Berkley 8’ Big Game Spinning Rod, Two Piece Surf Rod, 12-30lb Line Rating, Medium Heavy Rod Power, Moderate Fast Action, 1-4 oz. Lure Rating

good and cheap

Amazing Berkeley Rod. Paired with a size 5000-7500 reel “I used an 6000” and you can shore, surf, pier or jetty fish with confidence. Love the white color it helps see big hits late at night and it’s very sturdy. Its tip is not as fast as an ugly stick but no where near as stiff as a down-rigger or jigging or trolling rod. With 20 lb line I was consistently tossing 40-60 yard casts easily with no worry of popping the line or snapping the rod with both 2 and 3oz weights and I would not hesitate to use 4oz as well. I casted bunker on large striper circle Hooks size 5/6 and 7 hooks so nice chunks and also whole squid and whole belly clams and it’s seems to cast the same distance unlike if it was a very soft fast flimsy tip which seems to cast farther with lighter bait and poor cast with heavy bait. This rod doesn’t care what on the end of the hook and cast equally impressive. Landed a larger stripper first nite out from a jetty and landed 2 huge sand sharks approaching 20lbs and the Rod handled them with ease. Ordering another one and going to pair it with a penn 7500 reel with bait runner. Just to good of a Rod to not have 2. This finishes my salt water package now with two 8’ three 7’ one 9’ and one 10’. After falling for these 8’ I’ve relegated my trusty 7’ foot rods to lure only like poppers and sp minnow and spoons. They seem to cast better with lures and the extra 1’ and stiffness of this 8’ berkley makes me feel confident that even a 40+ pound stripper is coming home with me and I’m not losing the rod or line or reel. Sometimes I don’t want to fish with a 10’ or even a 9’ Rod as they are big and clumsy and I don’t need 75-100 yard cast. 8’ is the perfect size to be nimble yet have the same ability in power as a nice 9 or 10’ with only minuscule less casting distance. It does make you feel a lot more secure versus having a 7’ which even ugly sticks and a nasty big gorilla blue or cow stripper I’ve seen them snap in two love this rod!!!! Thanks Berkley for such a great rod and I’m a customer for life

Exelente producto, ya la probé la volveré a comprar

This rod is good. It is a bit heavy but I'm fine with it good for in a boot and I have already pulled in a good size pike. I have 65 lb braid. The braid goes through the eyelets nicely. If you want something to cast far from the shore buy a surf rod. This rod is made for a boat

Se siente fuerte y vigorosa, espetó así sea cuando la use.

A great 8ft medium heavy rod at a great price.perfect for the river.
