Newaz Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 (edited) Hello raiders, Raiders here has always been helpful out of the box. Now, wondering if anyone could put in some suggestions on a multi purpose rod for surf fishing and spinning as well in the beach. I already have a 12ft surf rod which is a bit heavy; not ideal for spinning out there. I have shimano beastmaster bx 15ft rod in my mind, is it ideal for this purpose? Can you guys suggest me a light weight 14-15ft 2 piece rod which I can use for surf idle fishing and spinning as well to cast further. I am mainly targeting salmon tailor kingi bonito. Looking forward. Appreciate your help. Newaz Edited January 3, 2017 by Newaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest123456789 Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 15 foot is a telegraph pole I've never used anything over 12 foot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrassRoots Posted January 6, 2017 Share Posted January 6, 2017 I think if you are mostly spinning then a lot of people would suggest 10ft. I have a 10ft for spinning and i personally think anything longer would become unwieldy and awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savit Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Newaz asked for dual purpose rod - bait and lures. While 10 foot might be optimal for lure casting - it might be too short for bait casting (depending on the fishing area). I usually fish baits off beach with 14' as 12' is too short for me. So, I would get 2 rods for separate purpose if I wanted to enjoy the process of fishing Also, AU Shimano Beastmaster rod is advertised as a glass rod and 15' will give a good exercise with regular casting.

JonD Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 (edited) My dual rods for both spinning and casting baits are 10ft, this size can also work well off the rocks. Shimano Tiralejo and jigging master shore game 9'8 both have heaps of power for the big beach species. Seen some good bargains on the Daiwa sensor lately.

If you tend to fish in one place - check if surf condition allow shorter rod. Penn Prevail rods have good reputation while there was a number of complaints on forums that Daiwa Sensor casting weight ratings are 'a bit' ovetrstated.

I presume this brand can be found in the tackle shops in Asian parts of the Sydney. Graphite is more lure-friendly, glass is more rock-friendly. I prefer composite rods (mix of glass and graphite) - they are not fragile on the rocks like graphite and not heavy or slow like glass rods. Edited January 8, 2017 by savit missed a few words.
