Twenty years ago, I started surf fishing for big red drum with a hand-me-down fiberglass surf fishing rod that was yellowed with age and abuse. I fished for an entire year without catching a trophy redfish.

After twelve months of dogged defeat, I saved up some money and purchased a modern graphite rod with high-grade components. I landed a red drum over 40 inches on my first trip with the new rod. My success wasn’t due to skill or luck; it was the rod. The combination of materials and design resulted in the fish of a lifetime and ignited a lifetime of surf fishing for red drum.

Surf anglers ask the most of their fishing rods. The best surf rods focus on distance, accuracy, power, and finesse. To meet the need, rod manufacturers combine cutting-edge materials and designs with tough components to create action-specific rods focused on surf fishing.

Whether you’re looking to catch your first fish in the surf or you’re an old salt, the best surf fishing rods put it all together to make surf fishing easier and more enjoyable.

Best Medium Weight Conventional: PENN Carnage III

Best Heavy Bait Rod: Century Drum Gun

How I Tested the Best Surf Fishing Rods

Choosing the single best surf rod is impossible. Surf fishing rods are specific to fishing tactics, location, conditions, and personal preference. Comparing a bait rod to a lure rod is apples and oranges.

I started with five general categories of surf fishing.

Medium-action spinning rod for lures
Medium-action spinning rod for bait
Medium-action conventional for bait
Light lure or bait rod
Heavy-action bait rod

Then, I queried my surf-fishing friends across the country for their favorite surf sticks.

For a second opinion on each rod, I called in my friend Ryan White, owner of Hatteras Jack Bait and Tackle and a world champion long caster . We spent an afternoon casting each rod and considering the construction, materials, and feel of the rod.

The best surf rod doesn’t mean the most expensive. Yes, some of the rods in my review are high dollar. Quality and performance cost money. Other rods in the review are a bargain. As rod technology improves, it trickles down to lower-price models. While top-of-the-line rods use every advantage at any cost, you can get a high-quality and solid action surf rod for a reasonable price.

I started with the most important questions.

Is the rod sensitive to feel a light bite?
Does it have a stiff backbone to stand up to a big fish?
Are the grips grippy?
Does the reel seat fit my hand?

To determine the sweet spot where the rod is most comfortable and efficient. I cast each rod using a variety of lures and sinkers within the rod’s recommended weight range. In addition to distance and accuracy, I noted the rod’s build and fit.

The next test is the most difficult. How does the rod feel while casting and retrieving? Does it load up and snap the lure like a whip? Will the rod bend and sway under the action of a swimming plug?

In surf fishing, there is a direct correlation between the quality of the equipment and the chances of success. Fishing from the beach requires a long accurate cast, hyper-sensitive action, and solid power to make it all come together.

Every surf angler needs an all-around medium-weight bait rod for long, accurate casts. PENN’s Carnage III is the third generation of their top-of-the-line model with great components at a reasonable price. “You get a lot of bang for the buck,” says White.

Angler holds one of the best surf fishing rods.

High-quality components like Fuji K guides with SIC inserts reduce tangles with smooth silicone rings for a long cast. PENN is proud of its S3SL construction, sandwiching layers of graphite and fiberglass for sensitivity and durability. The rod is rated for a 2- to 6-ounce lure, but I felt comfortable throwing a 5-ounce sinker and bait. The Carnage III is a little on the bulky side, but the extra weight translated into extra strength, making the rod tough enough to serve as a reliable medium-action rod for striped bass, redfish, and black drum.

Power: Moderate fast
Action: Medium

I’ve slowly been replacing the fishing rods in my arsenal with Shimano XX rods. I started with my boat and kayak rods, and now I’m stoked to add Tiralejo XX rods to the surf fishing quiver.

The XX stands for Shimano’s Spiral X and High-Power X blank construction. The blank starts with vertical carbon fibers wrapped inside and out with spirals of carbon fiber tape. This allows Shimano to precisely balance power and sensitivity in exact sections of the blank to achieve performance requirements. Carbon fiber rods are inherently more fragile than fiberglass rods, but the spiral construction keeps the blank from twisting or compressing under pressure without adding weight.

My first Tiralejo XX addition was the 9-foot, 6-inch spinning rod. This model is perfect for an angler casting heavy lures from a rock jetty or pier, where accuracy and crowd control are the most important qualities. A medium power rod has flex to allow a lure to swim freely, but the Tiralejo’s Spiral X wrap’s fast recovery keeps the cast snappy.

With a big fish on the line, I can feel the power translated into the fight allowing the rod to beat the fish. And, when I’m landing a heavy fish, the High Power X construction allows me to hold the rod tip high without snapping the rod.

The rod is rated for a lure up to 3 ounces, but I found the 3-ounce mark a comfortable starting point with the capability to cast a 2-ounce bucktail and rubber jig tail or 3-ounce swimming plug.

Length: 10 feet, 6 inches

Angler holds a St. Croix surf fishing rod.

Narrowing down the best surf fishing rod for striped bass isn’t easy, so I hit up my friend Nick Honachefsky, host of Saltwater Underground and a New Jersey based surf angler. Without hesitation, Honachefsky recommended the St. Croix Seage Surf spinning rod. “The beauty of the 10-foot, 6-inch model is its versatility,” Honachefsky says. According to him, the rod is capable of working a 3-ounce wooden plug, a 1-ounce StingSilver , or throwing a chunk of clam with a 3- to 6-ounce sinker.

The author tests the St. Croix Seage Surf.

Honachefsky adds that the 10-foot, 6-inch medium-heavy model can beat a 20-pound bluefish or 40-pound striped bass. In my testing, the medium-fast model snaps out a cast and still has enough play to allow a lure to work. St. Croix’s Advanced Reinforcing Technology carbon fiber and Fortifying Resin System work together to create a hearty rod with a striking blue finish and premium wraps. Honachefsky appreciates the low-profile butt section and light blank. “I can throw the rod for hours without bumping into my side every cast,” he says.

How to Choose the Best Surf Fishing Rod

There’s a reason why an old-salt’s beach buggy bristles with a dozen surf rods: Choosing the best surf rod isn’t easy. Instead of expecting to find one rod to do it all, experienced anglers have a rod for each tactic and target species.

