Help buying fishing equipment
Hi,I am going to buy a new fishing equipment, but I'm not an expert on the area, so I ask for help from everyone, expert or not
I fish most of the year inshore, at max 150 feet depths where the fishes rarely are bigger than 20 pounds, I mostly get fishes below the weight of 2 pounds. However, I want to fish on larger depths once in a while as well, 600 feet and be able to catch fish up to 60 lbs. I also want a combination which is ok for throwing from land (if you know what I mean, stand on the land and fish).
How strong fishing pole do I need for my purpose? Is 16-20 lbs enough, or do I need 20-30 lbs? Should I go for speedmaster or beastmaster?
When it comes to reel I am going to chose either:
Shimano TLD 20
Ambassadeur 7000I Linecounter Meter
or
Shimano Torium 20
(the price for those three is the same at my nearby store)
What's the different of those three, and how big fish can they handle?
Is it stupid to buy a shimano reel with large line capacity if you're only going to fish at max 600 feets so you wont get use for the large line capacity, will that make the reel worse or more slow or doesn't it matter?
And why do someone say it is better with a slow reel, isn't the point to get the fish up asap, and therefore the faster the better?
Very thankful for all answers

I think the Tld 20 would be a great choice.Put either 20# or 30# Momoi diamond line, this lines breaking strencth is 1.6 the stated # test, or you could use braid, with a top shot of mono for more capacity. We fished for Pacific sails(90# to 120#)
on Tld 25's in Costa Rica. You could not ask for a better reel.
