TOP 5 Surf Fishing Rods for 2024 Striped Bass , Bluefish , Jacks , Snook

[@stevengarcia7905]

Just wanted to comment about something. Fuck all those FB haters i saw how they hate on your posts. Acting like a bunch of bitches but good on you for commenting back with positive attitude. Those type of guys that act like they OWN fishing are the reason why people that actually want to learn how to fish don’t do it. You give people like myself more information that I need to become better at fishing. Thank you for what you do keep it up!!!

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Thanks man, I appreciate that. 🙌🏼 that means a lot! I’m glad you’re getting good info out of my video! 👏🏼

When I first started out I was using Penn rods and they were fine but I moved up to St. Croix Triumphs and wow what a difference. Like you I use 9' for back bays and the 10' for open surf. I pair it up with 4000 size Vanford and man its so light I can cast out all day. I just wished I moved up directly to the Seage line, I bet they're even better.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

Hey man, the Triumphs are great! When the time comes, get the Seage, no need to blow through a budget when you have something that works great already! The vanford is insane too! Such a great reel, and sooooo lightweight! I’ll have to try that combo some time! Good luck this season!!

[@peterlorenzo615]

Penn rods are absolute gems!!……Powerstick….Whatever surf rods they have….even an old 9weight fly rod….Lamii Ron Arra is my fave but I liove Penn rods …

Thank you very much!

You should have at least one japanese rod if you really like fishing.

[@uncletony3025]

Nah, carbon rods good for bass that’s about it.

[@jimmyfugitt695]

I have 2 Seage rods and like them very much, but the best surf rod I own is a Century Surf Machine 11'3" 1-6 oz. I highly recommend this rod. I paired it with a Shimano Ultegra CI4 14000 with Power Pro Maxcuratro line for maximum casting distance.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

I’m glad you like the Seage rods too! That max cuatro braid is no joke!!

[@jpg1789]

I got confused why you fish with an amazing and expensive rod but pair it with a cheap reel. Just asking because I’m a beginner and avid learner so I just got curious about that.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

What do you mean?

[@jpg1789]

@@GetReelBassFishing I mean that he might be wise to invest more money in the best rod (this one is 760.00) and less at the reel (300.00). We more often see the other way round.

[@fishwithme9245]

yes…i have 11ft, 3/4-5oz, very sensitive

[@ricksweetser1683]

Great video...can tell you really enjoy what you are doing and are sincere and honest. Just bought a Seage 10' 6" MH and looking to put either a Saltist MQ 6000 or 8000 on it. Will be fishing almost entirely around Puerto Vallarta and beaches south of there for Jacks, Roosters, Dorado, etc. with 2 to 4 oz lures. Think the 6000 with 40lb braid enough or should I step up to the 8000? There is a 6.6 oz difference in the weights and the 8000 maybe a bit heavy for it. By the way, I'm 72 years young and still going strong.

Thank you brother ❤I'm the beginner in this field what is different between surf fishing and bass fishing

[@Unplugged704]

I have the 10’6” Seage and love it! I went to Bass Pro to get the 9’. I saw 9’ MMF. However, I noticed the girth was not the same as the 10’6”…. The 9’ was thinner. But your video here the 9’ handle girth appears the same as the 10. Unless the 9’ I saw was ML. Which would make sense- thinner. I end up not buying it. Thoughts?

[@GetReelBassFishing]

The 10’6 is my favorite! So, I have the 9’ MMF, and the 10’ MMF. I’m not sure if the grip is the same size, however the blank is thinner. The 10’ upper 70% is very very loose on the 9’ lower 30%. The 9’ is great when fishing back bays and you don’t want to whip a 10’6 all day long. That’s what I use my 9’ for. Just as good as the 10’

[@onfirejayjay2529]

How do you feel about the Breakaway 13ft. HD-X? How do you feel about Breakaway in general? ( Pulley rigs, clip downs, etc)

[@OneAndOnlyChi]

Great info. I was hoping to fund some used freshwater gear at the show even though its mostly saltwater

I know you're a young guy so this might not be fair, what older surf rods from decades past are good to scoop up when we see them at garage sales and the likes and on CL and FB? Haven't gone surf casting since a teen in the 70s. Want to get some reliable good stuff at a reasonable entry point before spending stupid money until I'm Hooked... Get it... Hooked? LOL Brands that are always Great stuff, even from the 70s and 80s? Already picked up a Diawa 4000C in pristine condition for $35. Yeah.. So I'm old and LIKE old things! Thanks for sharing your experience. I already got my 4X4 Beach Fishing permit and getting all the other stuff to be legal; So MUCH STUFF. just to see if I'll like a more healthy way to get outside! Maybe Dinner too?

