Surf Rods
Two-piece surf rods, which is the honest answer to a hard problem: a one-piece 10-foot blank ships as oversize freight and costs more to send than it does to make. Break it in half and it goes in a normal parcel.
These rods are saltwater rods. The reels we sell separately are not: every one is freshwater-rated by its manufacturer, and the largest size either of our suppliers carries is a 3000. They will fish surf perfectly well if you rinse them after every trip in salt. If you want a sealed saltwater reel in a 4000 or 5000, buy it elsewhere, or take a Daiwa D-Wave combo, which arrives as a matched saltwater rod and reel.
