How to organize terminal tackle for surf fishing? What do you reccommend?

I want to go surf fishing but have no experience. We have a rod and some hooks etc but were not sure how to tie the best lure/tackle for the given conditions. The beach is a surf beach which has all kinds of fish out in the deep and it has an inlet where sharks often go to feed on smaller fish.

What is the best surf fishing tackle?

I am going on a trip to St. Augustine, Florida in early August and was wandering what I should use.

I am fairly new to surf fishing. I was wanting to get a rod that wasn’t very expensive but would still do good for the surf and was looking for any pointers.

I also don’t know what tackle I should use. I have heard 3 oz pyramid with a couple snelled hooks using either shrimp or squid. Also a flourocarbon leader. What would be the best? And what should I use for the rest of my line?

What should I do? As much information as I can get would be extremely helpful especially on the rods and reels. Thank you very much.
