Literally have bought 8 of these and taking up a country mile on the beach setting these things out. I am not a paid reviewer but I fish a lot and these rods really are fantastic. Definitely check them out before everyone else gets on the wagon. Caught everything from pomp to black tips on these babys with an 8000 penn pair.Great surf rod.For the money I really don't know how you can beat them. These things are still just as good as the day I bought them and still crushing these florabama

10' conventional. This rod, though I only had a few practice casts out back with 3oz lead, is amazing. It is exactly the action I've been looking for for years, Rod quality/ price is excellent. Is it a gloomis? St croix avid? No. But I've spent 5 times the price on surf rods and have had issues. It's the nature of the beast. I added pictures that I'd want to see before buying online. Handle is long, thin, I'd say it's shrink tube over the blank. I'm undecided if I like it that skinny but easy and cheap enough to change. Better to skinny than too big. I'd liken the action to my 25 year old st croix Ben Dorr rod. It loads 3 ozs like a champ. With one of my abu garcia rockets I'll easily punch 100+ yards. A 3oz kastmaster would be amazing.. They need to make a 9' casting for my wife. I will buy more. Don't hesitate to give it a try.
