That rod is a beast! I have the older 9 footer. I casted the rod halfway across the channel side at Surfside Jetty with a 3oz spoon!! I was shocked

I've had the 12' for about 3 years now and it's held up well. It handles weight well and isn't too heavy either. Currently paired with a Shimano Speedmaster 14000 XTC.

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzread.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

I'd never heard of the breakwater before but saw it online so picked one up when I was looking for a new sturgeon rod. Got the 12 foot heavy rated for 4-8oz and 20-40lb line. Water was moving more than usual so I threw on a 12oz cannon ball along with my bait and bombed it across the river. Rod handled the weight just fine. Paired it with my Daiwa BG MQ 20000 and 80lb braid. Haven't hooked up on it yet but so far I'm digging this setup. Good review man.

I got the penn fathom 2 LDC because you said it was a good reel and it is. I love it. I tried five different rods with that reel. I picked up that 10footer you have there but I got the spinning version. I liked it so much I went back and got the 12 footer. My longest cast with a sinker is 138 yards with the penn and that 12 footer. I got myself one of those Alijos loprofile reels and put on it. These rods are excellent rods. Glad to see you like it.

I bought a 12 foot one over a year ago. It is amazing, best $100 I have spent. It really helps when casting against the wind. If you cast with the wind it goes almost out of sight.

When I first moved to Houston from London 4 years back I brought my specimen Shimano TX7 carp rods/reels with me. Rods are 12' and with a 3Lb test curve. All with top end components. But for their prices they should be.They handle 4-5 Oz casts all day. Used them on the beach/jetty and brought in big fish. The matching Shimano reels are baitrunners which I also find handy on the shore and cast miles. Saved me $ buying new. So I could go spend it on good spinning gear! Could be worth looking at used or discount ones guys.

I bought a 12-foot Breakwater rod and paired it with a SpinfisherVI 10500 spooled with 80lb Power Pro last year for my Land Based Shark Fishing (surfcasting rather than yaking out drop baits) and I have caught a couple of 6 footers (a Spinner and Blacktip shark) and the rod helped me pull them in, in just a short few minutes (less than 10 easy) which is important in making sure the sharks are not overly exhausted and go back to the surf strong to fight another day(s). Based on these two sharks and a bunch of smaller ones I think this rod can easily take on a bit larger sharks for sure.

Love this channel and the great information you put out.

I haven’t been able to try that rod yet but the H2O express surf rod has been good to me and only $50 plus it has great warranty through Academy that you don’t have to pay extra money for.

Thank you for the recommendation. My son picked up one of these rods a few months ago. WELL worth it.

Great rods! I've had the 8' and 10' for 5 years. A little heavier than higher priced rods but a great workhorse.

Brother, I think we are ALL budget conscious these days! Thanks for the heads up! God bless, Stay safe, Tight lines. - Hedge

I love these rods!!! I have 5 of them.. It's a beast.. Light weight and strong with a good backbone on them. I have them set up with Dawia BG's. Straight workhorse.. 43" Black Drum and 42" Red.. With ease Rippen Lips all year with these!!

Nice video. When you said, “I should have had red lin on there,” I was thinking the exact same thing!

Great review I just picked this rod up in a 11 footer pairing it with the battle iii 6000 dx.... Great channel I have subscribed keep up great reviews

I'm just getting into surf fishing and was thinking about getting an Ugly Stick 11 or 12 footer. But this review might have changed my mind. Thanks you much for doing it.

Ugly sticks are ok. I did not care for their surf rods at all. They were too floppy lol. I have a 12 foot okuma Longitude. It’s good and Ridgid. I have heard since longitudes became very popular they began to mass produce them and their quality has suffered. I got the pole about 13 years ago. I think I’m going to get this one in the video in 9 ft.

I was thinking about getting this rod for my corpus trip in spring break but now I’m definitely going to get it

Great Vid Thumbs Up and liked!!!! I bought the Ocean Master and paired it with a Daiwa Certate but will be picking one of these up as well.

And their breakwater combos are bomb, great drag too on the spinning reel

Love the reviews bud I’m definitely gonna get the 12ft for surf fishing for pompano down here in Jacksonville Florida would work great using a dropper rig with 4 to 5oz sputnik weights

i just ordered the 12 foot surf spinner to go with my diawa BG 5000 . they finally got them back in stock . i ordered it from cabelas because they had a pair of leupold binoculars i wanted that bass pro didn't show . supposed to be here the 30th so i'll have them for our trip when we leave on sept 2nd . thanks and take care dude :) .

Awesome just got mine today thank you

My daiwa sp surf rod snapped in half while i was digging my spider weight out the sand. Broke my heart man. I may invest in this rod, but i have to see how it handles the big boys and digging weights out of sand.

Just got this rod cause the video! Good review man!

Dude, ur the best!! cant find the other rod (fuji in 12ft.checked Bass Pro) out of stock. thanx 4 ur vids, God Bless..

Cheap shit ain’t good and good shit ain’t cheap Damn good vid man

i have the 11 foot version of this rod but i got the combo with an 8000 size reel and it handled a big ray decently well

I have eight Diawa Beefsticks 10 & 12 ft surf rods. I have fished them hard for over five years. I have hauled in dozens of 40 inch plus bull reds, two massive stingrays, and a 5 ft bull shark. They have stood up to everything I threw at them.

