The Tactical Surf series is designed for the intermediate to advanced angler and optimized for long accurate casts from the beach, that special rock or fishing pier. The casting tools are durable enough to handle the extremes of the surf environment but light enough to fish by hand all day without fatigue. The Tactical Surf series includes 7 models in 8'0"-12'0" lengths. All 2-piece models are 70/30 split for one-piece performance and safe transport. All rods include blue/gray fish scale heat shrink grips with black EVA foam and rubber butt caps. The blanks are a satin sky-blue finish topped with braid- and saltwater-safe Fuji® K-Series Guides™ with Fuji® Alconite® inserts. The SUS 804-1 through SUS 1103-2 rods are ideal for anglers casting and working artificial baits. These rods are particularly popular along the Cape Cod Canal where the current requires the use of heavier lures and jigs. The SUS 1065-2, SUS 1106-2, and SUS 1206-2 are for anglers focused on fishing bait rigs and making long casts with either spinning or casting gear. Every Tactical Surf series rod is designed and manufactured to deliver uncompromising performance and proven durability. And when combined with TFO’s full lifetime warranty against defects, these rods are the perfect choice for anglers wanting to insure their fishing success and enjoyment.

This is an excellent surf rod for those looking to cast long distances with ease. It casts very well over sandbars and when aiming for troughs and breaks in the surf where fish feed. It has the necessary backbone to fight big species like bull redfish, black drum, and even many shark species, and it has enough sensitivity to feel... Read more
Ideal for
  • -Casts with ease and with serious distance
  • -Enough backbone to fight bull reds and even sharks
  • -Accurately casts over sandbars and into troughs where fish feed
Not ideal for
  • -Given that it is 12', the two 6' sections are still rather long and bulky
  • -It is a heavy rod and not meant for casting all day
  • -It can be tiresome when moving around several surf setups on the beach

I’m just a gal having fun learning to fly fish and ready to buy my own set up. Having minimal knowledge of what buy and loads of options out there, shopping can be a bit overwhelming. But, Johnny was so great to work with! His knowledge & attention to detail, and humor made it fun & easy figuring out a great starter set up best suited for me.

Matt helped me out of the fog and the overwhelming state I was in trying to buy my first Flyfishing set up…. I would still be fishing for gear a month from now if it wasn’t for him sticking his hand out to me.
5 /5
I’ve dealt with more than a handful of folks on fb marketplace that were downright aggressive, mean, and unhelpful to me over a series of exchanges in my search for gear. Matt was everything but. He not only pointed me in the right direction but he was friendly and knowledgeable as well. I needed all the help I could get and he was there. Thanknu again Matt.

I'm an intermediate angler with little knowledge of equipment. Rylyn was very responsive to all my questions, even the ones I thought were stupid. Very open about what he does and how he is paid. I highly recommend him.

I bought an open box Orvis fishing rod and it was at a great price. The condition of the rod and the shipping time exceeded my expectations. The information I received from Capt. Mark was accurate and helpful. I would definitely buy from Curated again.
