Daiwa Crossfire Surf Rods

Daiwa Crossfire Surf Rods

Although it has become more and more common to see surfside anglers casting into the wash with much shorter rods, there is still no substitute for length when fishing the beach and rocks. However, the cost of high end surf rods of significant length can be a little daunting for the newbie, budget conscious and casual angler. This is where the Daiwa Crossfire Surf Rods come into their own. For around the $100 mark and less you can get equipped with a quality Daiwa Crossfire Surf Rod up to 360cm in Length and hit the beaches and rocks, even in a heavy messy swell, knowing you are well armed to deal with all comers.

The 3 models listed here give the angler the ability to hone their selection based on application. Indeed, the each rod is refined to being technique specific. The main decision will be; how light or heavy you wish to fish. Of course, you will enjoy features that are usually reserved for more expensive rods such has tough EVA grips and carbon blanks.

The 862 Crossfire Rod makes an ideal light surf rod for those sheltered beaches where there isn’t too much wash to get through. Pair up with a 3000-4000 sized spinning reel (not included) for some light surf fun.