[@Simbad007]

You should try the lamiglas carbon surf heard they’re really good

[@ray8535]

Good videos man. I've got nothing but St Croix rods mainly bc of their warranty program. Im trying to pair a 5k Shimano Stradic with one of these Seage blanks. What size/action do you think would go well with that reel. I'm torn btw the 1 piece 8 ft or 2 pc 9 ft. I'll be the grab one combo and go to the beach type of deal for S FL ?

[@GetReelBassFishing]

I would do the 8ft. I just stopped at a shop to try out the 8ft Seage, I think with a 5k Stradic, a 9ft may be “too big”.

[@BoNo-q2s]

[@gennerobootz6490]

I remember when you first started, you were using the salt x

[@GetReelBassFishing]

I was using the SaltX. It was an outstanding rod! But the weight and feel of this new st croix seage, makes me stay with it instead of using my SaltX as much.

[@mattvail3190]

what do you think about the penn squadron 3 10 foot medium heavy?

[@cameronruff4118]

I’ve had it for abt 2 years now and it’s been working perfectly. I used it all fall run last summer and I’ve used it bait fishing from the surf. I’ve had no complaints so far great rod for the price

[@jclynch12]

Any thoughts on the 10’6” Seage Med Mod vs the 10’ Med ModFast you have? I’m only going to have one lure rod for the beach, and am thinking of grabbing the extra distance just in case I need it. But would it be a big difference?

[@GetReelBassFishing]

I haven't fished with the 10'6" MM but I have fished with the 10'6" MHMF - which is the rod that I lost when I got hit by the wave on the jetty, and the rod I caught the 52" on. I loved that rod. I wish I could get another 10'6" MHMF to be honest. I've held the 9' MM and it seemed pretty nice for swimming plugs, so I would assume the 10'6" feels the same, just a little bit longer.

[@jclynch12]

@@GetReelBassFishing thanks! Keep these videos coming.

[@jclynch12]

@@GetReelBassFishing actually could I ask a follow-up? The line rating on the 106MHMF is the same (20-50) as on the 106MM, so conceivably they could handle the same class of fish right? It’s just a matter of (1) how much power you have to horse it in; and (2) the weight of lure you can throw? (No. 2 is why I lean toward the MM; would like to be able to throw lighter lures farther…). Is that all right, in terms of rod physics, or am I misunderstanding something?

[@jpg1789]

I would go with the one he said. MHMF. I have the Seage 10.6 MM and I feel it a little too soft.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

overall, yes. If you want to throw lighter lures, and thinner gauge Hooks, use the MM, if you want to throw heavier lures like big bucktails with large wire gauge hooks, or larger metal lips, fish the MHMF (my preferred rod)

I wonder why you never tried a GSB Lamiglas which is a stripper classic.

[@GetReelBassFishing]

To be honest, I could never find one in the action I liked at any shop.

[@jpg1789]

@@GetReelBassFishing thank you so much for your answer buddy! I guess that you are talking about the GSB Medium Heavy. They only make the MH in one piece. Maybe that’s the reason why it’s harder to find it. Coincidentally I called them today after watching your video because I came up with a question. I bought a GSB moderate because I wanted to have one more rod beside my Seage MM. So I would still have a moderate but they have different specs. The GSB moderate is 2-6 oz lure/ The Seage MM is 3/4 - 4 oz. At the same time the GSB line is 17-40 and the Seage is 20-50. That’s my question, I mean double question: 1) is the GSB a good pair for the Seage? 2) the Seage goes up to 4oz (less than the GSB with 5oz) but the line go up to 50 and GSB up to 40. Isn’t that weird? I will love to receive your perspectives about all that!
