7 The Best Surf Fishing Rods

Just got back from a week-long trip to the gulf coast, nine feet four piece and it performed great. We were throwing a three ounce weight and this rod would really launch it still had enough sensitivity even for the smaller fish, took this rod down to the gulf and was doing some shore fishing off a break wall. This thing held up, I put it through a few paces, catching multiple, smaller bonnet head sharks, 510 lbs, some smaller golf fishing. To my astonishment, a relatively large cow nose, stingray the ray was the toughest to pull in because of the weight and the surface area water resistance.

The rod had no problem pulling it in, and I have yet to experience. Even the slightest issue I was using. A very cheap spinner reel will update if anything changes, but so far, so good. This thing is a bargain. I’m not sure what the other folks problem is within breaking after a couple of casts or a couple of days. I’ve used this surf rod for the past 10 days in south carolina, and it has brought in fish red drum black drum pompano, whiting and even pinfish. I am amazed at how sensitive this rod is.

It picks up on the tiniest tap tap tap and it holds up in my rod holder when a drum great fighting fish doubles it over. No braking no cracking, it works like a dream and it packs up easily, so it fits in the back of a mini cooper. The only downside I found about this purchase is the nylon carry case. It comes in not durable, doesn’t protect the rod which most likely explains the reviews about it breaking and it’s already fraying it’s okay, though I don’t fish with the nylon sleeve, so meh I was a little hesitant, but boy am I glad I bought this rod, so you.

Today, I’m here with world-famous land-based angle, Dennis for a and we’re doing the Goliath Grouper spinning a real challenge. He’s scared a little scared, yeah you’re not used to raw fish going straight down, you’re more, like you want them going straight out. Right, yes and normally I can’t handle bites. That’s why the land base fishing. It’s gonna be interesting in many ways it’s gonna be a challenge.

It might pick a rod or -. What do you think? Probably you’ll see gonna be a pen. Not only is this the Goliath Grouper spinning real challenge, but we also, if you look behind us, are going to be fighting the weather all day. So this is gonna, be it’s gonna be a tough day. They said 20 percent chance of right. Now we got like 100 percent chance. We’ve got a run away from it 20% chance, maybe that you got struck by lightning.

We got away from the storms we’re now at our spot. We’re gonna first fish for benitez, try to get some fresh bait and then we’re gonna fish with the glass or the spinning reels. Sorry, Chum er right here so we’re gonna, get the fish on the boat, put a big old, false albacore, a que Bonita, as we call him here in Florida and the line and let him let his juices go behind the boat and put the fish around I’m gonna use the shamanic old sniper jig try to catch some fresh Benitez and what I like to do is just cast them out.

You know good good ways and real fast. This thing really works. I’ve got a lot of different fish on it. Mahi Bonita is king fish tuna. Everything swinging pretty good right now. We’re waiting for the storm to pass by it’s hopping around for next 40 minutes. Good thing, I got these fog dogs gotta stay dry out. Here you get cold. It’s right here! You bring your clue right there. Oh my gosh dude, oh my gosh Oh guys are fired up, can’t keep this Bonita in the water.

This is gonna happen. So fast, I’m gonna go first Dennis I’m fired up and just saw me best thing of saying. Today there we go where’s the best place to hold you right hands. No yeah I, don’t know if I need your help. I’ll call you about tides, the drug just said it: it’s not too bad. Alright, hey you ready, ready! You wash guys I’m nervous! Oh here we go all right.

Oh he’s gone, I need the boat which what I push off push it out. Are you on the reef? I can feel it. Can you took me in the wreck? Well, you get him. You get him paneled school hand on the spool that it doesn’t slip. Won’t even pump up in the wreck. He’s fully stuck it’s gonna snap.

In a second dude he’s, not me, we can’t move on bro he’s in the structure. It’s over. That’s over I would have expected to the bride to be going by now. I, don’t think the braids in the structure. Yet if the fish wasn’t in the bottom right now, would it be at this Harbor we’re literally pulling up pulling on earth right now? The wrecks over here the fish took me underneath the boat and the raw was bending underneath the boat.

It was a no-win situation. We got a I went on the wrong to the boat. You know, I thought I thought it was the right side and I screwed up if we’re gonna fight fish. From now on, we gotta fight him on this side of the boat, no more on that that was horrible. That could have been really bad strong fishing line right there I’ll get the mono back, the braid was never even in there dude. He was literally wedged in a rock where the hook with the hook was.

The hook was stuck I need on flex, guys the glass sugar coming right up here, yeah no I mean no more nervous. After seeing that thing coming up there, you go you ready, yeah! Oh here we go, but are you going on your trips, not wrapped everything’s good? Oh my gosh, oh my gosh giant, dude giant giant bro. Already thought that one’s gonna break dude, we couldn’t stop them. Oh, we are over 2 right now on Goliath, there’s a family to press on that thing.

