You'll get by but may want to graduate to more specific hardware for specific fish.
I really have no one target fish or stuff to chase it. Only thing is I do love Eagle Claw Granger Ocean rods, old style, one piece and very inexpensive. Compare different stuff. http://www.corefishingtackle.com/fishingrods.html

The MH sticks are perfect for Rock using artificials, live eels, or jigging.

I have gone to Shimano rods in the last few years. They are very affordable for the inshore bottom fishing and light to medium spinning gear. I think they are great rods for the $$. Another thought is many tackle shops have used tackle sales usually at the beginning and end of season. I don't know if you want to wait that long, but sometimes you can find some sweet deals.

I grab whatever I find on sale, I am just cheap that way.
Around the area, fishing is always good, it is the catching that seams to be a problem. Take a look at the thread for Delaware bay fishing, I posted a link to the reef guide. That will increase your chances. http://wellcraftv20.com/community/showthread.php?t=9874 Check this thread as well: http://wellcraftv20.com/community/showthread.php?t=9258 Another thing I have found is never believe the fishing report on line, one day the will be biting and within hours.... nothing. I even went on a headboat trip thinking "well these guys will know where they are biting, out of 30 people on the boat, 2 flounder but no keepers. So instead of fishing reports, ask locals.

Depends on how many setups you plan on buying.. If I had to choose 1 setup I think the best bang for your buck would be a 6'7 MH 12-25lb St. Croix Premier Road and a 500 or 600 Shimano Tekota.. Soft/light enough to have fun on 5lb fish, but tuff enough to land a inshore fish of your dreams.

I use a lot of my heavier freshwater gear for inshore saltwater. Makes it fun if you happen to hook into a monster.

you need some 130 class bent butt setups for the inshore stuff.
c'mon guys. . . . . . go to walmart and get 4 6.6 m-l action boat rods for $15. each. then go to capt harry's .com and get 4 penn 9m levelwind reels. then get a spool of ande pink in 15 lb class. then go fishing.
