Daiwa Sandstorm Surf Fishing Rods - Multiplier/Fixed Spool - All Models

Product Information

Made with premium carbon blanks, the surf rod is strong and powerful. The model comes in a range of lengths and reelseat options including 12ft6 with either multiplier or fixed spool seating, 13ft6 or multiplier or fixed spool and a 14ft2 with multiplier fittings. The shelter is secured by piling sand or shingle onto the base flaps to make it stable in even the worst of conditions. It’s quite a roomy design and can fit two inside at a push. Surfcasting rods are generally longer and heavier than regular beachcasters, and often have extra guides to help handle the larger fish that you might encounter while fishing in this way.

All variations sport a sliding DPS Reel Seat so you can adjust your reel placement to what is most comfortable. The rod also sports a Seaguide Deep Drawn Frame with an aluminium oxide ring that prevents erosion from the sea water. The Salt XT shelter has a wide front opening and the mid-section has a flat roof, allowing you to sit inside the shelter and still have a good view of your rods. It’s wide enough for two adults to sit in reasonable comfort too. For shore fishing, shelters require generous ‘skirts’. These lie flat on the ground so that they can be covered by stones and shingle to prevent the shelter from being blown away. They also help prevent sand from being blown into the shelter. While some shelters offer pegging systems, these are best used in conjunction with skirts rather than as the main method of securing them.If you’re looking to get into sea fishing, a beachcaster rod might be just what you need to get started. It is longer and heavier than other types of rods, which gives it more power to cast farther out into the water. The final thing to look out for when you’re investing in a beach fishing shelter is its quality of manufacture. As this is a Daiwa product, you can be completely confident that this shelter will live up to all your expectations. Hardwearing, durable, and well made, this is a shelter that will see you through a lifetime of shore fishing. It also comes it a fabulous vivid yellow colour. This is a far cry from the carpy olives and khakis of traditional bivvies and it truly sets this shelter apart as a sea angler’s friend. We rated the following shelters based on straight-out-of-the-bag ease of setup, rather than if it required plenty of practice. I have fished all over the world and tried many different techniques, but my favorite way to fish is from the shore. There is something about sea fishing that is so peaceful and calming. It is the perfect way to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Shore fishing beach shelters shouldn’t be confused with standard beach or garden shelters that can typically be bought very cheaply. These simply won’t do the same job or be as durable as purpose-designed fishing shelters. Performance starts with a great blank and Sensor Sand Storm is true to that philosophy, featuring many of Daiwa’s newest design and blank technologies to create a range that is equally refined, rugged and robust.

Compared with the bivvies used by carp anglers, shore shelters are generally small and lightweight and have relatively compact ‘footprints’. However, there are some very substantial shelters on the market that do offer more space, but this inevitably comes at a cost in respect of extra weight and bigger size, even when folded down. Larger shelters are probably worth considering if you fish long sessions on particular beach marks regularly, whereas smaller, lighter shelters are ideal for shorter sessions. The titanium oxide guides provide great durability and line management, while the rubber shrink-wrap handle ensures a comfortable grip even when wet. Producing reels since 1955, Daiwastill aims to produce the most technically advanced fishing equipment in the world. This is an aim that is routinely met, and Daiwa is a world leader in coarse, carp, sea, and predator fishing products. While a shelter can provide protection from the elements on rough days, one is also useful on very hot days, providing much needed shade for anglers and especially bait. Cool boxes and the like function a lot better when kept out of direct sunlight, and if you’re keeping a few fish for the table then they’ll help keep them in good condition. A Premium range of beach casting models in a range of popular lengths available with both fixed spool, and multiplier options. Featuring high quality carbon fibre blanks outfitted with ultra light Sea Guide ‘Deep drawn’ frame guides. Finished in the same eye catching yellow colour, as with the rest of the range.The multiplier options come with a sliding DPS reel seat whilst the fixed spool designs come fitted with a fixed seat as well as a split EVA grip.

Totally waterproof and windproof the Advanta Protector Beach Shelter has been designed to fold down for easy transport and storage. The shelter provides a large amount of space with room for a seat box or chair. Suitable for locating on shingle or sand, the extended skirt can be buried or weighted down for extra stability and protection. I recently had the chance to use this beachcaster, and I was really impressed with its performance. Beachcasters are also often fitted with larger reels, which can hold more line and help to catch bigger fish.A beach shelter tends to be one of the first things to come under consideration when shore anglers are trying to lighten their load. It’s true that some of them can be unwieldy to transport when a long hike is required, but it’s a fact that many anglers would rather not go fishing than be without a beach shelter. Overall, the Daiwa Saltist Surf Rod is a great option for anyone looking for a beachcaster that can handle larger fish. Beach casters can range from 12′ to 16′ in length and designed to cast 4 – 8oz leads a long distance.

Overall, I was extremely impressed with this beach caster – it’s definitely a great value for the price. I would highly recommend this rod to anyone looking for an affordable beachcaster that performs well! The Saltist Surf Rod is made from high quality X45 blanks and features Fuji ‘O’ rings and reel seats. This 3-piece beach rod is specifically designed for surf fishing, and it did not disappoint. The PENN Squadron II Surf Rod is made from high-quality materials and is very durable. It is also very lightweight, which makes it easy to carry around. I had a great time using the PENN Squadron II Surf Rod, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves to fish. If you are looking for a good surf rod, then this is the beachcaster for you! This beachcaster rod is designed for use with multiplier reels, and comes in three different lengths.It’s finished in a subtle dark blue color scheme with highlighted white tips, which makes it easy to see when a fish bites. The Beach Buddy Convertible shares many of the features of the original, and highly rated Holden Beach Buddy, but includes some new innovations. The Convertible has the same Beach Buddy profile but now has stronger ‘shingle’ flaps to hold it down. The dome is detachable so the Convertible can also be used as a simple ‘windbreak’. The downside is, because of their size and weight, beachcasters are not as portable as other types of rods, but they are well-suited for fishing in areas with a lot of sand or surf! This shelter is the big brother of the successful Ian Golds Igloo, and, as the name suggests, it really is big. Comfortably the biggest in this test, it’s also the heaviest by half a pound. The original Igloo was renowned for being generously proportioned, but the Bigloo has two-and-a-half square metres of floor space, although it is laid out in a different manner. However, this is a very tall shelter and most adults will be able to stand up in it. Next, hold the beachcaster rod so that the reel is facing down. Then, using your dominant hand, grasp the bottom of the rod and curl your fingers around the handle.
