chunky ones as well 😃
Cheers 👍🏻

i would have thought an alvey would be pretty difficult for lure casting in the surf, ok for bait fishing, but maybe i'm wrong?

I’ve found bait hard in the surf at times. I’ve always caught more salmon lures. Find a nice rock ledge with no snags and weed in front and have a crack
