Saltwater Casting Rods

The new Okuma Rockaway SP Surf Rods are designed specifically for the SoCal surf perch fisherman.  Obviously these can be used anywhere an angler would like, but these rods are dialed in for what these anglers are looking for.  The lightweight and responsive 24/30-ton carbon rod blanks are sensitive, with enough backbone to really set the hook on the predators roaming the surf.

The components on the Okuma Rockaway SP rods are well thought out.  These rods are designed with a 50/50 tip over butt ferrule connection giving it a solid feel.  They feature SeaGuide XQ series 316-stainless steel deep press guide frames that are designed to protect the inserts from the rough elements of surf fishing.  The inserts themselves are Zirconium for both braided and monofilament lines.  The Rockaway SP also has a SeaGuide stainless steel hook keeper, as well as a minimalized EVA split grip configuration to bring down the weight and keep you casting all day up and down the beach.  Be sure to check out the entire lineup of Rockaway Surf Fishing rods.

All Rods are packaged with extreme care!

Being fisherman ourselves we take pride in not having rods break during shipping, to ensure they'll be enjoyed and fished. We make sure every rod is wrapped tightly with bubble wrap in the crucial areas and are suspended in a thick rod tube, to keep from being crushed or banged around.

Phenix Axis Conventional Rods are built with the latest materials and design for the strongest, lightest rods available. Our composite blends of S-Glass and T-16 carbon fiber offer powerful strength-to-weight ratios, while multi-helix construction makes our rods perfect for saltwater. With thin diameters and light materials, Phenix Axis Conventional Rods offer superior strength, responsiveness, and castability.

The 7'2" 2X Heavy and 3X Heavy are considered rail rods with a longer foregrip.  You may ask yourself "Why would I want a rod that long and that heavy?"  The longer rod is necessary for a rail rod because so much of the rod is fore grip.  When the fore grip is put on the rail, you may have only 4-5 feet of the rod actually fighting the fish.  The more rod you have outside the rail, on the water side of the rail, the more the fish has to fight.  This makes it much easier for the angler to fight the fish because the fulcrum is now the rail and not your arms.

We believe that Mr. Kantner would be pleased with the creativity and use of a variety of materials to continue on the tradition of leading the industry in innovation. The GUSA Premium is the most advanced, most innovative product to have ever come from the production shop at United Composites

The Daiwa Saltiga Jigging Rods are state-of-the-art custom rod designed for the many, highly effective Saltwater Jigging Techniques. The HVF Nanoplus Carbon Technology reinforces the blank through a micro-level arrangement of material in the plastic resin. This creates a smaller, lighter, more rigid blank.

The blank is powerful with impressive fish-stopping power despite the size. The X-45 Bias Construction provides greater strength and prevents twisting and ovalization upon bending. The innovative 3DX Carbon Fiber Material is an interwoven three-dimensional carbon fiber that is wrapped around the blank in manufacturing much like a skeleton.

This reinforcement with the 3DX hexagon shaped fibers enhances the compression, improves the flex strength and makes the blank action much faster. The Custom Dimple EVA Handle provides a sure, slip proof, grip especially important when jigging.

The Fuji Tangle Free Guides let the jigs drop with the minimum of resistance. Despite a reduced profile, the guides are strong and long wearing. The quality of materials and craftsmanship is evidenced by a 5-Year Limited Warranty.

If dropping a jig is your game, you better come with the best. Try Daiwa’s SALTIGA JIGGING rod, the much-anticipated addition to the flagship Saltiga line of saltwater fishing tackle.
