Surf Rod and Saltwater Spinning Reel Combo

Surf rod and spinning reel combo.This surf rod and spinning reel combo is ready to equip anyone from a complete beginner to an advanced veteran of the surf. A great value for any buyer, it is ready to grow with an angler's skills and take on whatever lurks in the surf near shore. The reel is of an easy-to-handle spinning design that will be especially appealing to those who have trouble with baitcasters. At the same time, it is burly enough to stand up to just about anything that might be found near shore, with a 44-pound drag being capable of wearing out even the most tenacious shore-hugging fish. The reel's 4.3:1 gear ratio makes it easy to get lures up to speeds that will catch the attention of predators, ensuring that the bait will stand out among the crashing waves. With six stainless steel bearings and a main shaft of the same material, the reel will resist corrosion as well as any other saltwater tackle, particularly when it is properly cared for. The reel's strong, light aluminum handle and comfortable PVC knob also make it easy to keep cranking for hours. The CNC-milled aluminum spool can hold 265 yds. of 40 lb. mono and as much as 310 and 355 yards of 35 lb. and 30 lb. test, respectively. The rod included with this saltwater rod and reel combo is perfectly suited for surf-casting, too. At ten feet in length, the two-piece rod will allow even beginners to launch heavy lures hundreds of feet. The reel seats and guide stems will also resist corrosion, while EVA grips contribute further to casting comfort and six double-wrapped guides help keep casts true and on target. Although not strictly meant as offshore tackle, the combo can even put to use to place lures farther from a boat when miles out. Retail: $275.00
