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 crucial than 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.

Super Impressed! I am very impressed with both rods and to tell you the truth I was a little hesitant to order the lighter rod because of the low lure rate I hardly throw light stuff under 1 oz except when I am fishing off the docks. But the price was right so I figured I would use it just for that but after casting it a few times with 2 oz Superstrike poppers I can’t get this fun rod out of my hands, it's my new favorite rod and it casts like a rocket ship.

Great for long casts into spooky bonito The rod is just as described. I bought it mainly for chasing bonito and albies for the long casts that can be required. Paired it up with a surface eraser and was reaching the fast moving groups without a problem. My buddy got a nice video of me toying with some blue fish that joined in the fun. All we need now is more time on the water

Excellent for bonito and albies when they are focused on micro baits. The fish were focused on bay anchovies. Was able to get good distance on my casts using the smaller epoxy jigs when the fish were easily spooked.