To find the best rod for bait fishing or casting lures, consider how you will fish, how much you have to spend, and how you will transport and store the fishing rod.

Local Surf Fishing Info

Large numbers of surf anglers often gather at a popular beach, jetty or pier. While fishing, competitive anglers check out each other’s rods, reels, tackle, and tactics. The best way to choose the best surf fishing rod for a specific tactic or species is to watch other anglers in action. If the anglers are friendly, strike up a conversation. Better yet, hire a local guide to show you the ropes.

The next best source of information is a local tackle shop. The in-house experts know the best tackle and have a variety of options to fit your needs. As you search for the best surf rod, you’ll quickly realize the most successful anglers have carefully chosen high-quality fishing rods matched to the local fishing.

The first step in choosing the best surf rod is matching the rod to the tactic. A bait rod needs a strong backbone to launch a heavy rig and hold a sinker in the bottom. Lure fishing requires more sensitivity to work the lure.

A longer rod provides extra casting distance, while a shorter rod offers better control. Fast action produces an extra kick on the cast, and a slower action loads for a heavy lure. Bait rods emphasize power to bring in the heavy sinker and a big fish. Lure rods are fine-tuned to swim a plug or streak a spoon with fish-attracting action. Whatever the tactic, there are several rods perfectly suited for the scenario. Matching the rod to the tactic is the first step for success.

Storage and Transport

Surf rods are long and delicate. Most rods come in two pieces to make storage and transport easier. However, you still need to choose between a 50/50 or 60/40 break.

A 50/50 rod breaks down into two equal parts. This is great for shipping and storage. Not only is it easier to fit in a closet or a hatchback, but the 50/50 rod is easier to carry to the beach.

For the best casting action, choose a 60/40 or similar break. This type of rod has a shorter butt section and longer tip. For example, a 10-foot rod would have a 4-foot butt section and a 6-foot tip. The longer tip produces a more even bend through the rod length for a more powerful cast.

No way around it; good fishing rods are expensive, and really good fishing rods are really expensive. Surf anglers face many challenges, and the best surf rod improves the odds of pulling a fish from shore. Serious anglers will pay any price to get an advantage over their adversary.

That said, the best surf rod is the one you can afford. In recent years, features previously found on expensive fishing rods are now available on mid-range models.

In the end, ask yourself what you expect of the fishing rod. Are you going to cast out a couple baits, kick back in the beach chair and crack open a cold beverage? Then a solid mid-range rod provides hours of beach fishing fun.

But if you plan to go toe-to-toe with the best surf jockeys, charging the shore break in any weather to target the biggest, meanest fish in the sea, then investing in the best surf rod will feed the passion.

Surf fishing falls into several categories, including beach, pier, and jetty. Beach rods are longer and stronger to launch lures to the outer bar. It’s not unusual to have a 13-foot-long surf rod. Jetty rods are generally shorter for casting in a crowd with more accuracy. A 9- to 10-foot rod provides casting distance with the ability to control a fish close to the rocks. You can cast a lightweight jetty rod for hours without fatigue. Pier rods are shorter. A few tactics require long pier rods for casting heavy sinkers, but the typical pier rod is 7 to 8 feet long with a strong backbone to crank a fish from the water to the pier.

Each fishing rod is labeled with the matching line weight. For example, the 11-foot Carnage III is rated for 20- to 40-pound test, while the 8-foot, 6-inch Okuma Rockaway SP is gauged for 8- to 16-pound test. Not only does line weight determine the pound test line ideally suited for the rod, but it helps choose a matching size reel. For example, a rod labeled for 12- to 20-pound line matches a 12- to 20-size reel or a 2500 to 4000 spinning reel. The rule of thumb is lighter, thinner fishing line is more aerodynamic to cast farther. But, the lighter line is also weaker and less abrasion resistant. The key is to balance the line diameter within the recommended range with the size of the target fish and the fishing conditions. Targeting large fish in heavy surf requires heavier line, while smaller fish in the shorebreak is best targeted with light lines.

Everyone thinks a longer surf rod is better for a longer cast, but a shorter rod is easier to cast. For example, a 13-foot-long rod launches a bait the longest distance but an 11- or 12-foot rod is easier for a new angler to swing. Fish often swim close to shore, and a shorter rod makes it easier to fish in the shorebreak. And you don’t want to throw a long fishing rod around a crowded pier or jetty. Sometimes a shorter rod makes more sense.

Final Thoughts on the Best Surf Fishing Rods

Boat and kayak anglers will never understand the excitement of fighting a fish from shore. Standing stationary, heart racing, while a big fish empties the reel. The breaking waves pound the line. The fish uses the shallow water to its advantage, running through sand, rocks, and reefs like a linebacker. You use the long, powerful rod as a lever, feeling the rod slowly work against the fish. With each run, you watch the tip surge and bow. The surf rod is beating the fish. And then, you run backward out of the surf using the rod to drag the catch up the beach.

The best surf fishing rods put together distance, power, and durability ultimately puts more fish on the beach and a smile on your face.

24 Best Surf Fishing Rods

Surf fishing is unlike any other form of angling as it offers the opportunity to catch a huge variety of fish from the beach or shoreline of any coastal area. Fishing in the surf is not as easy as it might appear and there are some very specific techniques and methods used by the most skilled anglers to land fish in higher numbers and bigger sizes.

While it may appear to be one of the most simple forms of angling, surf fishing actually tests the skill level of even the most experienced fishing enthusiast. Surf fishing is relatively similar all over the world and many of the same basic principles are used on both major United States coastlines, as well as any tropical areas and other shorelines.

Surf fishing requires anglers to cast their bait out as far as possible. Ideally, casts are past the crashing waves when fishing on a beach. Doing so will usually put the bait in a better position closer to the strike zone. This will present anglers with the possibility to catch all kinds of small or large game fish species.

Becoming skilled and productive when it comes to surf fishing requires a considerable amount of research and practice. Having the right tools at your disposal will greatly enhance your efforts along the way. There are many different surf fishing rods and this article provides a detailed list of high quality and average quality surf fishing rods.

