What SPECS TO LOOK FOR in Surf Perch Rods

This episode is all about the details on what makes a good surf perch rod for Calissas and Carolina Rigs. We go over lure weight, line rating and a few other topics such as how much line to let out for a cast. Not bad for the first skunk vid on the channel.

Can’t wait to try that rod again! Forgot you brought the prototype when you visited us here

[@MoreThanFishing]

@@Hook2Cook yes that’s the rod that I was working on but that was the first prototype and I made some few adjustments and after few more prototypes, I finally came out with the one I really like. Hopefully you’ll like the rod

First time coming across the videos I appreciate all your help and also the fact that you were humble in your ways of teaching speaks volumes. The rod when casting there’s like a trebuchet catapulting that lure.

[@iancurzon2472]

Great content, enjoy watching all of your videos. Truly appreciate the wide variety of fishing methods and product reviews your channel provides! Looking to upgrade rod and reel very soon! Was able to get my hands on the Trifecta Lite 903 with the intention of only throwing the calissa 110. I have no doubt after watching some of your videos and others posted that the Trifecta Lite can handle large striped bass and slab perch. My concern is how the rod will preform on the North Coast.. wave power seems to be a bit stronger, concerned this will decrease rod sensitivity and lead to potential damage of the rod itself. Any input in that regard? Any further suggestions on a reel that would complete this set up? Tried lots of reel combos and the foot of the reels doesn’t fit the insert of the trifecta lite, a bit concerning. Had my eyes on a Diawa Vanford 4000 any thoughts?

[@achalabian87]

I like my 9 ft gx2 medium on a kastking harky 3 4000 size reel spooled with #10 mono. Have landed many varieties of fish so far

[@bumpedhishead636]

For a budget Surf Perch rod, you might want to look at the Daiwa North Coast and Acculite rods. I have been very happy with my Daiwa Acculite ACSS962MFS, 9'6", 3/8 - 1 oz, Medium. It's fairly cheap, MSRP is $70, but it can be a little hard to find. I got lucky and found mine online for $50.

What size weights are you using with your Acculite? Curious if it can handle 2oz?

[@bumpedhishead636]

@@whiterangerrr I have thrown 2 oz on the Acculite, but I typically use 1 oz. I have a beefier Ugly Stick that I use when I want to throw 2 or 3 oz. The Ugly Stick was terrible with the lighter 5/8 oz jerk baits like the Calissa.

[@edquier40]

Skunk is not bad, you are still fishing and that is the plan for the day, catching is just the cherry on top. I have surf rods that I do not like very much, the reel is way too far up the rod for comfort. I wind up using a casting rod and cut off the first eye and that works for me.

[@thelinecook]

I’ve never been surf perch fishing but boy that looks fun. It seems like you always have some fish you can catch on the surf year round. It’s so interesting the specs on the rod you use for this type of fishing. And it always shocks me that those little perch mouths eat that calissa! Thanks for the knowledge Edward 🤙

[@jaaron2834]

The weather has been pretty good for surf fishing at Ocean beach SF these past several days…. I use a Lamiglas x-11 10’ 6” salmon / steelhead conventional rod w/ Piscifun Alijoz… 30lb. braid …. It’s like a mini surf rod… I can heave everything you mentioned a lot further than a spinning rig… if you’re using any salmon/ steelhead rod .. it should be able to handle any fish at the beach in our surrounding area

[@Hook2Cook]

Agreed! With enough line capacity, you can wear out the toughest of fish around here in case you. Snag a ray or something 😜. Brought in 2 big rays using a 3000 series kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5e1pIKFm7eja80

[@srsgamer728]

This video was posted at the perfect time! I’ve been spending all week thinking about changing my setup for the surf. Would you say this setup and line ratings are good for halibut too?

[@Hook2Cook]

Yessir! As long as you’re using these techniques. The rod at the end sounds like it could be the best in terms of variety of applications for one rod. The first two are pretty much good for jerkbaits

[@SHTRU]

try Rockaway SP 8'6" this one is in the Okuma Rockaway series

[@stevensuhar8302]

I have 30 rods and reels give or take. I can outcast all of them with a 6'6" medium action, 8-20 lb. Ugly Stik I picked up for 20 bucks on clearance. I have expensive surf rods, and other than the angle, they suck. Surf perch are 50' out anyway and a 7.3 to 1 baitcaster absolutely smokes slow spinning reels. Switching to spinners or plugs is a breeze. People stare, I don't care. You have great content and knowledge for sure!

[@fishbusters1046]

The TRL-1003ML-2 its more resistance then trl-s903ml-2? Or its the same rod?

[@mylesm3853]

Thank you for your videos. How far can you throw the calissa? Wondering if I should change to briad. Also can you throw your baitcaster as far as your spinning setup? Thanks

[@Hook2Cook]

average cast is maybe 30 yards. no wind, great conditions maybe 60 yards. Give braid a try. you wont go back. I used to throw baitcasters in the surf, but too many issues in that rough environment.

