Alright so ive been saltwater fishing for a while mostly piers and jettys and a little bit of surf with lighter tackle....But Ive made the move and i want to get into some heavier tackle surf fishing so i thought id throw up my cabelas shopping spree and see what people think and if you know of any good spot for stripers right now let me know grtn
12 foot Master Power 6000 Rod lure weight 4-10 oz
Daiwa Emcast Sport 6000 The biggest one (reel)
My wife and i are dieing to go out on the surf let me know what you think please!!

I have not tried or even heard of that rod. I tried to find it on the Cabelas site but nada. I did find that the Tica 1w2' rod is on sale and that is a good buy.
UEHA836502S It has the same dimensions as you listed plus it is on sale for $129 and change. Very good rod. I have the 11' Tica Dolphin Surf and I just think it is great.
Any reel you put on that will work great. I use the Penn Slammer 560 on mine with 30# & 40# Power Pro Braid. Dynamite setup.
Hope this helps
Happy Catching

yeah i was in the cabelas store and it felt nice and had a good weight and action and i cant find it on the site either haha...
what works better for surf...Bait or Lures

I have the Em-cast 5000 reel and I love it. By the way Diawa now has a line of Em-cast Rods that match up with the reels. was looking at an 11' 6" rod that is 2 piece and matches up with the 6000.

the rods can be ordered directly from Diawa, I believe.

the set up i ended up with was pretty affordable
bout $120 (wife gave me a spending limit)