It is important to get a rod with the power to match the desired lure weights. Light lures will not cast as far if the rod power is too high. Heavy lures will also not cast as far if the power is to light and could break the rod during the cast or the retrieve. The action is less important but faster actions will be more rigid and more sensitive.

5. St Croix Mojo Surf Fishing Rod

6. St. Croix Triumph Surf Fishing Rod

This high-performance material is stronger and also helps anglers have a greater level of sensitivity when compared with other surf rod makes and models.

The Ugly Stik Bigwater surf fishing rod is of the best values of any other rod on our list. It has one-piece guides without ceramic inserts so it is recommended to use with monofilament fishing line. A braided line can work but can also make the guide rough over time which can fray and break the line.

8. Fiblink 2-Piece Surf Fishing Rod

Fiblink is a relatively new company that is establishing a reputation for good products and reasonable prices. The Fiblink 2-piece surf fishing rod is a great choice for anglers looking for a solid option that won’t cost too much.

In the case of the Fiblink 3-Piece surf fishing rod, anglers are able to break their rod down, pack it into a well-made case, and take it just about anywhere they want to go. This rod is made with super-sensitive carbon fiber that is lightweight and tough.

With stainless steel guides and ceramic guide components, users will likely appreciate the extra-smooth casting experience this rod offers. Many times, when surf fishing, anglers miss fish because they can’t feel the bites or nibble on the other end. The Fiblink 3-Piece rod offers an incredibly sensitive feel which translates to a better fishing experience as you will be able to tell the difference between natural movement and a fish’s first bites.

The non-slip handle is made with shrink tube material that helps to eliminate any slipping that might occur. The reel seat is not quite as tough as some other brands and might be a vulnerable spot of this model when compared with other premium brands of surf fishing rods.

10. Fiblink 4-Piece Surf Fishing Rod

Like other two-piece and three-piece models, the Fiblink 4-Piece surf fishing rod is an ideal choice for anglers who are concerned with a high level of portability when it comes to their surf fishing rod.

Information About Surf Fishing Rods

How to cast a surf fishing rod.

Casting a surf rod is all about precision and distance. While holding your line with your finger and flipping the bail over as you typically would using a spinning reel, you’ll want to line your sinker up with the bottom eye on your rod. This will ensure that you get the optimal fulcrum.

For a right-handed cast, you’ll place your left hand on the butt end of the rod and the right hand will be placed on the reel seat portion of the rod. Make sure your sinker is sitting on the sand with no slack in your line just as you begin your cast.

You’ll then want to thrust the rod over and downward as your whole body moves forward, with your front foot stepping forward in order to get as much propulsion as possible. You’ll end your cast with the rod tip pointed directly at the spot you intend for your rig to make an impact with the water surface.

Lure Weights for Surf Fishing Rods

Weights are an essential part of a surf fishing rig. There are a variety of different style weights that offer their own unique advantages while fishing.

Pyramid: the most common sinker style is the pyramid style which is designed to dig into the sand and keep your bait in place.

Wedge: the wedge sinker is ideal for larger baits when surf fishing. The concave mouth at the top helps to prevent this sinker from being pulled free of the sand.

Coin: the coin sinker is especially popular for anglers fishing for species like kingfish. The coin, when dragged across the sandy bottom, mimics the movement and effect of a crab scuttling across the bottom.

Sputnik: This style of the sinker is especially unique as it uses a number of long wires to extend and dig into the bottom.

Hatteras: the Hatteras style of the sinker is also designed to keep your bait in the same position as it should lodge down into the sandy bottom. It should hold in place and allow the sinker to dig into muddy bottoms, as well as sandy seafloors.

Construction Materials

Surf fishing rods are mostly made from materials like graphite, fiberglass, or a combination of both. Most surf rods are made of graphite as surf rods are required to be longer and thicker than other styles of rods, and a fiberglass surf rod would simply be too heavy to wield and cast.

Fiberglass rods are typically considered slow to medium action as they will bend the length of the rod. Graphite rods can be made with a wider variety of different degrees of stiffness, especially in longer surf fishing rods that are usually as long as 12 foot or more. The various degrees of stiffness are referred to as a rod’s modulus rating.

Graphite is known to be more sensitive when compared to fiberglass or other material, which helps anglers feel a fish’s bite in many cases.

Power and Actions Rating of Surf Fishing rods

Different power rods will cast further depending on the lure weight. Casting far is a very important factor in surf fishing rod design as it is crucial that an angler get their bait out past the breaking waves and into calmer waters along the beach.

Most surf fishing rods will offer a power rating of medium or heavy as the rigs and baits used are much larger and heavier than those involved in other styles of fishing. In order to cast these big, heavy baits and sinkers out as far as they should go, a rod has to be stiff enough to have a bit of a spring-like ability.

Action, as it relates to surf fishing, is very similar to the concept of power. With heavier lures and baits, anglers need a stiff rod that won’t easily bend in order to get the most out of a highly powerful cast.

Simply put, if you plan to use a very heavy rig and bait, you’ll want a rod with heavy power and moderately fast action as it will allow you to get the most out of your effort in casting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Surf Fishing Rods

What is a surf fishing rod.

Surf fishing, as noted above, involves casting your bait rig out as far as possible. This means you’ll need to have an especially long rod to get the most force out of your casting form. Many surf fishing rods will range in length from 7 foot out to as long as 18 foot in some cases.

These rods will also need to be quite heavy as you’ll usually be throwing rigs and lures that are very heavy compared to freshwater fishing rods. If you’re looking to get your first surf fishing rod, start with a medium-heavy power rod option as this will allow you to utilize the rod and get the most out of a variety of different styles of baits and lures.

What is the best surf fishing rod length?

Surf fishing rods can vary in length from about 7 feet out to 18 feet in most cases. Anglers can choose from any number of lengths between those numbers, but each one usually has a very specific purpose that surf fishing anglers are looking to accomplish.

If you’re looking to get the right length for your surf fishing rod, you’ll want to take into account your own height, as this will also play a role in how long you can cast your rig using a certain rod length. If you’re a bit shorter than most people, go for a shorter rod and vice versa for tall anglers.

People who are taller than the average angler are generally able to have an advantage when it comes to surf fishing as they’ll be able to easily cast their bait out to a longer distance. The goal in casting your lure out into the surf is to get it past the breaking waves and into the calmer water in order to ensure that your rig won’t be swept back into the shore, and that passing fish will have a better chance to see it and strike at it.

