I've owned 2 Tsunami rods. The action of the rod blank awesome. Give it a few years and the rest will fall apart - guides will turn to crap, etc. I had Grumpy's spin up a custom rod for me and it really made a difference. I definitely outcast most and thats with a rod a little under 10 ft. I've stood on the Avon jetty which is at least 100 ft' short of the Belmar jetty and have outcasted those standing on the Belmar jetty. Fisherman always turn around to see what / who in the hell is casting that far. When you get a custom rod done right, they will see how you cast, what reel you want to buy and will adjust the setting of the eyes based on the reel and the distance of the reel placement from the bottom of the butt based on how you cast. Kevin B. referred me to him. Kevin builds all of my other rods except surf. Grumpy's knows their stuff.
I've got a ODM blank paired with a Saragosa 5000. The goose is a workhorse.
