Comparing 2 Surf Rods
Message:
2 surf rods I'm trying to compare are the Sea Striker Beach Runner 7' 6" and Daiwa Emcast 7'.
Both are able to cast with the lighter balsa lures I use and can handle 10 pound mono line. The heaviest lures I cast with when going after smaller fish are just over 1 ounce.
A few features and specs I'm looking for are sensitivity for feeling the fish strike, short rear grip, strong material, lightweight, and casting.
I've made up my mind that I'm not gonna bother with braid. 2 monos I now use for surf fishing that give me good casting and sensitivity are Suffix Siege and Suffix Tritanium.
But as for the 2 rods, which one do you surf fishermen feel I'm better off with?

I'd go with the bit of extra length. I've got several 7 ft daiwa rods on my boat, but for the beach, even light lures, I like the extra 6"-1'. I was thinking about doing some ultra light Striper fishing on an 11' noodle rod. 2lb. IGFA record is about 22lbs. Ande IGFA line and unweighted Zoom Flukes. Probably be losing lots of gear :D

So I guess what you're saying is instead of the 7 foot Daiwa, go with the extra 6 inches on the Beach Runner so I can get the features I'm looking for.
