I am an amateur to a degree. I got given a rod and reel and was taught
the
basics of fishing. I have no problem setting up a very basic rig and
catching fish however when it comes to the technical stuff I am poor. I
go
beach and pier fishing. The eye at the end of my rod is going and the
others are going green so I have decided to go nuts and over hall the lot.

What I need to know is for the :

1.1 Rod what material should it be made from
1.2 What should the casting weight be
1.3 Strength for pier fishing
1.4 Any thing else

2.1 Which reel should I get fixed or multi though I don't like the idea of
the birdnests multi's can give
2.2 Once decided on fixed or multi what else to look for

3.1 What tackle other than hooks, swivels and the 3 way swivels?
3.2 What weight of weight?

4 Is braided line the best and if not what else should I look for that
will
be strong but not stretch to much so I can tell whether I have a bite or
not.

I know its a lot but I don't want to waste money. I don't want cheap and
cheerful but not expensive rubbish that I don't really need.

Many thanks for your help guys and girls and keep fishing big fish just
leave some for me
