I have put together a few new Striped Bass combos for boat, shore and surf that are sure to be high on everyone’s list if what they need. These combo’s are all in the moderate price range… no super high end combos but all are absolutely outstanding quality and rods & reels I would (and do!) proudly fish myself. Quality-Performance-Value. That is what these are all about. Customize your new rod with your name or boat name for just $15.00 Click here Just e-mail me with the NAME of your choice after you order StriperSurf1: Tica UE-HA733502S with Daiwa Emblem ECP5500. This is probably the most versatile surf outfit I have ever put together. The 11’ Tica UE-HA spinning rod rated 15-40# line and 3-8 ounce is a rival to any $300 rod out there. Teamed with the incredible casting ability of the ECP5000… this combo is very capable of 150+ yard casts. The Emcasts have all the bells and whistles without the huge price tag including instant anti-reverse, x-long cast ABS aluminum spool and spare spool, the famous silky Daiwa drag system (waterproof) and they are smooth as can be. This is an outstanding combo for throwing hi-lo (clam) rigs, bunker and mullet chunks and heavy metal spoons. Loaded with 25# Sufix Superior mono and complete with shock leader… ready to fish!
