I always wondered if anyone ever casted their surf rod right into the ocean by mistake, and never got it back... I'm sure it has happened, but those arent the stories that we are quick to share! I have had some CLOSE calls when washed off a rock and while swimming... with a black rod and reel, good luck finding it even in 3 feet of white water! The thought of casting 1,000 dollars into the ocean is scary!

So.... anyone?

Bought my first surf rod three years ago in ocean city maryland. got some line and some plastic chad. Hotel on Ocean I'm at surf line casting. venture in up to waist casting, waves come in i jump and again. Mamouth wall of water easy 8' knocked me and rod into ocean. 57$ fishing rod saved lost 500$ eyeglasses.

Got swept off a rock last season. Setup went in the drink. Lost my mind. Waited for dead low. Grabbed my gear and went home.

Toaster816 has a story like this, the short of it was, fishing solo at night in big surf, makes a cast proceeds to get hit by a wave and washed away cause he only weighs 87 pounds with boots on, drops the rod in surf, its gone, goes back to his truck, sleeps for a few hours, goes back at day break and low tide, the darter and line had swept in and go tangle in some debris, follows it to his vs/legend combo!! Goes home, washes it down, rinses the reel, checks the guides and has been using it ever since.

About 20yrs ago I was fishing pogy chunks and I had to take a leak so I prop up my rod with a pile of rocks and go into the woods to to do my business.As I'm walking back I see my rod starting to double over and promptly come out of my little rock pile and enter the ocean never to be seen again.

I rarely bait fish anymore but on the rare occasion when I do the rod is in a good quality sand spike.And I haven't drank and fished in many years anyway which eliminates the need to go for a walk.
