I have a tsunami in classifieds for 50$.Nice rod.Accurate rating.Very light.I like it just don't have any reels for it.I may take it off the list and grab a 711 for it.

I picked up an airfwave 11' over the Winter. Can't wait to use it. Check Ebay, as there are lots of them on there- I got mine from Harleerod (ebay seller), cost me about 80 with shipping. Shop them around and you will find a deal. The St. Croix seems nice and I think they have a decent warranty too(? ) See what feels right to you. I have read good things about both in these forums. Check out the Lami Surf Kings and Tica Dolphins in this price range too. Good luck.

I've got the 9' St Croix Triumph, and so do 2 of the guys I fish with. Great rods, nice action, quality of a much more expensive rod at an affordable price point. Mine's paired with a VS 150, not sure what the other guys have on , but mine balances nicely.
The warranty is worth it - managed to crack mine (think it got stepped on) - dropped it off at the SaltwaterEdge, and they had me a new one in less than a week.

I have the 8' and 9' Triumph...love both of them but the butt of the 9 is a little long for me so I may knock 3 or 4 inches off of it....depends on how you like them... good reviews here though..

The St.Croix is a decent rod also.I have the 10ft triumph surf, seems a little stiff to me but I haven't really put it to the test hard enough to say.Took a little more work than necessary to work a Pencil.
