  1. If you like the size of the BG on both of those rods I would get the 6000. Penn series reels run a bit smaller than Daiwa. Both of the clashes hold plenty of 20-30 pound test, but look out for the weights, retrieve rate and spool size. The clash 5000 weighs about 17 ounces and has a much slower retrieve at 36 ipt. The 6000 weighs about 21 ounces and pulls 41 ipt. This is compared to the 48 ipt you're getting on the BG (which is more than enough for surf fishing in the northeast). The spool size is larger on the 6000 which might give you more distance when casting. As far as the drags, they are all more than capable. I've always tried to simply compare numbers to buy a reel but in the end the best way to do it is to fit them on your rods and see what you like best.
  2. Many people will only throw a Sebile magic swimmer at the canal. I wholeheartedly disagree. Had lots of success using them in places even with shallow slow moving water. I always have at least one in my bag wherever I go. I change up the size, sink rate, and color depending on where and when I’m fishing.
  3. IMO the 10’6” 1-6 legend or the 11’ 2-8 legend surf would suit you best. I feel as though the 10’6” is a bit more versatile, but it seems like the 11’ would fit your needs just as well. Also, since the canal is notorious for being tough on gear it pays to buy a rod with such a great warranty.
  4. I'd spend the extra on the 10'6" mojo. I've fished with both the triumph and the mojo. IMO the 10'6" mojo is the most versatile of the choices. Its a better made rod and you'll apppriactd the performace compared to a triumph.
  5. Fishing a state park two years ago all by myself. About a mile walk through the woods to get to the beach. As I began packing up around 2 am I could hear movement behind me in the woods. On my walk back I had the feeling I was being stalked. Finally after hearing a noise close I turn around and shine my light in the general direction. At first I see two sets of glowing eyes. The eyes take a few more steps towards me and I could make out two good sized bobcats. Guess I smelled like eel...
  6. My vote goes to the SP. Once July hit last year the surf fishing slowed down for a few weeks in buzzards bay. The bone SP was the only plug that produced. Myself and the guys I fish with were amazed. I stuck with the same plug for an entire weekend and pulled consistent 30+LB fish while the others were never touched. Could it have been a fluke? Who knows...Nonetheless IMO you should upgrade their stock hardware. Seen many battles lost to those hooks and split rings.
  7. Anxiously waiting to get my hands on one for albie season.
  8. Spoke to a couple reputable tackle shops about any issues coming back with the VRs (Red Top Sporting Goods in Bourne MA, and The Surfcaster in Shelton CT). They both reported some issues with the anti reverse and a few cases of early water intrusion. That being said, they both stated that the majority of people fishing them love them. I had a VR but ended up selling it and bought a VSX. In hindsight I think the VR would have held up just fine (I never had an issue).
