what would be a good surf rod to put a PENN Surfmaster 200 on?
i want to put it on a 10' or 12' i'm just not sure what brand
also should i leave my 20# mono on it or should i switch to 17#
I will be using it for redfish, small sharks, and anything else in the surf that wants to bight.
any help will be great
tight lines and God bless <>< <>< <><

why the long pole???? I catch all the above fished u mentioned from 40lb to 300 lb on a 7 ft rod cost me about $35. You dont have to cast 1/2 a mile , the dam fish swim under the pier all the time ..Just a short cast 15- 20 ft and set back and wait for line to take off..

I am not a real big fan of fishing the pier i do it sometimes but its not my favorite type of fishing. i have a 6'6" rod that would be perfect for the pier but I also want a good surf rod so that I can cast a good distance into the surf, if i had a yak I could paddle my bait out but i don't so I need to have something long enought to get me some distance.

I like my tsunami 10 foot. Good rod for about 100$ or so, Ebay will have them, as will alot of tackle shops(academy USED to carry them, don't know about now.)
