9 foot Surf rod rated up to 1oz?

[Fishy4335]

Are there any ultra light surf rods on the market like this?

Revised Lami 1083-2 is rated up to 1 1/2oz.  Super light surf rod.

Shimano Dialuna or Diawa Ladrax...I think they are both JDM.

With a rod like that, exactly what species are you targeting?

 

Wouldn't that be like fishing for a 15+ lb. pike on an ultra-light trout rod.

Perhaps a steelhead rod would meet your needs?  St. Croix makes several that might work for you

Look at Diawa’s SP Coastal. The rating is higher but it’s sweet spot is +/- 1oz. 

It will cast a bare TA clip a long way.

Daiwa Labrax 40% off on plat Japan, maybe a refresh coming.

The current gen Dialuna is very, very nice.

+1 with the steelhead rods

Okuma Rockaway medium is rated .5 to 1.5 I believe. Couple guys at the river here use them and like them.

We are testing 8'6" and 9' very light Black Hole rods 1/4 oz - 1 1/2 oz now.  The rods will be available in 2020, but the price will be around $200. Not cheap.

How much will the finished rods weigh? under 5oz?

Century Graphex. 9'6", feather light,  will throw 1/4 oz on up to 2oz. Extremely sensitive and low diameter.  Truly amazing rod. Completely built the rod weighs just over 5oz. Built with Textreme finish for extreme exterior durability.

Don't let the 2oz upper range scare you. It truly shines in the 1/4 to 1oz range.  The graphene gives the blank added strength to handle up to 2.