I have had their casting 10ft rod since last July I like it just wish I went up to 5oz over 4oz but it's held up great for the money. I lucked out and caught it on sell for 60 bucks.

I mainly fished magged conventional reels. Big fan of yours been here from the beginning we’ve spoken on many occasions. #tulsa

I'm a budget rod guy myself and I agree if cost a bit more then it should come with some kind of quality but from what I used to buy higher ends it's more of the warranty that we pay for in price

I have this reel paired with it’s a penn reel and I’ve landed two 5 foot sharks on it. This things a tank! Only problem I’ve had with it is the top line eye coming off because mid fight the line got wrapped and pulled it off 😂

Ginna look into that reel

like the Ocean Master big brother and this looks like a very good daily driver rod worth buying to fill the short 7' or 8' plus a 10' needs to match the 12' OM older cousin. Much as I love my surf fishing it's really hard to pull the trigger $200+ trigger. Action looks nice but can't wait to see it in real action soon?

Was in the fence between this one or the ocean master surf, ended up getting the ocean master because of your review on it. Its really light, Can't wait to try it out

Good choice, I feel like the breakwater is heavier, plus the ocean master blank is better.

You should check out the Offshore Angler Power Stick, it’s great rod and would love to see you review it!

had the 12ft one. really nice rod honestly., only that the handle is a little short.

I just got that this weekend, couldnt pass it up for 80 dollars. Got a Battle high speed on it for pompano fishing.

That's a steal for the kind of quality

I have the same rod, the 10’ spinning. It really is a great surf rod. I cast cut bait with 4oz sinker.

It’d cast enough further , 10 to 20% i guess from 10 footer rods

thinking about getting the 11 or 12 ft for bank/shore fishing the lower james river . i currently have a diawa BG 5000 on a 9 ft ugly stick GX2 and want a better rod for it to reach out farther and add some quality on a absolute max $100 budget . hoping for big cats , stripers and sharks do come in and go much farther up the river . what are your thoughts . take care , jeff

I have the 12 ft Medium Heavy version and it weighs 20.5 oz. Pretty heavy. Have you had a chance to weigh the 10 footer?

Star Rods paraflex is similar as far as I can see. Really great rod if the breakwater truly is similar to the paraflex that rod is a steal

Thats a cool app to determine how far you cast, which one is that??

Dude,i bought a PEN COMBO ROD AND REEL 11 ft FOR 100 AT ACADEMY IT IS FANTASTIC!!!

Hey man do you think this rod in a 11ft medium moderate fast with 15lb/20lb braid would be too overkill for carp?

How many guides not including tip? Is there one guide on the handle portion? 50/50 split? Thx

My wife bought me one of these rods. Offshore angler Breakwater rod then hurricane Michael hit Florida and I never got to use it until 2024 March and April. Did some striper fishing in lake talquin Florida. Got in a snag and the tip broke of twice as I recovered my $20.00 spoon. I went to amazon and bought a new tip for it thinking I could Salvage the rod. I put the new tip on thinking it would still be usable. I treaded the line and tided on anew lure went out side assembled the rod and grabbed the spoon and pulled down to see it flex. But it didn't flex and it snapped again. WTF? Carbon fiber defective.

In your opinion, do you think this pole can safely cast 5 oz and bait without snapping?

That's one of my favorite childhood spots bro! Caught my first drum there

How comfortable would it be if you were retrieving lures all day???

The 11 and 12 footers are out of stock. The 10’ has a rating of 1-5oz. Is this rod suitable for the surf if it ends up being loaded with 6 or 7 oz?

I have the 12" casting and it's great foe the price

Would you recommend this rod or ocean master casting In 12ft is ocean master worth jump in price?

Do you have a video of you catching anything from that spot ?

What do you think the rod weighs? The St.Croix is like 10.5 ounces.

What was the app you used to measure the cast distance?

You think a 6000size reel with like 30lb braid, 50lb leader be a great combo for this rod?

I only use the offshore angler surf rods ...can't be beat especially for the money .... breakwater, power stick or ocean master

Thanks for all the rod reviews lately. Im looking for a new cat rod. Been debating on the Breakwater and the Ocean master.

What is the name of the app you used to check your location in this video?

Just seeing this video for the first time, impressed with the Breakwater rod, but I cant find anywhere online that says PENN makes the rods for them, everything I see is the cheaper brands have them made in china. I'd love to verify that. I have 2 PENN's the Pursuit & Carnage 9ft & 10ft. I would buy one for this year OBX surf fishing trip to try it out if its true.

Rice rod what long cast budget spin reel do you recommend

May i ask what is the line wight you used?

I got a 12ft Ugly Stik surf rod for 85, with 3-8oz capacity. essentially my Yeet rod

Did you say you use your thumb when casting the spinning reel? That may make a nice video - spinning reel casting setup with hand positioning, cast technique.

How do you think it will handle larger fish in strong current? Something like the 40+ inch stripers in the cape cod canal? I beat the crap out of my stuff up there and this rod would be perfect if it will stand up to those conditions.
