Penn has you covered no matter your budget. Personally I fish the spinfisher 6 and squall 2 casting specials. The battallion surf rods are worth the extra money.
I use the penn battle 2 4000 also but because I travel to fish I pair it with okumo nomad express and I have the entire okumo nomad series (4 rods). Unfortunately they are only 7ft or 7,7. Cant remember. But I absolutely love those rods. I bring them all over from florida to the bahamas
Great review Brad which pole would u say would work best for me the sand bar is about 60 yo 70 yards out and what weight I hate walking out all the time any help would be great 👍 👌 you the man Brad tytytyty keep the great vids coming
Thanks man! I don’t very often. I will throw slot of diamond jigs when we have Spanish and bluefish around. I’d like to get into throwing more lures on the beach for specks, reds and flounder, just haven’t done much of that yet.
I have the spinfisher vi long cast, the daiwa emblem mag sealed, okuma surf 8k and nothing compares to my shimano ultegra 14000 xtc ci4+. it's expensive but worth every penny.
I'm just learning how to surf fish. When you talk about the Penn reels, you mention 2500, 4000, etc. What do these numbers mean? Thanks for your videos!
Brad, how do you feel about Gulf State Park installing parking meters in the previously free shell beach and cotton bayou parking areas in Orange Beach? It is supposed to be the same Pavilion pricing of $5 for 4 hours/$10 for all day. Dang it was okay back a couple years ago for $5 to park all day at the pavilion, but dang, I can pay $40 for a year pass and drive to Johnson Beach and park for free! We are just trying to fish!
I’m not very happy about it! I fish Shell Beach and Alabama Point a lot! I heard they’re going to do an annual pass for these lots, but I’m not positive on that.

For sure!
I have the same GX2 Ugly Stick for whiting.
It’s a great rod!
My father bought me a battalion rod with a 4k size pursuit from penn and my first day using it I hooked into a 78lb blacktip

I’ve heard good things about Okumo rods. Never used one though
Details details details!!!
Line, rigging, hooks, swivels, leads, spreading between hooks!!
Any pointers on a 1 piece surf rod/ pier rod? Thanks for all the content!
You remember where you got your fishing cart for all your gear. Thanks
I got it on Amazon! I have it linked below
@@BeardedBrad92 Thanks brother me and the family are heading down to gulf shores in late may be cool to run into u there. Happy Easter 🤙🏽🙏
Says currently unavailable 😔
Message me when you get down, I’ll be out fishing somewhere!
Dang, I’ll have to go edit that link. Looks like they aren’t selling the one with the balloon tires. All the tackle stores down here have them though!
Some really nice rods and reals
Thanks!
Hay brad great video have you ever used conventional tackle thanks
I haven’t for surf fishing.
Is there good fishing off of the Caribe dock, and if so what rigs and bait should I use there.
I’ve never fished them, but I’m sure there’s some specks and reds over there. I’d try live shrimp either on a Carolina rig, or popping cork
@@BeardedBrad92 Thanks man I really appreciate it
I use the Ninja dagger and love it. But just as important, is that a Vols jacket? My man....
Go Big Orange! 🍊
@@BeardedBrad92 I have now subscribed....lol. Here’s hoping Huepel is the answer.
I sure hope so! It’s been a tough run as a Vols fan!
Brad, great video. Very informative. Can you tell me what size and type of line do you use on those reels? Thanks.
I meant to mention that during the video but forget!! I use 20lb powerpro superslick on most of my reels
Another great informative video Brad!
Thanks man! I appreciate it!

How heavy is you line?
As always, thanks for the info man! Do you ever throw any hard or soft plastics in the surf? If so, what are your preferences?
Actually, just found one of your older videos showcasing what you throw. Again, another awesome video.
Thanks man! I don’t very often. I will throw slot of diamond jigs when we have Spanish and bluefish around. I’d like to get into throwing more lures on the beach for specks, reds and flounder, just haven’t done much of that yet.
Has anyone ever made a comparison between ninja dagger and the temple fork rods? Any opinions
Nice Jacket with the Power T!!! GBO
THANKS

How tall are your sand spikes?
Edric Smith 4’
Nice video and great info for a new saltwater angler like myself. What sand spikes are you using? Thanks
I went to home depot and bought 2in pvc and some angle iron and made my own super easy.
I'm just learning how to surf fish. When you talk about the Penn reels, you mention 2500, 4000, etc. What do these numbers mean? Thanks for your videos!
Sizing and usually drag etc.. . 2000 is quite small for Penn and you will have less line and maybe weaker drag compared to a 4000 size
Thanks for another great video!
Thanks for watching!!
WHAT SIZE HOOKS DO YOU USE ON SALTY POMP RIGS.? THEY COME WITH WHAT APPEARS TO BE A 2/O HOOK
He uses 1/0 on his rigs now.

Thank you
How long is the gx2?
Mine is 9’
Great info. Thanks
Good info Brad, thanks,,,
Yes sir! Thank you!
Greetings from your followers from Saudi Arabia🇸🇦🇸🇦
🤙
Great videos.
Thank you!
If you had to pick one, which one would you take to the beach every time?
I’d take the Battle 2 on the 10’ Star Stellar.
You ever considered doing beach charters, you are as knowledgeable as all the other guys already doing it in your area.
I’ve done a few. I don’t advertise it because with my full time job and trying to make videos for RUclips, I just don’t have much time to run trips
Go vols!!!!
GBO!
I know you’re ready for warmer weather so you get out and do more fishing
Very much so!
Why do all the rods look like you fishing at the condos??
1 up 1 down,
Hey brad, I sent you a messgae on your Facebook. Look forward to hearing from you
