Re: Surf Combo Recommendation
How do you get interstate? Car or plane? Because if you are flying I'd be looking at one of the many 9-10 foot travel rods which are 4-5 pieces and pack up into a suitcase.

I use a Shimano Raider Mexican Fire II 902 travel. It's a 4 piece and I've used it to throw metal slugs into the surf... Nice and light and a good action. Cost $100 on special with bag and case. Sits in the boot of my car

Re: Surf Combo Recommendation
Just thought i'd provide an update if anyone reads this looking for a similar kind of combo. I ended up going for 2 rods, a cheaper 12ft rod and a 10ft Wilson Blue Steel.The Wilson is an awesome rod and if you're looking for an inexpensive light surf rod, this is a nice option!

Re: Surf Combo Recommendation
I Broke the tip on my Wilson light surf rod, I was adjusting the reel drag at the time and it snapped 12 inches in from the top, BCF refunded my purchase so I ended up buying a Starlo Classix 10'6" surf rod, the Wilson tip is very fine so as long you are aware of it you should be ok.yzdood wrote:Just thought i'd provide an update if anyone reads this looking for a similar kind of combo.

Re: Surf Combo Recommendation
That's a bummer! You're right it is quite fine, I did a bit of research on it first and those that have one gave them a pretty big wrap.
