A friend of mine is looking for a 9ft surfcasting rod for $100 or under, any recommendations? I have used the Diawa sealine rods with good success.

lokk at the Ticas

For the dough I'll second the Tica rods, your buddy will have a lil extra dough too for a pair of korkers, or a kayak dry top.

Tica Dolphin. I think the 9' runs around $80.

I like the ticas as well, I have a 10 footer myself. I will let him know..thanks!:kewl:

I'd vote for the Tica too.....

I don't know from 9 footers, but I have a 10' Diawa Sealine and my brother has a 10-6 Tica. I have used both and I like the Diawa better. Faster and lighter. Now it might be different with the new Tica Dolphin...

That 10-6 Tica is a pool cue.

Fenwick Saltstick I think is $99.

Tica Dolphin. I think the 9' runs around $80.
Another vote for Tica Dolphin