Ha...funny seeing my comment on your screen. For sharing sake.... I recently got the Daiwa North Coast 902MHFS for surf perch. Definitely recommend if the okumas and other popular budget rods aren't available. Feels great hooking onto even the smallest perch. Paired with 30lb braid and BG4000 reel (for now). Casts well with any perch setup. Still looking for my first striper and halibut.

Very cool! yea bro thank you for all the engagement. it really means a lot. held that north coast. it was a prize in our tournament. feels good

[@vladd5291]

Thanks! Great video! I’m planning to try your strategy with my float/spin salmon rod that’s a super bendy 12’6” rod. Any light plugs you’d recommend? The rod’s rated for 1/32 to 5/16 oz lures.

I have two at www.HOOK2COOK.shop. It’s the calissa 110(5/8oz) and the battlestar 115(3/4oz) let me know how that rod does

[@williamjones3603]

I like the pole. It’s a fresh water pole though and requires maintenance after fishing.

[@MikeDIY]

Hey love the vids! I'm looking at picking up an Okuma Signature Voyager Travel Rod and I'm thinking about either the 9m or 10mh. I'm leaning towards the 10 in case if I want to go with a heavier weight and I read the 9's tip is too flimsy. I'll be surfing out on the coast near Oceano for mostly perch. Thanks man! Best surf fishing videos ever!

[@MikeDIY]

The 10' is rated at 1-4 OZ and the 9' is 3/4-2 OZ

[@Hook2Cook]

Hard to say! Depends on what you do most. The 9ft would be adequate and may handle the smaller jerkbaits better with that 3/4 lure rating… it has to be a travel rod?

[@MikeDIY]

@@Hook2Cook Yeah, It has to be a travel rod unfortunately. I've got kids and a packed trunk most of the time. I used to kayak fish, but no time for that now so I'm looking for something I can cast out when the kids play on the beach or maybe the rare early morning solo mission on the weekend . I just picked up some of the calissa lures you recommended. Thanks! I'd probably be fine with the 9' 2oz max, but something in me wants the 10' rod and thought maybe it would help cast out further if I'm not using waders. I've gone surf fishing out at oceano and avila half a dozen times and never got a bite, hoping to catch some perch!

Would I be okay pairing one of those with 30lb braid and a medium/light salmon steelhead rod?

[@stevef8065]

A few questions.....I am sure with a more finesse rod the Calissa and similar lures will cast further than a heavier rod - Correct? Approx how far do you think the Calissa can be cast with that Okuma? (just a rough estimate)......the Okuma you recommended is rated 1/4 - 1/2 oz lure ....the Calissa is 5/8 oz.....that is over the specs. Will that over stress the rod over time? Would that Okuma Celilo hold up with a light weight Carolina rig and would a Carolina rig that light be effective in the surf? Can you please post a link to the website you recommended with the wave strength forecast? Ed, thank you for your channel it has certainly brought me up to speed in surf fishing.

[@Hook2Cook]

the okuma celilo 9' 6 is perfect. if set up right with a 3-4000 reel 30# braid 30 yards average cast. and no, dont carolina rig as it will weaken over time

[@anderson8869]

Awesome video! Do you find the Trifecta lite 903 to be tip heavy with the reel or is it balanced? I've tried lesser expensive rods from other manufacturers in the 9ft range and they are super tip heavy..... hard to fish for hours without tiring out.

[@Hook2Cook]

The trifecta lite series is probably the best balanced rod you can find. The Achilles heal of that rod is the small lure weight options. Most of them have a half ounce range so they’re very specific. Ie: the 1003ml everyone wants only casts 1/4-3/4 ounce. But if you know you’re only throwing the 110 all day, it’s a nice rod

[@anderson8869]

@@Hook2Cook Thanks for your response. Just ordered the 902, 903 & 904. I live in the northeast so I'd like to use these both on the CT coast but also in the rivers for smallmouth etc. I think I'm most excited to get the 902 just because I'll be probably using that most often.

[@c.lanceboling9550]

What is your thinking on high visibility braided line in the surf?

[@Hook2Cook]

Not enough benefits to justify the downside if you snap your leader and happen to need to go all braid, it’ll be unnatural. It’s not like you need a strike indicator or be ultra precise out there. Unless you’re going for a super finicky fish in calm water and need to keep an eye on your line go green.

[@kgimbal]

so do use one rod for your lures and a different rod for carolina rig? Is there a rod that would be good for both - lure weight rating-wise?

[@Hook2Cook]

I used to use one rod per technique but I use the okuma Hawaiian custom now. It’s rated from 1/2oz-2oz. 10’7” length
