One of my favorite rods I have is my 11' Penn Spinfisher. Its a few yeas old but it is the carbon fiber one. I have a Penn 11' Pursuit rod that is also a great rod, however , it is about 2/3rds the price of my Spinfisher. I have about 6 other surf rods that I use and it amazes me that when I'm out fishing, a lot of the time I watch to see which rod, how far out it is in the water, and to see where the fish are, but the biggest thing I notice is that the Pomps and "several" big Redfish hit the $60 Shakespear rods I've had for about 8 years. I think its all in how you make your rig, where the washes are, wind, etc..

I have a buddy that fishes an Ugly Stick with an Alvey reel on it, and he can almost hit some of the rigs out there in the GOM with it, lol!! Just kidding. I have had my eye on the SeaStriker Surf Rod 11' the next time I can get my hands on one. Its light weight and that means a lot when your fishing from dawn till 1pm, makes it a little easier for the kids to reel in also. When I pass them a rod with a "fish on"!, they can barely fight it for the length and weight of the whole rig combined.

Tight Lines!
