Surf Rods

CAN I PURCHASE SURF RODS AT ANACONDA?

Yes, you can. Surf rods are a favourite all around Australia and an essential feature of fishing equipment for most anglers. Beach fishing requires specialised equipment and techniques for optimum surf casting success. At Anaconda, our surf spinning rods, such as the Shimano Aerowave Graphite, Sensor Tournament and other premium surf rods give you the advantage required to land big ocean dwelling fish. Beach fishing is a suitable pastime for anglers of all ages using surf spin rods, Daiwa Seajigger rods, Daiwa Crossfire rods, Penn Allegiance and other purpose-designed rods made specifically for beach fishing. Fishing rods, fishing reels, bait and tackle by major manufacturers such as Fuji, Rapala, Abu Garcia and Alvey are designed to give you the best chance of landing the catch of the day.

WHAT ARE THE FEATURES OF A SURF ROD?

Surf casting rods tend to be longer than other types of fishing rods. They are also strong enough to handle large fish in testing beach fishing conditions. Surf casting rods, surf spinning rods and baitcaster rods are expressly designed to simplify beach fishing, and usually have long grip handles intended for two-handed casting techniques. Generally, surf rods will measure between 8 and 14 feet (2.5m - 4m) in length. Surf casting rods such as the Shimano Aerowave Graphite rod give you the casting thrust required to cast your bait or hard body lure beyond the breakers or over the reef. Modern reel seats, monofilament fishing line and fluorocarbon fishing line used in conjunction with overhead combos, surf rods and surf fishing reels all provide advantages for beach fishing.

WHAT IS SURF FISHING?

Surf fishing is fishing from within the surf or by standing on the shoreline. Beach fishing is a great introduction for young anglers, giving them plenty of room to practice baitcaster techniques and surf fishing rod casting. It is an open environment suitable for learning about fishing reels, fishing line, hooks, sinkers, braid, soft plastic lures, rod holders and other fishing equipment. Almost any uncrowded beach in Australia is suitable for learning the techniques, with gear such as Penn Prevail, Penn Allegiance, Daiwa Sensor Surf, Crossfire and Shimano Aerowave sure to catch the attention of new anglers. And if the fish aren't biting, your kids will still enjoy their day at the beach.

A lot of life-skills can be learnt while surf casting. Anglers learn how to use multi-tools and pliers, plus keep an organised tackle box, fishing storage and safety-first fishing behaviour. At Anaconda, we supply the best fishing gear, fishing apparel, life jackets, wetsuits and all-weather protection for beach fishing, rock fishing, kayak fishing, saltwater fishing and freshwater fishing. If fly fishing is more your thing, we have the right fishing rods, fishing reels, waders, and other equipment required.

WHAT ELSE SHOULD I KEEP IN MIND ABOUT SURF FISHING RODS?

Because of the extra length, many fishing rods can be assembled in sections for ease of transport. Anglers in Australia appreciate convenience that comes with quality surf rods, spinning reels, swivels, jig heads, and purpose-designed tackle boxes. At Anaconda, we have it all at prices that won't break the bank.

Whether you are on the hunt for small Seabass, or hoping to land bigger fish, Anaconda beach fishing gear will get you sorted for the best possible price.
