Shimano Endura 12' Surf Rod 2 piece, 12ft, 6-10 kg. NB: the reason for looking at this is because i already have Slammer 702 st matched up to an abu garcia soron stx20, & the Slammer 701 gbh 10-15kg rod for offshore fishing & they have never faulted me yet. I currently only have 2 rods im looking at atm, them being the: the reel i would be using for it would be a shimano baitrunner 8000D spooled up with 50lb power pro braid (yes i know, overboard with the lb but i also use this reel for offshore kingfish fishing & ive only got the 1 spool). ![]() i would mostly be using it on trying to catch jewfish and alike from wharves around the harbour. I also am in the market for a new replacement rod of this type of nature. also the reel seat where the reel clamps on does not stay in the fixed position anymore, i can literally tuirn that section of the rod 360 degrees around on itself. I too have a shimano taipan, however it is showing its age, the butt cap has completely disapppeared & its down to the metal tubing. So what reel and set up do you have on yours? Hi abecedarian, I've got a shimano taipan 12" rod but haven't worked out what reel to put on it. Only issue is the price, if you butter up your local tackle store owner you may get it for $350 but I can almost guarantee you'll love it! Excellent light weight rod and will cast a lightish lure well. My recommendation for this work would be a Nitro Surf Assassin. Most are designed to cast weights of 2-6 ounces which is ridiculous for spinning. The problem with surf rods is finding something that will cast relatively light weights. If you're lure fishing then you probably want a better quality graphite rod. I have an old Shimano Taipan that cost $100 and it's great for bait fishing and not too bad for lures either. If you're bait fishing then any rod will do unless you have to cast a mile. If your lure fishing then a bit shorter will make it easier to put some action on the lure but at the cost of keeping your line out of the wash (admittedly less of an issue with lures as you're retrieving them all the time). A shorter rod and the line will be constantly hit by waves and drag your bait back in. Are you lure fishing or bait fishing? If your bait fishing then a 12 ft rod is ideal, as Stewy said it helps keep your line out of the wash. ![]()
