Casting surf fishing rods is a bit different than your typical inshore setup.
Unlike traditional inshore spinning gear, the surf rods require a much longer swinging motion due to the extra length of the rod along with 2 oz.+ sized weights.
When done properly, these rods can cast baits extremely far… much farther than traditional inshore combos.
So if you’re going to be doing a lot of surf fishing, you need to keep these tips in mind!

The first thing you’ll notice is surf rods are much longer and the rigs are also longer than typical inshore presentations.
The tip section of surf rods is more flexible than inshore setups to help with casting distance.
This is all about TIMING!
You want to feel like you’re swinging a bucket of water without spilling a single drop.
Capt. B prefers to sit the lead weight behind him on the sand to prepare the cast.
Without doing that, the whip of the rod can fault the cast and you might lose your baits.
Place your non-dominant hand on the base of the butt of the rod and your dominant hand up near the reel.
Take one step forward and follow through with the rod over your shoulder simultaneously releasing the line.
