Surf Fishing involves placing yourself on the ocean or lake shoreline and casting your line into the surf zone to catch fish that are traveling near the shoreline. Whether remaining on land or wading into the surf, the unique challenges of this environment requires specific qualities and features in Surf Fishing equipment. Surf rods are typically long, ranging from 9 to 12+ feet, allowing for long casts, and are powerful enough to handle larger species. Rods constructed from graphite or fiberglass, or other durable materials is recommended. Surf Reels need to handle a significant amount of line on the spool to accommodate long casting distances, and potential runs from powerful fish. Look for a large-capacity spinning or conventional reel with a strong drag system. Braided fishing lines are recommended for Surf Fishing due to their strength and relatively thin diameter, which allows longer casting.
