Surfcasting rod

Cross the rollers and reach the best spots from the seaside.

Surfcasting fishing is a demanding discipline that confronts the fisherman with the elements: sea wind, waves, powerful currents, and sand. To succeed in this technique and propel your baits more than 100 meters behind the rollers, the choice of your rod is decisive. The real pillar of your surfcasting equipment, the modern surfcasting rod is a concentrate of technology designed to combine casting power and bite detection.

Length and Power: The Basics of Surfcasting

To fly over the waves and keep a tight banner, the height of the rod is crucial:

Length: The standard is between 4.20 m and 4.50 m. The 4.20 m rods are ideal for medium-sized fishermen or for use on a breakwater, while the 4.50 m (and sometimes 5 m) provide maximum leverage for the beach and the use of very long lines.
Power: The classic casting range is 100g to 200g. This is the versatile power par excellence in France (Atlantic, Channel, Mediterranean) for propelling leaden grapnels or heavy gear. For calm sea summer fishing (surf-light), 80-150g models will work wonders.

The Choice of Blank and Rings

Faced with salt and sea spray, the quality of materials must leave no room for chance.

The Carbon Blank: Forget about the heavy and tiring fiberglass. Opt for High Modulus Carbon. It offers a thin, light, and nervous blank that compresses perfectly at launch.
The Rings (Fuji or Seaguide): They undergo the friction of nylon (or braided) loaded with sand. Low Rider or KW type rings (anti-tangling) equipped with SiC, Alconite or Torzite ceramics are strongly recommended for their glide and resistance to corrosion.

What type of tip and joint to choose?

The action of your rod will directly depend on its tip and design. To refine your choice, navigate our specific departments:

Are you facing the rough sea and strong currents? Opt for a rod with a tubular tip (hollow), queen of raw power.
Are you looking for extreme sensitivity to detect the slightest touch of sea bream in calm sea? Turn to a rod with a hybrid tip (full tip).
Are you a nomadic fisherman looking for reduced space and quick deployment? The telescopic rod is made for you.
