Need opinions for a surf rod to pair up with a blue yonder. So I was able to find a real blue yonder made in sweden that has never been used. I want a nice rod for it but not break the bank. Any and all opinions always help! The fun part is going to be learning the blue yonder!

Many options available depending on the species you might target, where you will fish, etc. My blue yonder is married up to a CPS 12 ft 3-7 oz rod. I'm bias but I believe it is a great match for most surf applications.

I would suggest getting a nice rod like the CPS 12 footer I have or one of Tommy's other rods as the blue yonder deserves a nice mate.

If you want to keep the price down try the tsunami 6 - 10 ounce, and Throw only and 5 to 6. With my 6500 I can hit over 500.

how much is your budget? what do you plan on fishing for ? Ocean or Bay ?

 

[eastcoastsurfer]

Mostly a surf rod, I would like 150 or less

I have an original blue yonder Ive had for years I bought at TW's a long time ago, its semi retired now but I have it matched up with a tsunami airwave 10ft rated 2 to 6 oz, I use it for pups, roundhead etc in the first cut super light normally throw 4 or 5 ounces with it occasionally will lob 6 oz if current bad, not a rod for 6 and a head or anything like that but perfect for the small stuff and the reel matches the rod!

Geo, you Fish dam neck lately? I've talked to you on here before, I tried last week with a few small blues but that was it, thanks for advice on the rod. Fun part will be setting the reel up, heard it can be tricky

yeah fished last night till 1am looking for big drum, caught a few pups that was it, fished backbay a lot this year due to the beach combers flocking to damneck caught a few nice fish, had a better season last year though

Has anyone tried NY of the penn surf rods? Are they any good?

 

[surfchunker]

they get decent reviews, buy the best one you can afford, the top one is less than $200, I have half wayed my self broke, buy the best you can so you don't want to upgrade so quick
