Loomis Surf Series  Fishing Rods

The Surf Series is a collection of extremely powerful, lightweight spinning and casting rods that give you unbelievable distance with accuracy and authority. Compared to garden variety surf rods (and even some spendy ones), these models offer greater strength, increased sensitivity, and, most importantly, a faster recovery. Recovery is the time it takes a rod, after being loaded and cast, to return to a "quiet," straight position. This is paramount when casting for distance: the faster a rod returns to its quiet position, the less line friction you experience; the less friction you experience, the further your lure sails. It's the one factor that increases casting distance more than any other, no matter what size lure or bait you use. Combine that with the feathery weight of these rods and you have an unbeatable combination. We design the action of the Surf Series to give you exceptional accuracy and the power to handle big stripers, blues or drum from the beach or rocks. Their handles vary from cork grips to hypalon to cork tape, depending on the use and overall handle length.
 

 

SUR941S   Length: 7'10"   Power: 1   Pieces: 1   Spinning
Designed to toss bombers and the like along the rip-rap, this is a surprisingly strong, lightweight spinning rod. It makes a nice pier or bridge rod, and you can wade with it all day long because it weighs only 9 ounces. It's great for throwing live minnows or cut bait to sheepshead, redfish, kings, stripers or blues. The perfect big permit rod for casting crabs around deep-water "blue holes" or wrecks. And it has plenty of lifting power, yet a soft enough tip to throw light jigs or shrimp. An extra-long handle offers added casting and fish-fighting leverage, and it's equipped with a hypalon foregrip and cork tape rear grip.Click Here For More Info View/Buy

SUR965S   Length: 8'   Power: 5   Pieces: 1    Spinning
 This medium-heavy power spinning rod was designed mainly to throw bait or jigs for cobia and amberjack. A great light-duty rod for small tarpon and barracuda on the flats, it won't let you down when the big one tries to steal your bait. It has enough power to fish the bridges and piers and it's light enough to wade with and cast all day long. If you like fishing off the jetty, this makes a good utility rod. It has a long handle with cork grips and a graphite barrel reel seat, capable of casting a couple of ounces or more. A great all-around spinning rod, even in freshwater.

 SUR1264S   Length: 10'6"   Power: 4   Pieces: 2   Spinning
We designed this medium-heavy rod to fish lures in the one to four-ounce range for stripers, blues and drum. It has a surprising amount of power for a light rod, making it an excellent choice for tailrace stripers in freshwater. And thanks to its extra-long handle, you get added leverage for fighting big fish without overpowering the smaller catches often found on the East Coast.
 
SUR1266S   Length: 10'6"   Power: 6   Pieces: 2   Spinning
Wonderfully lightweight, this medium-heavy power surf stick is rated for 15 to 40-pound line and lures up to 4 ounces. Designed to handle blues, stripers, drum, cobia and other surf species, it excels at throwing cedar plugs, sting silvers and similar baits. Light, sensitive and responsive are the words that best describe this rod, but don't let "light" mislead you. Progressive power throughout the blank allows you to cast a country mile and whip big fish in a hurry. It's also excellent for freshwater applications like long-range casts on tail-races for big stripers, or plunking for salmon and steelhead on the Columbia. The handle is extra long for added casting and fish-fighting leverage, with a hypalon foregrip and cork-tape rear grip.

 SUR1267S   Length: 10'6"   Power: 7   Pieces: 2   Spinning
Here's a heavy-duty surf casting stick, rated for 20 to 40-pound line and lures ranging from 2 to 8 ounces. It's designed to throw big plugs, heavy metal or bait out to the big rips where the king-size stripers and blues make their own chum line. The handle is extra long for added casting and fish-fighting leverage, with a cork-tape grip and a durable rubber fighting butt. When a big bull red heads for the edge, this rod lets you tell him "No" with authority. Bottom line: this is a serious big fish rod with more power than anyone has ever put into such a lightweight package. You'll be amazed at how effortless casting can be with such a heavy duty rod.

SUR1448C   Length: 12'   Power: 8   Pieces: 2   Casting
 When you need the power to throw an eight-ounce sinker and four ounces of bait out over the horizon, the 1448 is the answer. Add to that the sensitivity to telegraph light bites, the strength to set the hook from a quarter mile away, and the ability to handle big drum or stripers with ease, and you can see why this is the best big-surf stick in the business. The rod's a two-piece, with an eight-foot tip and a four-foot butt-section. The handle is cork tape with a heavy-duty, positive locking reel seat, capable of handling big reels for extended casting range. If you don't surf fish, get one anyway. The next time your boat gets loose from the dock you can cast a grappling hook and reel it back in.
