The X-Heavy Surf Spinning Heavers The X-Heavy "Heavers" are the big boys of the world… rods designed for casting big baits and/or fishing in heavy surf conditions. A true heaver is capable of casting 8 ounces + bait… and casting it with authority. There are a lot of rods out there that have lure ratings of 2-8 ounces, 3-8 ounces, etc. but they are simply too soft and can not competently cast a true 8 + bait and even 10 ounces + bait. Very few rods on the market today can. I've made that easy for you with my Heaver Combos… these rods handle that weight easily and are all exceptionally high-performance rods. If you are looking for a true heaver, your search has ended! Here they are: The Ultimate Spinning Heaver Heaver Spin 1: Daiwa Saltiga Surf Spin 6000 on a James Tackle Custom 12'6" Rainshadow. Simply the best of the best in the heaver world. The Rainshadow blank is an incredible rod blank for throwing 8 + bait. At 12'6", 2-piece and rated 4-10 ounces, the Rainshadow is a superior high-performance blank that can't be beat. She loves to throw 6-8 + bait! I build my lifetime-warranted custom heirloom-quality Rainshadow using Fuji long-cast Alconite concept guides, cork tape grips and the reel seat set at 32" from the tip of the butt to the center of the seat (if you have a different measurement you would like, call to order). The guides on the rod are positioned specifically for maximum casting efficiency with the Saltiga. The sleek, clean Black wraps with Silver trim are in a word, sharp… but there is no additional charge for other colors. Daiwa revolutionized the surf spinning world with the amazing casting ability of the Emblem reels… that casting ability is now available on their flagship surf reel, the Saltiga Surf Spin. The rigid, precise body of the Saltiga Surf Spin allows zero flex. The Saltiga is built for the long haul! This combo is easily capable of casting 800+ feet. Spooled with backing, 400 yards of 50# braid and a 20' shock leader, this combo is simply the best Surf Spinning Heaver available. $899.99...................................................................................... Extreme Performance Spinning Heaver Heaver Spin 2: Daiwa Emblem Pro 5500 on a James Tackle Custom 12'6" Rainshadow. This is the same exact combo as above but using the time-tested, incredible-casting Daiwa Emblem Pro EMP5500. The bulk of casting performance comes from the rod's abilities… and this rod is as good as it gets. Set up for maximum casting with the Daiwa Emblem, it is also capable of easily reaching out beyond 800'. This Rainshadow/Emblem Pro combo's performance is amazing! Spooled with backing, 400 yards of 50# braid and a 20' shock leader, this combo is simply the best Surf Spinning Heaver available. $679.99......................................................................................

Ballistic Spinning Heaver Heaver Spin 4: Daiwa Saltiga Surf Spin 6000 with Daiwa Saltiga Ballistic SA-BS35-405G. The all-new, lifetime-warranted Daiwa Saltiga Ballistic surf rods are simply amazing. Patterned somewhat from the Tiralejo rods, the new Ballistic rods come complete with the counterbalance weight system, Fuji "new concept" alconite guides, V-Flex ferrule system and the rods can throw either spinning or casting reels! The super-slim, ultra lightweight blanks are as easy handling as they get. The SA-BS35-405G is a 13'3", 3-piece rod that is rated 2-10 ounces, but hits it's sweet spot with 4-8 ounces.