How far can a surf fishing rod cast?

The distance a surf fishing rod can cast all depends on the length of your rod and the amount of force you’re able to put into each casting motion. If you’re taller than the average person and in good physical condition, you should have a considerable advantage when casting a surf rod as you’ll be able to put more force and leverage into your casting form.

If you’re using a rod that’s 12 feet in length, or longer, you should be able to cast anywhere from 50 to 70 yards in most cases. Some anglers, using a variety of different bait and weight combinations along with longer, heavier rods can cast out a bit farther than this, but the goal is to be just outside of the breaking waves.

What type of fish do you catch with surf fishing rods?

One of the greatest things about surf fishing is the huge variety of fish you’re usually able to catch. Most surf fishing anglers can catch anything from striped bass , bluefish, sharks , and a variety of different drum species.

Snook and tarpon are fun species for surf anglers as these fish grow to be very large in size and put up a considerable fight. Mackerel are super fast-swimming fish and are exciting to catch from the shore or from a boat.

Speckled sea trout is usually a very common species of game fish you can expect to catch with a surf fishing rod. However, these fish typically do not grow to a very large size. There is any number of other species such as croakers, skates, bluefish, dogfish, and others that are also common.

One of the most common types of fish surf anglers enjoy catching are sharks. As you can imagine, sharks can grow up to a few hundred pounds and can give anglers an incredibly-difficult fight that can sometimes last for a few hours.

What is the best reel to use with a surf fishing rod?

Surf fishing reels , like surf rods, are to be expected to be able to withstand a high degree of pressure as anglers might catch any number of large and fast-swimming fish species from the shoreline. A surf fishing reel must also be saltwater compatible as a freshwater reel that is exposed to saltwater will be considerably damaged over time due to corrosion.

The most important part of the surf fishing reel is the spool design. Reels that are specifically designed for surf fishing will have tall spools. This allows for the line to come off the reel without getting hung up and has a lower drag for further casting. Some reels are bailless to ensure the bail does not close during the cast. If the bail closes shortly after the cast a high instantaneous force will be generated when the line gets tight. This high force can snap even the strongest lines.

Regarding a reel’s size, it’s best to choose one that’s sized from a 5000 to 8000 series. These reels have large spools that hold enough line for far casting and extra line if the fish runs further out. Make sure that your reel is corrosion-resistant, as well as having a high gear ratio in order to get the most out of your reeling efforts.

Is mono or braid better for surf fishing?

Surf fishing is all about toughness and covering long distances with your tackle and equipment. In order to accomplish this, sometimes one or the other is a better option.

Braided line is better for fishing in choppy conditions when the winds are howling and the water is more likely to have a harder pull on your rigs. A braided line won’t stretch against the current and waves, and it is also more sensitive, which should allow anglers to have a better ability to feel the fish biting their lures or bait.

A monofilament line is very good as it has better abrasion-resistant qualities and will withstand contact with underwater objects such as rocks, logs, and other items that might otherwise cause your line to break or be damaged. If you plan to fish for large species such as sharks, having the stretching ability of mono can also be a significant advantage as your catch won’t easily pull free or break the line as it is pulling against your rod.

What color line is best for surf fishing?

The color of your fishing line typically doesn’t matter, but sometimes it can be the difference-maker in catching or missing a sharp-eyed fish. Many anglers attest that the color of your line doesn’t matter when it comes to surf fishing while others say that it can make all the difference.

Usually, it’s best to use a line that is somewhat similar to the watercolor you’re fishing in. Many anglers attest to green being a great option for fishing in gulf regions as the emerald-colored water helps to blend the line’s color and further camouflage it from wary fish. If the water happens to be clear using a monofilament or fluorocarbon leader is a good idea.

The color of the line you use can often matter more depending on the specific type of game fish species you plan to catch as some fish have better eyesight than others. It’s important to do plenty of research in order to determine whether or not you’ll need to spool your reel with a certain color line in order to give yourself an advantage on the water.

What size hooks for surf fishing?

The proper hook size for surf fishing will often depend on the particular game fish species you intend to catch, as well as the type of bait you plan to use. Most anglers consider a #2 to 3/0 size hook a good size for surf fishing. This will allow you to catch almost any type of fish you may encounter swimming at or near the shoreline.

Make sure your bait will be held tightly on your hook and will not slide off as you cast. It’s also very important to make sure you’re using the right bait before worrying about your hook size.

It’s very important to do your research on the specific types of fish that are in season, as well as the ones you are specifically targeting while surf fishing in order to make the most out of your efforts. Once you’ve narrowed down the exact type of fish you want to target, you will then be able to determine the best size hook to be used, as well as the best bait to rig.

What’s the best bait for beach fishing?

Many anglers opt for using shrimp while surf fishing as they are a type of bait that appeals to many different fish species. Nearly anything in the ocean will bite a shrimp if given the opportunity and sometimes they work better when fished with a slow retrieve in order to mimic a fleeing shrimp. The main problem with shrimp is that they don’t often stay on the hook as well as other baits and can easily be pulled off the hook by smaller fish that you may not be targeting.

You really can never go wrong when using cut-bait to catch anything while surf fishing. Cut bait is a great choice for trying to catch larger species like cobia, shark, and striped bass. A good scent trail from large baits can help attract fish to the bait.

Using squid is a great option for beginning anglers as this type of bait will generally stay on the hook better than anything else, and you’ll have a good chance to catch a variety of different kinds of fish species. Squid can be a messy option for bait but are usually a solid pick any time of the year.

Without a doubt, one of the best baits for surf fishing are sand fleas. These little critters are what fish are mostly after when they come near the shoreline to feed on anything they can find. Sand fleas are very nutritious and are also appealing to any type of fish you happen to find swimming near the coast. They are well-known for being tough to find in some cases as they can burrow down into the sand rather quickly. Make no mistake, sand fleas are a top choice for the experienced surf fishing enthusiast.

How many lines do you need for surf fishing?

When surf fishing, you can expect to use quite a bit of line, especially if you hook a large fish that pulls off a considerable amount of line from your reel and breaks it off. Most experts recommend users having anywhere from 250 to 300 yards of the line for surf fishing.

