Tsunami TSTSC 1002H Trophy Surf Casting Rod

Nice light rod. Plan to match with Penn SLAIII6500 for bait fishing or Penn SSV6500BLS for plugging the Atlantic. Just waiting for April 15th (opening day for stripers in NY) to put it to work.

Beast of a surf rod.

Good looking rod, seems well built and lets me cast far.

I originally got this just for a rod to mess around with for cocktail blues or tiny bass under a bridge when they were migrating. after a couple uses, I realized this is waaay too stiff for my liking. so instead i ended up using it as a fluke + flounder rod off the jetties. even if stated as a heavy rod, should still allow some bend. feel like i'll snap the rod before i let the rod dip 20 degrees.

12’ length is great for casting and with the extra heavy action lets you use plenty of lead and bait.

This is my third Tsunami surf rod and so far seems to be my best one yet. Very lively but with plenty of backbone. Casts easily. I prefer the two piece design so I can transport them easily, definitely helps with a 10ft rod and 4 door sedan. The eyes are strong and cast braid very well.

Going to have fun with this stick. Perfect for what I'm fishing for thanks.

Bought two shield 4000 reels. Absolute trash and ended up throwing both of them away after about a month. However I thought there rods were pretty good. Then on a recent trip to the keys I had TWO tsunami rods break. One broke on a mangrove snapper. A tiny mangrove snapper.. and the other broke while casting out a 6oz weight for a trolley rig. The rod was rated to ten ounces and a six ounce weight snapped it. To top it off there customer service is non existent and they don’t respond to emails or phone calls. Avoid tsunami at all costs.

Great surf rod for the price. This is a cheap, but GREAT rod. Rod handles fish great and the 50/50 split for the 2 piece makes it very easy to put away without it taking up too much room.

I actually use this rod with an Okuma trio rex reel and love it for chunk fishing. Handles blues and stripers with no problems. Actually went out and bought a 2nd one for my brother.

Rods look and feel great . Can't wait to use them

I bought this 7ft 2 piece rod as a second inshore rod after having used and liked my larger Tsunami rod. Very good for the price, nice and lively. It's a little lighter action than I thought, but works out fine for throwing anything up to about 2-2.5oz. Nice build quality and a good thin grip with a large butt knob. Reel seat is quality too, I use with a 4000 series penn reel, which is a little too big for this rod but was given to me.

Paired this rod with a Tsunami Shield reel for a light surf set up

I bought this rod for my dad for father's day and when I got it in the mail and looked at it I couldn't believe how nice of a finish it had, has kind of a carbon fiber look to it and how light of a 2 piece rod it was when i put it together! If your looking to do some serious surf fishing but don't want to spend an arm and a leg the tsunami trophy series is the way to go! Has a very grippy textured cork tape handle that feels really nice in the hand, feels more like a one piece rod than a 50/50 split with alot more backbone, and of course for those who like big guides instead of the really small one like you see on the other rods, this rod has them! He has this rod paired with an older reel but yet pretty big a penn 7500ss with 30lb braid fishing with a bottom rig (4oz pyramid) and he said it casts ultra smooth oh and the rod is a medium heavy. 1 other feature about this rod I forgot to put out there was it has kind of a matte black finish at the break down portion of the rod to help assemble and take apart the rod for traveling which I thought was pretty cool cause no other rod i know of has that . Sorry for all the random sentences, but hope this helps!

Purchased this rod for use at the cape cod canal. Happy with the quality, can not wait for spring. Experimenting a little, rod appears capable of handling the heavy jigs 3-6 oz I use.
