Description

The Hogy 7' pocket surf rod echoes the surf rod designs of the 1970s and 80s, which were built to cast thick monofilament lines over great distances using fewer, forward-placed guides on a heavy fiberglass blank. Although modern advancements have moved us away from casting mono on glass, this rod retains the ability to launch a wide range of lure styles and weights to impressive distances. I particularly enjoy using this rod for "barefoot" beach fishing, and it proves exceptional as an albie rod on the boat, where casting distance is more crucialthan pinpoint accuracy. This is why we've equipped a surf rod with a gimbal butt. This rod is a delightful little pocket rocket, and I hope you enjoy using it as much as I do.
