:?: hello have any one use this Rod I just have ordered one from Tackle shop UK
If you have own this Rod Please tell me your experience with this
I live in Australia.
The Shimano brief for these Surf rods was simple, design a range of surf rods to suit all conditions and casting techniques.
The result is a versatile, traditional beach rod available in both multiplier and fixed spool 13ft versions that will easily cast weights ranging from 4-8oz.
The rods are built on ultra slim blanks that reduce wind resistance and offer outstanding casting capabilities.
You won't be disappointed with the Nexave Surf - it's up for anything!
The multiplier version is supplied with Shimano's new sliding reel seat.
I wanted to order Esprite but the shipping at harrisspor
was too expensive. I think Tackle shop UK have cheapest shipping |

Be careful of rod manufacturers' claims on how much weight they will cast.
Most 4-8oz rods will be 4-6oz rods and only able to lob the heavier leads gently. As it's a Shimano rod it should be of reasonable quality. They are on par with Daiwa rods generally as far a quality is concerned. |

I bought the fixed spool Nexave from Tackleshop a couple of weeks back. As I'm new to this game I can't give expert comment and I haven't fished with it yet - only killed a few winos over the park.
I'm really pleased with it - casts better than my previous rod and is well engineered.
The reason I chose it is because I contacted a casting instructor recommended by Sea Angler and asked for suggestions. I was going to buy a Daiwa Sandstorm but he said the Shimano was better as an all rounder. I'm using it with a Penn Surfblaster 750 which I'd also recommend.
Tackleshop were the cheapest I found for the rod. The reel I got from a guy on ebay for £45. |
