*I like the way it feels **enjoyable.fishing** recommend and cast, time will tell I only used it once but it seems to work well....*

I have an 11 foot daiwa ft rod and I recently caught a 4 foot shark and a stingray with it. I was using 50 lb line but once you set the drag right u can avoid breaking the rod. Strong rod for 25 bucks

Gonna put a Penn Pursuit IV on one of those 10’ Daiwas tomorrow and try it out this weekend down at Orange Beach!

[davecourington]

Great video Phil! Thanks for the breakdown on each rod. This kind of video makes it easy to pick out something decent in any price range.

Love you videos! I recently purchased a Diawa BG 6500 reel and was looking to buy a rod for it. Which one do you recommend? Thanks

[brentnanita]

For the type of fishing I do, a 50lb class 10ft FTU conventional casting rod is my favorite.

[dondonynfante]

What you think about the phenix diamond black surf rods ?

[bobk.]

I use the Ugly Stik Big Water 10’ for surf fishing. Yea, it may be a little heavy for pomp’s but I’m prepared for almost anything

[faizalchannel]

Pernah guna upro 9 kaki, 1 tahun, terakhir guna terus patah masa lontaran batu saiz 4....tengah cari pengganti rod baru, cadangan 10-12 kaki..

Just because it's inexpensive does not mean it's cheap in quality. The FT is an excellent fiberglass rod and better than all the others listed.

[ЕкатеринаЕрмоленко-рб]

This is what I have been after. It is good looking and durable.

[jonathanfilms]

I personally use them ugly stiks big waters and tigers i havent broke any yet best bang for your buck in my opinion strong ass back bone and can take a beating for years and years i still use the older versions of the big waters too the all black and yellow striped one might be heavy but you get used to it and if u do hook a monster your pretty much set

[itllkeal]

I'll stick with my Shimano 400s on a 7'³" Shimano rod and if I cant get out far enough I may use my bass pro 10ft surf powerplus with my penn liveliner or just my kingcat reel but I doubt it. I do look forward to trying out the 10ft rod on some paddlefish though but I don't like the weight of a big pole whenever I can use a light one that handles bigger fish

[HuntStewTV]

The Ocean Master is a great budget option as well

[stevedupree]

How does the TFO 10’6” MH compare to the Bummy Stick? I’m looking for an all around rod to fish baits and lures.

[robertstrickland]

Will throw some out there from my personal experience:
Carolina cast pro: long distance caster and former world runner up in an event name I can’t quite remember, Tommy Farmer, has his own rods out now. Available in several lengths from light 10 ft to heavy 13 ft heavers. Owned one of his blanks for a while and has been great for me
Daiwa tournament ballistic: a higher end factory rod that I have seen with a lot of usage at the outer banks (if you like the color green, there is an exclusive model only sold at RDT that really looks nice).
And for the heck of it, I’ll throw century rods out there. I don’t own one myself, but the people crazy enough to drop $1000 on a surf rod alone really seem to say good things about them😬😬😬

[williamcox]

Great timing on this video. I am looking into replacing a rod.

[mullisoutdoors]

Very informative Phil! Excellent Video!!

[forevernowjp]

nothing here really beats the assassin horizon zero championship edition 15ft rods, if you can get your hands on one i highly recommend

When they rate line specs, is that mono rate it or line rating in general whether it is braid or mono.
