Hey y'all!

Just looking for some opinions from y'all.

I'm in the market for a new surf heaver (just adding to the lineup), preferably something in the 12' ball park, and needs to be able to throw at least 8oz.

I already have a 12' okuma longitude(3-8oz) which works great for throwing 6 or 8n bait and live finger mullet with my seagate 30
I also have a 12' Penn Prevail 4-10oz which is awesome for throwing 8n bait (including whole whiting, horse mullet, etc) when paired with my Seagate 50

I would not be opposed to buying another of either of these rods, but I am kinda looking towards getting another heavier rod.
and moving the sgt50H to the heavies, step the Sgt30h up to the next, and pairing my Slosh 30 with the Okuma.

I am wanting to keep the price point around $200 or less, so a few models have come to mind.

The Penn Battalion 12' 4-10oz or 6-12oz
The Penn Carnage II 12' 4-10oz or 6-12oz (upper limit of my budget)
The Tsunami Trophy 12' 6-10oz
(maybe) the new Offshore Angler Breakwater 4-10oz
(I would have loved to get my hands on an Ocean Master 12' heavy, but the lineup appears to have been discontinued)

Do any of y'all have any opinions on these rods or recommendations on other rods to look at?
Any and all info is greatly appreciated!

Thanks y'all! smile


Tight lines and God bless!

It has been several years and with my back issue I can't sling them anymore.
I did check some others folks and I received this message that may help.

Roy's in corpus has em


The web-site wasn't much help.
I'll pass along any updates but you might check with FTU as they know many surf dudes. walking
