Re: Surf report- I caught one ! 11/15/21:
The lower end st croix rods are garbage. The higher end sticks are waaaaay better. Check out the shadow surf line from tackle world. I have the 10'6 and can launch an SP or 1.5 oz bucktail like a dart launched out of a cannon. It's a tad light for heavier metal lips and such but anything from 1.25 to 2.5ish oz can be seriously launched. I've beached 25 lb bass on it but got taken to church by the one that got away 2 seasons ago. Too light a rod and too weak a reel the turn the beast. Wound up shearing some vital reel components as the beast dumped my spool at 18 lbs of drag lol
