Good morning all,

I have been asked the following question by a fishing friend and thought maybe some of you on here might like to provide your expertise to help me answer it.

I am keen to purchase a surf casting rod and would appreciate any advice you could give me.I have looked at the okuma axeon 14-6 rod & the abu garcia veritas 14-6 rod.but I am open to suggestions. I have a shimano spheros 14000fb reel that belonged to my son if that will fit.Also which is better braid or nylon.
