Hey everyone, I’m looking at buying a new 12ft 12-15kg surf rod combo for gummies ect.. for landbased fishing. Just wonder what everyone recommends that’s on the market around the $200-300 mark or there abouts. Some combo that’s good to cast and light weight would be ideal. Cheers and tight lines! :water:

Penn prevail rod ,Penn fierce live liner or Pflueger salt is my fav set up.

300 for the combo? Prevail and a Spinfisher V is probably the most logical choice.

If you don't like the full graphite rods check out the Shimano Aeroweave composites.

If you want to spend a bit more a Nitro Surf Messiah or Daiwa Sensor Surf and something like a Saragossa 10k would be ideal.