What pound test line is best for surf fishing?

Anglers can expect to catch a wide variety of fish while surf fishing on any given day. Generally, most experts recommend using somewhere from 20-pound to 50-pound test line in order to account for any larger fish species you happen to hook. This will allow you to cast far and catch be small and large fish. Experienced anglers will be able to land large fish even on a 20-pound test line. When specifically target large sharks 80-100 pound test line should be used on a conventional reel.

Our review process.

Finding the best surf rods is no mean feat. We had to comb through the never-ending list of rods out there. Here’s how we did it.

We started by filtering out only the rods with options from 8 to 12 feet. Then, we split them into price ranges so as to find the best ones from each price range.

Our final step was to buy the promising ones to test, but before that, we had to first identify the promising ones. We did this by filtering according to their overall review score on Amazon and a few other indicators .

We then picked the top five from each price range to do a closer analysis. Our next step was to go down to a local tackle store to find each of those rods. We held each rod, felt the grip, and even performed the casting motion to see how the rods balanced.

Finally, we chose the two most promising ones from each price range to do a hands-on test. Of course, with our team of anglers, we didn’t need to buy all the rods. Half the rods there were ones we already owned or had owned in the past. And for a couple more, we knew anglers who had them and we asked them for a thorough review, so we ended up only needing to purchase seven rods to test.

In the end, these were the 10 best the market had to offer.

This surf rod is all about meticulous design, using top-quality materials. As a result, it’s able to resist wear and tear, even against relentless waves and rough environments.

Whether you’re battling strong fish or navigating choppy waters, this rod remains steadfast. You can trust this reliable tool to take on your prized catches. The best part? Its durability doesn’t translate to excessive weight. It strikes a perfect balance between strength and maneuverability.

If you’re an angler who values resilience and craves a rod that can stand up to the elements, this is the best rod for you. Its unyielding durability and consistent performance make it the go-to choice for the toughest fishing conditions.

Best Casting

6. Penn Prevail II Surf Casting Rod

Overall Score: 9.1

Handle Material: Rubber Shrink Tubing

Up next is the best casting rod – the Penn Prevail II Surf Casting Rod. This rod’s exceptional casting prowess sets it apart. With it, anglers gain the ability to deliver their bait precisely where they want it.

Casting accuracy can make all the difference in a successful fishing trip, and this rod delivers on that front. It’s engineered with a blend of high-quality graphite and advanced casting technology. This means the materials and design work harmoniously to provide the perfect combination of power, sensitivity, and precision .

Its robust build also enhances its accuracy, ensuring that your casts are on target, even in challenging conditions.

While this rod excels in casting accuracy, I do find the handle grip uncomfortable during extended casting sessions.

Still, if you’re an angler who’s looking for a baitcasting rod and aims for precise bait placement, you could do a lot worse than this rod. Its remarkable casting performance distinguishes it from the rest. You’ll have the confidence to hit your target every time.

P.S. Don’t be confused by the product title on Amazon. It says “spinning” rod, but it’s without a doubt a baitcasting rod. We’ve bought it to see and test.

Best Portability

7. Fiblink Surf Spinning Rod

Overall Score: 8.8

Rod Length: 10-12 ft

If you’re looking for a rod to bring around on your travels or just stow in the back of your car, the Fiblink Surf is a great choice.

This rod breaks down into 2, 3, and 4 pieces, is long enough to cast far out into the surf, and is robust and light.

Unfortunately, it’s not the most durable. We noticed one of the guides starting to chip after a few weeks of heavy fishing. I also believe it will most likely break apart if put to the test against huge fish.

However, remember that you’re also getting it at a really cheap price, and most travel rods aren’t meant for heavy fishing anyway.

Best For Beginners

8. Berrypro IM8 Surf Spinning Rod

For those stepping into the world of angling, the BerryPro IM8 is a great starting point. With its user-friendly design and approachable features, this rod was made for newcomers. If you’re eager to explore the art of fishing without feeling overwhelmed, this could just be the rod for you.

The BerryPro IM8 came to use in a soft cardboard box with bubble wrap inside. And upon testing, we found that it made fishing really instinctive.

The BerryPro IM8 strikes a balance between simplicity and performance. This provides an ideal platform for aspiring anglers to hone their skills. The lightweight construction also enables comfortable handling, even during prolonged fishing sessions.

This rod’s user-friendly mechanics also make casting and reeling in catches a breeze. This allows beginners to focus on the basics without grappling with complicated features.

In the diverse world of fishing techniques, the Okuma Longitude’s versatility is a prized trait. With both spinning and casting offerings, this rod offers anglers the chance to familiarize themselves with the spinning version and then transition to the casting version if they wish. Likewise, they can do so for the casting option, and if they like it, get the spinning one.

The true beauty of this rod lies in its harmonious balance between performance and convenience.

Whether you’re casting your bait with precision or relying on the smooth mechanics of spinning, this rod accommodates your preferences. Its well-balanced design minimizes fatigue during extended angling sessions, ensuring that you remain focused on the thrill of the catch.

Buying Guide

You’ve journeyed through our top 10 surf fishing rod reviews and have your eyes set on the perfect rod.

Our buying guide aims to help you make an even more informed choice. We’ll break down the crucial factors that can turn your fishing experience from ordinary to extraordinary.

Your budget plays a significant role in your surf fishing rod decision. We’ve got options catering to every wallet.

The Penn Battalion II and Fiblink are affordable all-stars.

And if you’re ready to take your angling to the next level, consider the St Croix Seage . It’s a premium investment that promises unmatched quality.

Most modern fishing rod blanks are made up of either graphite, fiberglass, or composite which is a combination of both graphite and fiberglass. Each has its strengths and weaknesses.

Graphite, aka carbon fiber, makes for the lightest and most sensitive fishing rods. With a graphite blank, you’ll be able to feel even the slightest pulls.

However, they’re also the most expensive and tend to be less sturdy.

On the other hand, fiberglass rods are the complete opposite of graphite rods.

Fiberglass rod blanks are as sturdy and durable as it gets, and you’ll need these sorely in surf fishing, where you’ll be up against the toughest fish in the world.

