when i get my boat in shape, i plan on fishing the indian river inlet, surrounding bays, and offshore in Delaware.

I have been fishing all my life in freshwater here in PA and on the Finger Lakes in NY, but other that surf fishing and an occasional party boat, i have not had much saltwater experience.

what do you recommend for rod size (length, action, brand) and reels (brand and line weight) for catching inshore fish?

what gear do i need so i am prepared for most of what i will encounter out there?

i really have no brand loyalty .. looking for best bang for my buck. i would like to have several rods/reels for when i take friends/family out.

thanks for your input.
