Have used more expensive rods, and I still cant find a rod that matches the feel and action of the Tica dolphin surf rod.

-9' or the 10'6" MH fast action.
VS-200 50# power pro
50# Ande mono LINE for leader... not leader material, just straight 50# mono for a leader...

Took my 3 biggest fish on my 9' rod in heavy heavy surf... totally in control... biggest was 43.10 pounds
I do however remember the night I had my a.ss handed to be by a bass that was not stopping...

I was looking at a VS 300 at bass pro, and honestly, the places I fish I would never use that thing... friggin huge...