As I mentioned earlier, fiberglass is the complete opposite of graphite. The toughness of fiberglass comes at the expense of lightness and sensitivity. Fiberglass rods are a lot heavier and less sensitive than graphite rods.

Finally, with composite, you get fairly sensitive and light rods that are also pretty durable. While your rod won’t be the lightest, the most sensitive, or the most durable, you’ll get a pretty well-balanced rod.

Since you’ll be fishing in the surf, which is saltwater, you’ll be needing guides that can resist corrosion.

Thankfully, most rods nowadays have metal guides, and most metals are quite resistant to corrosion. And if you can find ceramic guides, those are even smoother and completely immune to corrosion.

Of course, there are some better quality metals to look out for. These include titanium and alconite. Both are impressively strong, smooth, and corrosion-resistant.

The absolute minimum length for surf fishing rods is 8 ft. A shorter rod may not be able to cast far enough into calm water. The question is how far can and should you go?

In a nutshell, a long rod allows for a long cast, until the point where it hinders your casting. There is a wide range of surf rod lengths, but you’ll want to focus on the 8-12 ft range.

For those looking to target panfish closer to the shore, an 8 ft long rod will offer the best sensitivity.

For most of us, we’ll be looking to target slightly larger fish, and that’s why most of the time, I’d recommend getting a 10 ft rod for a fairly long cast.

Long surf rods of 12 ft are reserved for those who are going after the biggest fishes, and need to cast the furthest.

Shorter rods below 8 ft are too short to cast into calm waters. There’s also no point casting past the surf zone where the fish are holding, so anything above 12 ft generally casts too far.

It’s also best to research where the fish are holding at your location to decide the optimal casting distance and thus the right rod length for you.

Rod power is just a fancy name for stiffness, which in turn refers to how much force you need to bend your rod.

Obviously, a rod that is too flimsy won’t be able to handle big fish. The heavier your rod power, the more force you need to bend it. This means you’ll be able to handle larger fish.

Essentially, you don’t want to get anything that’s medium light power and below.

For those looking to fish for panfish, you’ll want a medium power rod.

For the majority that are looking to target decent, larger-sized fish, medium heavy power rods are the best.

For the most ambitious anglers, you’ll be wanting heavy power rods that can handle the strongest fish.

Rod action refers to how low down your rod will bend when you apply pressure to the tip.

Why does this matter?

The lower down it bends, the more casting distance and less sensitivity you have.

Rods that bend the furthest down are called slow action rods. Those that bend in the middle are moderate action rods, and those that bend at the tip are fast action rods.

For surf fishing, fast action rods are the best as they offer the most sensitivity. While you will be sacrificing some casting distance, you’ll more than make up for it with your rod length.

If you still have unanswered questions, you’ll probably find the answer here.

Are beach rods and surf rods different?

These two terms tend to be used interchangeably most of the time. But in some states and regions, locals may have a different meaning for both terms.

What is the best line weight for a surf rod?

For most surf species, lines from the 12-25 pound test work well. Smaller fish need lighter lines (12-17 pound test), while larger catches require heavier lines (20-25 pound test).

Are longer rods better for surf fishing?

Yes, longer rods are better for surf fishing as they offer better casting distance and line control. This makes them ideal for reaching fish beyond the breakers and covering more water. The catch is that they come with more weight. So if you’re only targeting smaller fish, then of course a shorter rod makes more sense.

What About Surf Fishing Reels?

Ah yes, and we didn’t forget that you need a rod and reel to fish, not just a rod. Here are the best surf fishing reels , along with in-depth reviews.

Now that you know which are the best fishing rods to surf fish with, let’s step back and see what we’ve covered. Our journey has been about discovering different fishing gear options. Each was designed to suit a different kind of angler. But let’s simplify it all.

Imagine you’re on a mission to find the perfect fishing partner. Amidst all the choices we’ve discussed, one rod emerges as a true all-rounder – the Ugly Stik Bigwater Spinning Rod.

What’s so special about it? Well, it’s tough yet light, so you can enjoy fishing for hours without feeling exhausted.

Before we end off, if you feel you’d rather get a rod and reel combo, we’ve got you covered too. Here are the best surf fishing rod and reel combos . We’ve also collated the best surf fishing lures for you.

Customer Reviews

I submitted a claim nearly 2 months ago and had not heard back. I finally spent a few hours on phone support which left me wanting to change brands. For how expensive this rod is, to miss all of striper season and have to call them with a few hour wait on hold, they to ship a new tip section, then after more discussion waived the shipping fee for the tip. The claim has an option for an upgrade. This actually just means they will charge you for a new rod also, not just that they will charge you to get shipped one tiny section of a poor quality product. Stay away. Awful.

I purchased a 10' 4 piece surf rod for a trip to Panama. I took it out to Lake Michigan in Milwaukee on a warm day before our trip and I broke the tip. After going home (sick to my stomach - as this is the most expensive rod I've purchased to date, and it broke on my first use), I registered it - within the 30 day window. I then filed a warranty claim. I called a few days later to confirm I did everything correctly (you should call if you need warranty service - they don't seem to respond very quickly to the web forms). I asked for the 9'. Unfortunately I got a 2 piece in the mail a couple days later, which didn't really work for me.

I called again, and this time had a rod two business days before my Panama trip.

I have not fished it in salt water yet, but the customer service works really hard and the warranty is something they stand behind.

I took my 9” Triumph Travel Surf rod to the Bahamas for spring break earlier this year. It’s paired with a Penn Battle III 4000 with braided line. Just fit diagonally in my checked suitcase. Worked great on the beach and from the rocks. Great rod. Can’t wait to take it to Florida this winter.

My 9' Triumph Travel Rod has been all over the world with me and will be going to Hawaii again next week. It is a luxurious-feeling travel rod that I always enjoy taking out for a session on the reef - even when I'm at home. It can comfortably handle everything from Surf Perch to Kingfish. I really like the sensitivity of the 9' setup. It feels like something much shorter and more responsive in the hand. The travel case is brilliant, and St. Croix's service is excellent. I broke a tip off while on holiday (my fault), and was able to get a replacement tip section quickly and easily.

An update to my previous review. St Croix has since replaced the rod with the broken tip. I own 7 of these rods that the family takes on our beach vacations. A great travel rod.

