Surf fishing gear advice (self.fishing)

Hey all looking for gear advice to get started surf fishing. I’m planning to target red drum and pompano along the Crystal Coast. I’m hoping to be able to get two rigs for under $400 if that’s not completely wishful thinking.

Speaking of rigs, I’m thinking I’ll want to use high/low or pompano rigs? Also open to suggestions on everything from hook size (I think maybe 4/0 for the drum and 2/0 for the pompano?) to main line.

I’m really starting from nothing here.

Thanks for any recommendations!

I know it’s not quite what you asked but answered another way I’d ideally like to hit the slot for reds (18-27” here in NC).

Just moved to the area(ish) so not really limiting myself to any particular time of year.
