Hi all
Long time lurker but my first post here
I’m sitting around the house during lock down researching fishing kit, as I’m sure many of you are. I’ve been planning on picking up a 13 / 14 foot surf rod for a while now. I think I’ve shortlisted my options down to 2 rods but I’m battling to decide between them. Hoping for some advice from owners of each.
Option 1) 13 foot Assassin Beachmaster Zero Light (3 to 5 Oz)
Option 2) 14.6 foot Poseidon Edible (? to 5 Oz)
I already own a new Spheros 6000 with 30lbs Boss Braid that I use on my Amia Zero XH HMC so my biggest question is whether I’d be able to use the same reel on either of the above rod options? Or would it be too light necessitating that I buy an 8000 or 10000 size reel for use with the rod?
I want to use the new rod for targeting edibles (mostly kob and the like) from the surf. I use my Purglas 350/2 for scratching from the rocks so I’m sorted on that front.
As for guides, the Assassin comes with Fuji Concept O (MN frame) and I think that the Poseidon comes with PB guides but I may be wrong?
Thanks in advance for any guidance!!
