Is the 6000 good for surf fishing? And what would be a decent, cheap rod to pair it with? Wouldn't mind trying surf fishing and maybe going out a few times a year.
What kind of fish are you targeting? For surf fishing you want to keep your reel as light as possible because you'll be casting quite frequently. A heavier reel will tire you out.
The real question is if you can catch a 30LB white sea bass…. I would go with the 6000 series reel at that point since the 4000 and 3000 will seriously suffer in conditions like that due to a lack of drag.

In that case I would personally say you need two reels… Drum in the surf tend to be a heavy fighter, but then you won't also be using a lure for drum in the surf so a 6000 reel should work for that. For lure action for the striper and bluefish a 4000 sized reel should work fine. For the price and quality ratio of these lures, you should get two even if you only need one. I got mine 6000 in today and it is definitely an upgrade compared to the earlier series.

Any rod recommendations to pair these with? I usually fish ponds and spillways out here and it seems silly to not enjoy the surf every now and then.

Well, for the 6000 to cast far enough in the surf to even get near Drum guys usually use 12 to 13ft long rods, but anything from the range of 10ft to 13ft should work but if you never had a surf rod 10ft or 11ft may be more manageable but you should do some research on that. (You will need to learn whole new casting techniques lol.) For the 4000 7ft to 8ft should probably be good for Bluefish, Spanish, and Striper. I cannot directly give you suggestions because I do not know your region nor your budget, but it would be a good idea to ask questions in the local fishing forms who have a good idea of your situation.

Are you just soaking bait for whatever might be out there?
If so, 6000 would be fine.
You could also go 4000, both will pair with a 8-10' rod with some 30# braid to throw bait with 1-4oz weight.
If your throwing lures, then 6000 would be too much imo. 4000 is fine.
I've caught some big fish on much smaller reels, it's not ideal, but the 6000 would likely be overkill for those. Yea, you could hook into a giant drum from the surf, but landing it would be more technique than the difference of having a 4000 vs 6000 sized reel.

It sounds like it should, and if it doesn't you will just have a good extra loaner or backup reel. For this price it is honestly 100% worth it.
