Has anyone fished these rods? I am going to try out surf fishing, finally, this summer. The wife and kids are always wanting to take me to the beach but I get bored easily. So, with that being said, I am on the prowl for a surf combo.

Honestly, I like Tsunami, St. Croix Triumph, Ande, and even Penn Surf Rods. Indy, 12footer, Sharky, Baitrunner, these guys Surf Fish pletny and may know about that rod.

For the reel you get what you paid for. On the Rod, I was unaware that TFO was making surf rods, but if it's as good as there fly rods, you can't go wrong
Bragging may not bring happiness,
but no man having caught a large fish,
goes home through the alley.

| I got a TFO 7'3" rod from the same line as the surf rod you are talking about and love it so far. I did a little research on the surf rod, lots of stiper guys further north of us have been talking about them and seem to like them. The only negative comment I saw was that the tip wasn't sealed and would allow water to get into the rod. |

thanks guys. I may just try out a Penn rod with a Penn Fierce for a $100 first, just to see if surf fishing will for me.

You're not even in Charleston! I'm second in line. On second thought... I'm not in Charleston either...
Just kidding F&G, I've been looking at picking up two surf rods as well. I'm a big fan of Star Stellar Lites and looked at the 9 foot Surf rods and was pretty happy with what I saw. I like the Stars for the same reason people like TFOs, they make fishing rods, just fishing rods, only fishing rods, nothing more than fishing rods and they're (**() good at it. They may have been bought out by a big company but they're still pretty dang good rods.

Thanks Chris. I still have two Star rods from about 20 years ago that are , in my opinion, the best that Star ever put out. The have been great. i'll look into those.