The Best Surf Fishing Rods of 2024

Surf fishing is an exciting experience, but you’ll need the right rod to get in on the action

We may earn revenue from the products available on this page and participate in affiliate programs. Learn more ›

Whether you ply the suds in search of striped bass or venture beyond and abroad for exotic monster fish, you want to do so with a good surf fishing rod. However, with all of the advancements in surf fishing technology, it can be hard to select the right tool for your arsenal.

My fishing colleagues call me “ Crazy” Alberto “, because of the drive that forces me to fish the non-human-hours deep into the night. I am a multi-species surfcaster specializing in trophy fishing; known for all-night marathons where I catch the fish of dreams while most people are dreaming. After 50-plus years of land-based angling and surfcasting, I’ve learned a thing or two. In that time, I’ve caught over 10 striped bass exceeding the magical 50-pound class and plenty of tarpon over the 100-pound mark—all from terra firma.

I’ve watched the evolution of fishing rods , specifically surf rods, firsthand—and even had the opportunity to help with development. From bamboo and sections of tapered wood wrapped with horsehair glass fibers to boron and graphite composites, I’ve seen it all through the years. I had the pleasure of working with the founder of Lamiglas rods, the great Mr. Dick Posey, to develop my own signature series of surf rods in the late 1990s.

This article will help you pick one of the best surf fishing rods and may even give you the fishing gear knowledge you need to become a better surfcaster.

Best Beginner: St. Croix Mojo Surf Spinning
Best for Plugging: St. Croix Legend Surf Spinning
Best for Chunking: St. Croix Avid Surf Casting
Best Budget: Tsunami Airwave

How We Picked the Best Surf Fishing Rods

We are unquestionably living in the golden age of surf rod technology, with advancements in rod blanks driven by elaborate space age fiber, lightweight aluminum alloy reel seats, and high-tech ceramic and titanium guides. It’s no wonder the majority of today’s anglers are easily infatuated by the latest and the greatest in surf fishing equipment to hit stores. There are just too many variables to mention, but with a little guidance from yours truly we can get you pointed in the right direction.

In a nutshell, identifying the best surf rod depends on the type of fishing you are planning to do and the performance of the rod. Some rods have slow to medium actions, which are well-suited to live and chunked baits. Others are fast to extra fast, which excel at tossing lures and bucktails. Some are more parabolic than others, with the bend occurring all the way from the tip to the butt section. The deep bend allows the pressure to build slowly and steadily, so you won’t pull the bait or lure away from the fish but can provide enough hook-setting power to keep a big fish tight all the way into shore. If you’re hunting trophy fish, the C-shaped bend of a parabolic rod is probably the way to go.

I have great admiration for brands such as G Loomis, Shimano, Penn, Tsunami rods, and the ever-popular St. Croix Rods, which bear the “Best Rods on Earth” motto. I can even appreciate value brands like Tica, Ugly Stick and Okuma. Obviously, some are built with price in mind to keep the cost of admission low for entry level anglers. There are also high-end / top-tier rods, built on customized blanks with specific actions to meet specific needs. Avid and more seasoned anglers value these rods because of their higher quality components, type of action and the warranties they usually carry. Meticulous and demanding surfrats even opt to have custom surf rods built to fit their style of fishing and for maximum performance.

Best Surf Fishing Rods: Reviews and Recommendations

St. Croix Mojo Surf Spinning is the best surf fishing rod for beginners.

Fishing the surf is very rewarding, but it can seem daunting to a beginning angler. Figuring out the tides, learning about the baitfish present, and learning to read the beach can keep anyone’s hands full. They also need to figure out if they prefer fishing bait, fishing lures , or both. So, anglers just starting out should pick up the best surf fishing rod for beginners that can handle a variety of techniques while they figure out their niche. A spinning rod around 10 feet long, capable of throwing up to six ounces is a good starting point.

The Mojo series from St. Croix Rods offers both beginning and more seasoned anglers excellent value. The 10-foot, six-inch medium heavy/moderate fast St. Croix model is a good starting point for a variety of species, though there is a St. Croix nine-footer for those that prefer a shorter stick. Both lengths are easy to transport and store, thanks to their two-piece construction. Specialized, weight-saving surf guides with zirconium rings and black frames wrangle braid and keep tangles to a minimum. The X-wrap handle is comfortable, and ensures you maintain a strong grip on your fishing rod even in breaking surf. Despite the budget price, St. Croix backs this rod with a five-year warranty.

St. Croix Legend Surf Spinning is the best surf fishing rod for plugging.

Make no mistake about it, there is absolutely nothing better than fooling a fish with an artificial lure. You studied the fish’s habits, and you know exactly what your prized fish are feeding on in. You have just the right lure that imitates the bait’s profile and movement. But you must reach them, often at great distances. You need the best surf fishing rod for plugging that provides the proper casting distance, the power to subdue your catch, and allows the perfect required presentation.

St. Croix’s 11-foot Legend Surf Spinning rod in medium heavy is the best surf fishing rod for plugging, and an overall great spinning rod . The moderate fast action rod can handle lures from three to eight ounces, and the 11-foot reach gives them plenty of distance. Despite having enough backbone to stop the most powerful surf dwellers, the rod only weighs 13.8 ounces. And you won’t have to baby this stick either: The Legend Surf is built on a high modulus/high strain SCIV graphite blank, with nearly indestructible (and corrosion-proof) titanium guide frames.

Two coats of Flex-Coat slow cure finish add protection. A custom neoprene handle seems to provide more grip the wetter it gets, offering comfort and durability. The off-set, slim profile ferrules on two-piece models give the rod one-piece performance. And should the unthinkable happen (like a car door), the built-in-the USA Legend Surf is covered by St. Croix’s 15-year warranty.

St. Croix Avid Surf Casting is the best surf fishing rod for chunking.

