The guides are precisely aligned, along the bottom of the spine of the blank which is perfectly straight and true.

They have never let me down and really are some of the toughest rods I have ever used. I have several Ugly Sticks, some for over twenty years now. Shakespeare Ugly Stik Bigwater Spinning Rod Here are some examples of good quality, well built surf fishing rods that can take the tough conditions of surf fishing and not bust the budget. This will help ensure you enjoy your surf fishing experience without breaking the bank. What’s the best bang for the buck?Ī good quality rod, with quality corrosion resistant components that will stand up to the conditions and perform adequately. You should try to strike a balance between cost, quality, and your budget of course. That being said the higher end rods will generally have higher quality components with the latest in rod building technologies and materials. If you’re interested in good starter rod and reel combinations for surf fishing, check out my recent post here. In my humble opinion, there isn’t $250 dollars difference in quality or performance. I’ll be the first to admit, price is not always a valid indicator of quality. You can plunk down $200-$300 dollars on a top of the line high end brand name rod, and you can also find rods in the $40-$70 dollar range. When shopping for most anything these days, you will notice a wide range of prices and surf fishing rods are no different. Less expensive rods will have fewer eyes, but don’t worry, they will still catch fish. A good rule of thumb is one eye per foot of rod, so an 11-foot rod would have 11 eyes. Better rods will also have more eyes to distribute the load more efficiently over the rod.
The rod eyes should be stainless or some other corrosion resistant material. The rod components need to be not only durable, but corrosion resistant as well.
For beginners, something in the 9 – 11 foot range will be easier to fish with as you get used to handling and casting a larger rod and larger baits, while battling the waves 😉 When choosing surf fishing rods, you will need to look for a rod from 9 feet on up to 15 feet in length.
