Daiwa BFSF902MHRS Beefstick-SF Spinning Surf Rod

Planning a trip to the Texas coast in July. Going to spend most of my time surf fishing this time instead of fishing the channels. I needed a spinning surf rod for my Okuma bait feeder reel. After doing a lot of research, decided to go with the Beefsticks.TackleDirect was the only store that had them in stock. Was worried about the shipping after reading the horror stories from other sites about the rods being broken. TackleDirect does it right. The tubes that they ship the rods in are indestructible. I will purchase all my future rods from them. They are awesome! The rods? So far so good. Have not used them yet, but Beefstick definitely means Beef! From playing with them, I think I could haul a car in out of the surf. The rods are a heavy rod, made for chunking heavy bait. Quality seams awesome. Will no more at the end of July.

using this rod to surf fish for sharks. heavy duty rod. for the money it is hard to beat. i wouldn't suggest using it for casting lures all day but to hurl bait out a good distance and leaving it, it will do the job. don't expect this to be a life long rod, you will probably get 2 or 3 years of good use. but for the price buy a new one in a few years if you need to

Great rod for your dollar great feel, and power.

I bought this rod to start surf fishing the Florida panhandle. I have caught pompano, shark, gulf kingfish, bull redfish among many others on this rod. It has performed great usually paired with a Shimano Spheros 5000 reel using 20lb braid. I highly recommend this rod to someone looking to get into surf fishing. Since I have become a more experienced surf fisherman, I bought a Shimano tiralejo. The Tiralejo is in another league regarding casting distance, sensitivity, but also in price.

Great rod for under 50 bucks. It is sensitive and cast well.

This rod at this price is the very best bang for you buck there is.....period!! Stout rod, with plenty of strength, and back bone for long cast with heavy weight+bait and for fightinh those big fish. I have 2 of thses rods for heavy surf fishing here on the outerbanks of NC. It is comforting to know that when I have a big red drum on, that I do not have to worry about this rod at all, so I can concentrate on fighting the fish and the drag. I will be buying more of this rod in the future. I am also recommending this rod to all my surf fishing buddies as well.

inexpensive rod. have not had fish on yet but curious as to durability

I think this rod will give the ugly stick a run for the money!

nice rod for somebody that doesn't surf fish that much not wanting to spend a whole lot of money
