rod for surf

my 2 c after 2 surf fly fishing seasons, the learning curve will take you to a fast /stiffer action to pick up line off the water with a large fly and sling it like a whip after .
the fast action/stiff rod will let you develop a good line speed to fight the ever present wind.[you will also learn to fish with the wind] a 10 wt is better for the surf a 9 wt is a good also rod for backbay, BUT once you are on the beach youll think sh%t wish I had a stiffer F$%ng rod! F$%^ng wind ! .......if you listen to the "casters" youll end up with a soft rod you can "learn" to get pis%ed off at! LOL

I have a yellowstone 9wt FAST action rod that is like a flag pole, but for the 3ft tip and that thing could throw a line a mile, $ 180 ....lifetime guarantee

i also have a "not wasting time anymore" xi2 10wt sage that is everything!! people say it is, makes fly fishing all about the moment not F%$#g rod !
its worth the $$$ for the fun and reliability.
