I picked up a orvis zero gavity rod this spring and like it a lot. (9wt) I keep it in the vehicle and take it out when the conditions are ripe for fly rod ( light winds and fish right on the beach) otherwise it stays in the truck. I hate fighting the elements with fly gear, that is what they make surf rods and 3.5 oz plugs for. I have gotten a few decent bass on them and they seem to hold up OK to the elements.
I only own 4 fly rods/reels, and I am not really a hard core fly guy...the first stick I grab is a 10' surf rod... but I have to say catching albies on fly rods are such a hoot and I think anyone who hooks a good size albi on one gets hooked on flyrodding pretty fast. It is a lot of fun.
