#8682, "RE: Surf rods -- Does Size Matter ;-)" In response to In response to 1
My experience has always been that one doesn't need great distance for sucessful perchin'.
I've nailed some nice slabs just feet from my feet! I like my Fenwick HMXS 9'0" Salmon/Steelhead Rod because its super sensitive and does allow me the ability to avoid picking up alot of salad and soup distortion in the inside breaker zone.
I own a 7'6" Shimano V Rod that is a real kick also. But I just like the extra fast taper that my Fenwick gives me with that length.
Don't feel too bummed about not doing well lately. Conditions have sucked the past few weeks.
