7 + Tip

This is rod is a real bargain at around $69.00. It works great in the surf, with reels as small as Penn 309s, all the way up to 6/0 wide spools. It is stout enough to handle sharks 6 foot long and longer. You can find it at many most Academy sporting good stores and some Wal-Marts on the coast. This rod performs with rods costing $200 or more. 

It's only shortcomings: 

1.A 10 foot, 1 piece model would be better for the Surf.
2. A little on the heavy side
