for rods i would stay with a company that mainly makes rods as their primary focus.

for rods that wont break the bank, I loved my lami surfking 11ft, it was rated 3 to 8oz, which is a joke, it thru loaded redfins to 5oz grs plugs, was a great surf rod for the money.

the TFO rods are really popular and so are the star stella rods. Ive never fished either one.

Stay away from the Mojo rods, to many issues, cheap guides that are angled the wrong way, and lots of issues with the handles/grips.

Plenty of options really only limited by budget and what you are planning on throwing and areas you fish.

always lots of killer used gear here to in the classifieds

Thank you for the advice on brands. With my Baitcasters. I love my shimano curados. Im just not to keen on there saltwater products.
