Looking for a SA 15 in good to excellent condition. Will pay top dollar or trade for SA 20/ SA 30 etc

I am looking at buying a new surf rod for bank fishing for stripers/wipers and big catfish here in Kansas. Also some tailraces/river fishing. I hate using flimsy glass surf rods like Ugly Sticks and the like. I want to get a lightweight, sensitive surf rod that I can cast a mile to get my bait...

I'm trying to get my first conventional setup started. Conventional rod reel for the surf, plugging only, no bait. I'll build another Lami Ron Arra. I'm thinking about the Daiwa saltiga surf (conventional model) SASURF30. Seems like a nice (albeit pricey) conventional. Does anybody...

in great shape other then some rash on the stem, havent been able to use it. just filled it with powerpro. $590 picked up or add $20 to ship and paypal

I wanted to know if any one owns one, and what their thoughts were. Pretty damned expensive.

i bought a diawa saltiga5500 this spring. like it alot so far.holds **** load of line.400 yards 50# braid plus backing.hope to get some fish that peel some of that off.really lite and drag(although not fish tested yet)seems nice.we will see how it holds up.anybody else use one this spring? love...

Had the 5000 size slightly apart today to get a peek at what's inside and to make sure it was properly greased by the factory. (it wasn't). Interesting reel. I'm not sure what to make of it yet On the plus side: Nice, big, heavy gears Great spool design, should really be able to reach out...
