They are not calling it a "SP Minnow surf rod". I don't see anything wrong with calling a SP rod as in Salt Pro. I think of SP or Salt Pro to be somewhat of a "line" of stuff geared toward SW fishing in general. At least that's my take on it.

I was at tackle direct the other day talking about this rod with the guys(I asked if there was going to be a casting model) they weren't sure but it seems like the rod will have a softer tip that will allow you to throw all the popular swimmers - Bombers, Red Fins, etc... I like all my Daiwa rods so this might be a good rod if priced right.

The 1 to 4 ounce rods were tested using a lot of different weights and lures. However they put most of the emphasis on the SP minnows when they tested and designed the rod. Hence the name. Daiwa (and other) manufactures often do rods and reels in 'series' like the Coastal rods and reel series or the new Shimano long cast surf series for example. In addition there is zero marketing for this rod from Daiwa so its sort of impossible to object to something that is not there. :)

 

Fact is it's a nice entry level to mid level rod that is not too expensive and has solid components. Could you do better for more money? Sure, but you can also do a hell of a lot worse at its price point.
