jackson515 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 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!

RustySwivel Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Cant go wrong with a Penn Prevail-surf casting, $80-$100 on Tackle Direct, different lengths as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

sbcbmx112 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Star stellar surf or star stellar lite would both be excellent choices in that price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaD0ughB0y Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Lots of good suggestions, but I'd strongly suggest looking at the BST forum right here. I've picked up some VERY nice rods for quite reasonable prices Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurp66 Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 A quality used one is better than a cheap new one. I recently picked up a mint FSC1087 for $200 hystyk1921 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bdowning Posted May 13, 2019 Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Tsunami Airwaves are worth a look, but the Airwave Elite is above your price range. Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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....
