The Medium-Heavy combos that I have put together represent a huge part of the surf fishing world. Not everyone is capable (or willing!) to cast a true heaver. They require quite a bit of technique to competently cast for distance. The Medium-Heavy combos however are very user-friendly and along with the Medium Conventional Combos, represent the bulk of surf rods ideally suited for most anglers. Most of the Medium-Heavy combos I have teamed together feature rods that are 11' in length. 11' rods are basically suited perfectly for throwing 3-6 ounces + bait, heavy metal lures, etc. They will, if needed, cast 8 + bait. For the average fisherman, these rods are ideal for fishing up and down the coasts in most weather. The 11' rods are a staple in the arsenal of most all surf anglers. I would not hit the beach without at least one along! As always, all James Tackle Combos INCLUDE SHIPPING! The Ultimate MH Conventional Surf MH Surf 1: Daiwa Saltiga SASURF30 on a James Tackle Custom 11'6" Rainshadow. Simply the best of the best in the light heaver world. The Rainshadow blank is an incredible rod blank for throwing 3-6 ounces + bait. At 11'6", 2-piece and rated 3-6 ounces, the Rainshadow is a superior high-performance blank that can't be beat. She loves to throw 4 to 5 ounces + bait and will send 3-5 ounce metal to the moon! 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 30" 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 SASURF30. The sleek, clean Black wraps with Silver trim are in a word, sharp… but there is no additional charge for other colors. Daiwa dominates a good portion of the surf fishing world with their amazing castability, now offered in the finest surf casting reel ever built, the incredible Saltiga Surf SASURF30. The rigid, precise bar stock machined aluminum body and spool of the Saltiga Surf allows zero flex and with the lightweight spool specifically designed for surf casters, it flies like no other. The Saltiga is built for the long haul… centrifugal breaks, 5.4:1 gearing, dual infinite anti-reverse, massive alloy gears and 7 CRBB corrosion proof bearings! This combo is easily capable of casting 800+ feet. Spooled with backing, 400 yards of 30# braid and a 20' shock leader, this combo is simply the best light surf Heaver available. $949.99...................................................................................... Extreme Performance MH Conventional Surf MH Surf 2: Avet MXJ6.0 MAG on a James Tackle Custom 11'6" Rainshadow. This is the same exact combo as above but using the time-tested, incredible-casting Avet MXJ6.0 MAG. The retrieval speed is ideal at 6.0:1 and after I mag the reel, it is tame and a missile casting reel. Avet reels without a mag conversion are simply out of control and backlash more than not. This combo is also capable of easily reaching out beyond 800'. This Rainshadow/Avet combo's performance is amazing! Spooled with backing, 400 yards of 30# braid and a 20' shock leader, this combo is simply the best Surf Spinning Heaver available. $689.99......................................................................................

Spooled with backing, 400 yards of 30# braid and a 20' shock leader, this combo is simply the best Surf Spinning Heaver available. $499.99......................................................................................
