vbshootingrange,
My surf-sticks are all DIY 14 footers, made from HEDDON blanks that I purchased about 50 years ago at the GLOBE DISCOUNT STORE on Galveston Island. = They have served me well, for so little bucks invested, for a LONG time & still do, with the old-school PENN LEVELINE reels that I bought "way back then".
(I took my BIGGEST REDFISH in 1973 from the 91st Street Pier on one of them & quickly released her, as she was full of eggs. - She was just over 47" long.)
ADDENDA: I wonder WHY nobody in a half-century plus hasn't made a surf-casting reel that casts as well as the old-school PENNs did??
yours, tex
