Surf Combo Under $300

[4liters]

BCF is usually last resort, or if you need it in a hurry.

don't be at all surprised if your still using it in 10+ years some of them cheap rods are built like a tank.

but for $179 i am thinking of getting more Penn Prevail's but will not be getting them at my local BCF

as there $240

I was looking at the Penn Prevail Surf Rods at BCF online earlier today.

The current Club Member price is reduced to $188: http://search.bcf.com.au/search?w=penn% ... surf%20rod

There is also currently an online code for $30 off when you spend $150 Expires 31/1/2016 Code: BCFSAVE30

I tested the code and it actually brings these rods down to $158 :a_goodjob:

Cheers

Dinga did have the penn 850 ssm reel for $69, added it to my cart went to pay and it went out of stock! Got it from bcf for 30 more but i have a storefront if something goes wrong.

With the internet today it pays to shop around, there are always sales and specials on

My Aerowave Graphite came today.... MmmmmMMM it's a sexy rod !

I've always had fibreglass surf rods and biggest was 12 ft. This 13ft Graphite rod is bloody awesome, can't wait to put it through it's paces.

Well worth the cash spent :banana:

just don't put a nick in it as they ain't as robust as fiberglass rod

Update: this is my first Graphite surf rod. Seeing as I fish pretty much 100% from my kayak for the last 2 odd years and am used to just dropping baits over the side, I was certain my casting left a lot to be desired.

I took the rod along with my Aerlex 8000 spooled with 40lb Sunline to the local footy field and tied on a size 3 star sinker. Took 4 casts with my best being bang on 100 steps which I measured with a tape measure to be about 1m per step.

I know a lot of others probably cast out miles further but considering I haven't had to cast so far in a long time and with more practice I reckon I can get well beyond that.

I didn't want to load up the rod too hard initially so I was a little timid with my casts admittedly however looking forward to get right into it soon.

I did notice how much lighter, sharper and crisper it felt compared to my 12ft K-Mart jobbie.

This is now my overall new favourite rod

Thanks everyone for their feedback.

Now I may be heading out this weekend to give it a proper go if anyone is keen :super:

100 is fine to hit pretty much any of the popular spots we talk about on here mate.

Glad you like the aeroweave.
