Don't know who makes them this year.  Last year they were Tsunami Trophy.

I bought the 10' in early 2016 for use as a backup.  Broke it at the butt a few months ago on the ditch (maybe because I used it as a walking stick in the rocks?).

 

Stopped in at their Wareham outlet store and got an immediate refund.

Is the 7 ft "Kennebec" from 5 or so years ago a Tsunami too?  The absolute perfect rod for pitching poppers at bass and I've had a few break this year due to stupidity.  I can't bring myself to return a rod that I broke, as opposed to one that "exploded" a few years back when I hung bottom...

Just purchased the new Surf Series in a 10’ at the Freeport Flagship. The blank is really beautiful for a rod at the price point. I believe $109 for the 10’ and of course the warantee. 

 

Spoke with the manager of fishing at Freeport and he said this new series is the product of a 25 year rod building project. 

 

Highly reccomend.

The new one is a daiwa sp rod. If tested at the ll bean store, it look and felt the same as the sp rod. 

Sure look identical to me.  Now if they'd only offer the 10' in the 2-6 oz range as well, I'd buy it.

What is the action on this rod? Does it lean fast or moderate? Thx!

I was eyeballing them and they look like a Daiwa Coastal Pro rod I have.

And with the lowrider guides I use it with a 5000/6000 size bait casting reel.

A darned good rod.

That LL Bean will be good too if it's the same
