Surf Fishing Gear : Rods & Reels

At Red Sky Surf Hunters, we believe the right rod and reel are the backbone of every successful day on the beach. Whether you're casting into calm morning tides for perch or braving heavy surf for halibut and stripers, your gear needs to perform when it counts. We feature surf rods ranging from 8 to 15 feet, designed for long-distance casting, strength, and control. Pair them with high-capacity spinning reels that offer smooth drag, corrosion resistance, and the power to handle tough fights in saltwater conditions. Whether you assemble your own or let us match a custom combo for you, we’ve got the tools to help you fish smart and cast far — one hook at a time.

Assembling Your Own Surf Combo

You don’t have to rely on pre-packaged sets — building your own surf rod and reel combo lets you create a setup that fits your style, your target species, and the California surf conditions you fish in. Choosing your rod and reel separately allows you to dial in the right length, power, action, and reel size for a more customized and effective experience.

Not sure where to start? Red Sky Surf Hunters can assemble the right combo for you — whether you're a beginner looking for a solid first setup or a seasoned angler ready to upgrade. We’ll match gear that works together and stands up to the elements, so you can focus on the cast, the tide, and the catch.
