Caught this guy today. Figured I’d share. Was right at 40” on the dot. I should have cleaned him off first, but I wanted to get him back in the water ASAP. Also, if anyone is local to South Carolina, do you happen to know what the schools of fish are that are running down the shore constantly hitting the top of the water? They’re constantly breaking the surface, but I can’t see what they are from shore. (Not the mullet)

So I currently have 3 Okuma Cedros CSX surf rods. Two 10’ and one 11’. I know they don’t get a ton of love or recognition, but I love them. Love the way they feel, cast, etc. and lifetime warranty is great. I pretty much just use cut bait or shrimp in the Myrtle Beach area. However, I wanted to buy another rod to either use for Cut bait OR Toss a spoon or something when I’m bored. I love the Okuma’s, but they discontinued them. I made the mistake of purchasing a St Croix Avid Surf 9’6 MH without seeing it in person, and it’s just way too beefy for me. I love that the Okuma is a little softer and more sensitive (insert necessary pun) you can actually feel what you’re fighting and know when something is biting. Is there something out there that may be similar to what I have? If anyone is familiar with the okuma cedros CSX that would be a bonus. Looking for something preferably under, but no longer than 10’ and a lure weight of up to 4 or 5 oz. Any recommendations?

I have a St Croix Avid Surf 9’6” Medium Heavy - Model # - VSS96MHF2 - surf rod for sale. I Bought this on an impulse because I always wanted one, but unfortunately it’s not gonna work for me. Simply not my preference or what I need at this time. Figured before I start a return on Monday I’d see if anyone here would like to purchase it over the weekend as I know there aren’t many around . Figured it couldn’t hurt. It cost me $350 to purchase. It would cost me shipping to return it, so I am willing to take $325 net to me. Local pickup only. Otherwise I might as well return it. Located in Northeast PA on the border of NY, NJ, and PA. Feel free to ask any questions you may have.

The Rod, Ninja Dagger, is a special carbon/glass blend and is super light weight for its 11’ size, so I wanted a lightweight reel. That’s why I went with the Ballistic LT. It weighs a total of 1lb 10oz together. For reference, my next lightest rod and smallest reel, Okuma Cedros CSX 10’ and Baitfeeder D 6000, weighs 1lb 15oz. It’s an extremely light setup for its size.

Insert jokes here.... All kidding aside, I purchased a Daiwa Ballistic LT 6000 for my 11’ surf rod. Compared to my Other reels, it looks so small. Holds the same amount of line as some, and even more than others. But it just seems so small in comparison. I haven’t actually gotten a chance to use it yet. Maybe I’m just being paranoid. Anyone have one? Is it just a design thing? Photo for reference