They love pressure man. Let’s try it on right. It’s my turn now holding up good dude here, I’m gonna do a push up right now, just to get in the mood here, some push-ups. No there we go 3 piss your energy, a little bit boys a little bit of energy, get the blood going all right round, two guys I’m, still tired from the last one can’t stop fishing, though guys you got to keep going big waves bait, big fish, wait, wait, I’m, sure my deck, oh gosh, I like try and tease them up there, yeah I’ll hit that round.

Did he just come? I’ll go kala kalah! We get that one yeah. Take it easy. Take it easy these coming! It’s coming! Take it easy! Come the leader yeah, the leader, heavily hold it hey. Bro hold arms gave out on me, like I physically, couldn’t hold the rod anymore Denis cases.

There’s are not easy fish to catch by yourself, yeah, guys, I’m! So tired. Oh my gosh, two men job there was there was no way. I can do that by myself, and you know what yeah something you can say: I never cut the fish with Denis help me, but you know what I say to that. We both caught the fish sisters, kicked my butt ruined me. Absolutely ruined me. You’re free, get away from there. Bro I would have had to just let him go into the wreck and break me off.

There was my arm cramped up like on an 80 wide. That’s I can do those all day long on spinning, tackle I, don’t know how many of us can do in one day, Rob I’m going yeah I think we think I’m 90 minute break intervals. Yeah um I need your help. You ready to go right now, no I want to eat something. First, these Goliath groupers are going into a wreck down there and they’re trying to break us off.

That’s why we’re fishing such heavy drag. You can’t loose. If you loosen the drag, the fish breaks you off every single time. You have to stop them with heavy heavy drag. That’s the only way, mr big bed Dennis is about to meet his match. Last time, I was a little bit nervous and I grabbed Dennis schools. I thought the fish was gonna break us off in the wreck, this time, gonna let them be, and when he screams and ask for help, then I’ll help him there.

You, okay, yeah they’re, gonna smoke me too hahaha. Oh yeah, here we go more, drag bro break you off need help he’s in the wreck, he’s in the boat. Soon, oh you’re, doing a good job dude. You were ready for that one! Oh you got him bro. We beat them. Inspire me right now. This is all my hope. Let me know what need help. Yeah buddy he’s pulling two real ready, yeah, real, real, real, real, real, come on real real good I, see color.

Okay, we gotta do come on. You did better! Oh, oh man, the thing is I’m fighting it on a seven foot: five and you had your little short stroke. Er yeah, oh I thought I can make about myself, but I nearly hit that round. I didn’t just didn’t want to break that rod. It’s not did you cramp up. I didn’t want to call for help, not not at all what I had to yeah I think people have no idea how hard they fight even that little guy there.

Oh man I mean different story. If you can, let him run, but if you got got to have to maybe we had like what five minutes to stop him: yeah, crazy man, I mean crams or yeah. You get all the booze I hope so, but probably not dude. After my fish, my whole arm just went numb dude like I mean I can come yeah Oh Mike need another half an hour break and then we might go for another. One I hid a camera man.

Are you on the Berkley big gain power series bride? It is a six foot. Six medium heavy casting rod and I haven’t turned up cat Max real works, really good with the cat braixen wheels on it got good action on the tip and I’ve been happy with it. This rod is a little more expensive than the cat buster rod that I’m gonna have a video on every few can go on, so these are going to be a little more expensive than though these are going to be about the same prices.

We cap max series brought to Bass Pro, so all right, I’ll catch you later.

For the price you won’t beat this rod, throwing heavy five ounces jigs had no issues landing sharks over 50 pounds from the beach with this rod either. I trust this more than my two hundred dollars. Lamiglas rod, the bottom knob fell off, but a minor complaint for the price would highly recommend and will be buying another for this upcoming season. Great rod, love the colors and action allowed me to cast way over others and appear to bring in those croaker at solomon’s, island fishing, pier breaks down easy and packaged.

Well, I’m taking it to sandy point beach soon and test it out so yeah. I kinda didn’t expect much from this rod. 12 foot and was pretty sure, was gonna break first trip out boy was, I surprised. Definitely solid rod got a couple shulies, nothing huge. What surprised me was when I hooked either a rock or a stingray lol, not sure it wasn’t taking line, but man was eye-pulling. Think I was battling a boulder for a good 20 minutes. I was pulling this rod back as hard as I could.

I was bending the heck out of it. 4500 a were bg 60, braid and honestly, I thought odd was gonna snap, any minutes, but new ope held strong. I will definitely be buying another one will update if anything changes bought this two-piece 12-ft rod for surf fishing on the texas coast, specifically along galveston, island and padre island. I did a lot of research and finally settled on fibling 12 feet for 59 99. I compared it to her 12 feet.

I was almost tempted to buy a cabela’s 499 and glad I bought the fiblink used it. Last month in june, 2019 surf fishing on galveston island, throwing both artificial lures and cut bait with spider weights, fabulous, casting distance handled the four ounce spider weight and cut bait. Just fine, but probably pushed the limit slightly on the long cast ended up landing four shark about two one stroke. Two. Each this rod so far has proved to be an excellent value.
