Sinkers , 2 to 6 ounces (or more) in Pyramid or Breakaway style
Hooks , anywhere from 6/0 down to 5's or 6's - depending on what you want to catch. Some people like long shank gold hooks for some species. I like a size 1 hook for an
"all purpose" size.Swivels ,you'll probably want several different sizes with and without snaps. Nothing too big is necessary , I just can't remember the size of the last ones I bought. :) I think maybe size 6 or 7?
Something to make leaders/rigs. You'll want some 30-50 lb. Mono or fluorocarbon for a leader.
You might find something useful on one of my blogs.
Here's one called Surf Fishing for Beginners :