It’s no secret when fish are finicky, homed in on specific baits, or when the water is muddy, chunking is the alternative to getting your line tight. Tossing the heavy payload of bait and sinker at distant rips, pockets, coves, cuts and breakers is best accomplished with a conventional or casting rod. Long casting rods have the sensitivity needed to feel the slightest finicky pickup and provide direct and stronger hook setting power and fighting leverage

My recommendation is to use a 10- to 12-foot conventional rod with ability to handle a long shock leader, and to cast bait and sinkers anywhere from six to 16 ounces. My preferred choice for best surf fishing rod for chunking is in St. Croix’s Avid series. The 11-foot conventional model can chuck three to eight ounces of bait and sinker out past the breakers. Titanium guide frames shrug off the rigors of saltwater, and soak up the bumps and bruises that can occur when anglers do battle in the surf zone. A classic cork tape handle is comfortable in-hand but is slick enough to easily slide out of sand spike at the first sign of a strike. St. Croix Avid series rods are designed and handcrafted here in the United States.

Tsunami Airwave is the best bang for the buck surf fishing rod.

Today’s fishing rod technology is rapidly changing for the better, giving surfcasters even more value for their dollar. Surf anglers can get a well-balanced rod with quality components, built by a reputable manufacturer, and backed by a premium warranty for short coin.

Tsunami Airwave Rods delivers the best bang for the buck surf fishing rod. They are built using strong and powerful high-density blanks, with braid-proof guides. The tough Fuji Hardloy guides provide extreme sensitivity and more resilience to transmit more power to each cast. Those looking for versatile rods should check out the 10-foot medium heavy model, which can handle a variety of plugs, tins, and lures up to four ounces. There’s also an 11-footer that can toss plugs and bait up to 5 ounces. Durable, non-slip, textured vinyl grips provide traction even when wet. Tsunami rods also offer a flexible warranty service when needed.

Q: What is the best rod and reel for surfcasting?

The best rod and reel combo for surf fishing is extremely durable and able to withstand the saltwater environment. Maintenance is important, but your casting rod and reel will be exposed to elements which can cause rust that and other malfunctions. A sealed reel, like those offered by Van Staal, prevents sand and saltwater intrusion. High performance rods such as the St. Croix Legend Surf series can deal with the rigors of pounding surf. Both rod and reel companies are backed with stellar warranties and customer service when needed.

Q: What is the best fishing rod for beach fishing?

When it comes down to high performance in casting and premium components like titanium guides, the 12-foot St. Croix Surf Legend surf rod is hard to beat. The two-piece rod fishes like a one piece, but it breaks down easily to serve as a travel fishing rod. As for chunking, my 12-foot St. Croix Avid is light and handles up to 16 ounces. This enables casting that can reach great distances with ease. These rods are also accompanied with 15-year warranty, making them my reliable fishing tools of the trade.

Q: What color line is best for surf casting?

The thin diameter of today’s advanced braided lines give surf anglers the ability to reach distant honey holes like offshore bars and deep pockets where fish feed. But these areas often draw crowds, and braided lines can tangle easily. When fishing in a congested spot, highly visible lines such as yellow or orange are desirable because they can easily prevent line crossing and untangling. Solo trophy hunters such as I favor low-visibility line (preferably moss green) because it is stealthier and minimizes the chance fish will see it. The use of fluorocarbon shock leader can be critical and necessary when fishing in gin clear water conditions where finicky, shy fish can see your line. Fluorocarbon’s invisibility and high abrasion resistance make it an excellent choice.

Share All sharing options for: Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev

Gagarin cup (khl) finals: atlant moscow oblast vs. salavat yulaev ufa.

Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final. While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut. Just reaching the Finals is a testament to Atlant's disciplined style of play, as they had to knock off much more high profile teams from Yaroslavl and St. Petersburg to do so. But while they did finish 8th in the league in points, they haven't seen the likes of Ufa, who finished 2nd.

This series will be a challenge for the underdog, because unlike some of the other KHL teams, Ufa's top players are generally younger and in their prime. Only Proshkin amongst regular blueliners is over 30, with the work being shared by Kirill Koltsov (28), Andrei Kuteikin (26), Miroslav Blatak (28), Maxim Kondratiev (28) and Dmitri Kalinin (30). Oleg Tverdovsky hasn't played a lot in the playoffs to date. Up front, while led by a fairly young top line (24-27), Ufa does have a lot of veterans in support roles: Vyacheslav Kozlov , Viktor Kozlov , Vladimir Antipov, Sergei Zinovyev and Petr Schastlivy are all over 30. In fact, the names of all their forwards are familiar to international and NHL fans: Robert Nilsson , Alexander Svitov, Oleg Saprykin and Jakub Klepis round out the group, all former NHL players.

For Atlant, their veteran roster, with only one of their top six D under the age of 30 (and no top forwards under 30, either), this might be their one shot at a championship. The team has never won either a Russian Superleague title or the Gagarin Cup, and for players like former NHLer Oleg Petrov, this is probably the last shot at the KHL's top prize. The team got three extra days rest by winning their Conference Final in six games, and they probably needed to use it. Atlant does have younger regulars on their roster, but they generally only play a few shifts per game, if that.

The low event style of game for Atlant probably suits them well, but I don't know how they can manage to keep up against Ufa's speed, skill, and depth. There is no advantage to be seen in goal, with Erik Ersberg and Konstantin Barulin posting almost identical numbers, and even in terms of recent playoff experience Ufa has them beat. Luckily for Atlant, Ufa isn't that far away from the Moscow region, so travel shouldn't play a major role.

I'm predicting that Ufa, winners of the last Superleague title back in 2008, will become the second team to win the Gagarin Cup, and will prevail in five games. They have a seriously well built team that would honestly compete in the NHL. They represent the potential of the league, while Atlant represents closer to the reality, as a team full of players who played themselves out of the NHL.

Atlant @ Ufa, Friday Apr 8 (3:00 PM CET/10:00 PM EST)
Atlant @ Ufa, Sunday Apr 10 (1:00 PM CET/8:00 AM EST)
Ufa @ Atlant, Tuesday Apr 12 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)
Ufa @ Atlant, Thursday Apr 14 (5:30 PM CET/12:30 PM EST)

Games 5-7 are as yet unscheduled, but every second day is the KHL standard, so expect Game 5 to be on Saturday, like an early start.

There is a wide range of surf rod lengths, but you'll want to focus on the 8-12 ft range. For those looking to target panfish closer to the shore, an 8 ft long rod will offer the best sensitivity.
