Great rod

Purchased this rod back in June, the 9 footer, for bridge and inlet fishing for Snook. Casts 1-3oz lures with ease. Great rod to fight big fish, even in heavy current

The rod is light as a feather and feels like it's quality. Caught a lot of fish on it and no complaints as of yet. This is the second surf rod I own by TFO.

Awesome Surf Rods!

I own the 12’ heavy rod rated for 4-10oz and intend to buy at least one more. This past spring it was perfect for pompano being able to drop rigs before and over the bar using a 5000 size reel and 30lb braid. In comparison my 10’ St. Crox could not even come close with the same 4oz weight and fell flat when casting compared to the TFO. Additionally, I have used it this fall for bull red fishing in the pass. It has no problem handling 6oz weights plus bait. It’s length and light weight makes it a versatile rod.
Pros
  • - Color, gotta love the blue
  • - light weight
  • - build quality
  • - price
Cons
  • - No hook keeper

Will a Saragosa 10000 be a good fit for this rod? Ideally, looking for a rod for stripers at cape cod canal
1 Answer
Hi Frank, I would recommend the ODM NXD-118 D.N.A Surf Rod - 11 ft.. Model: NXD-118; TackleDirect Code: ODM-0032. https://www.tackledirect.com/odm-nxd-118-dna-surf-rod.html. This rod would be perfect for striper fishing in the Cape Cod Canal and can be used with either lures or jigs. This will be great for your Shimano Saragosa 10000 SW A. Please let us know if theres anything else we can assist you with. Tight Lines.
