Hey all,

I am looking for a surf rod between 8 and 9 feet that is good for throwing lighter lures in the 1/2-2.5 oz range. I am primarily looking to spend under $100, but would consider going up to the $150 range. The rod will be paired to a 4000 size penn battle. 

 

Thanks!

Cant go wrong with a Penn Prevail-surf casting, $80-$100 on Tackle Direct, different lengths as well.

They're not as stiff as some more expensive rods, correct. Ive been using a prevail heavily for 3 years, have no problems or issues with sensitivity. (the fish don't seem to have an opinion :cool:)

I fished the 3/4-3 oz model for a bit and it's not a bad rod. I actually prefer it over my Tiralejo for when the gators are around.

Tsunami Airwaves are worth a look, but the Airwave Elite is above your price range.

Airwaves are great rods for the price, don’t even need to get into the airwaves.

^^ I didnt even notice it didnt get censored, I guess anal is acceptable in SOL....
