January 12, 2012 (Sonoma, CA): Casting into the surf evokes a distinct sense of awe and anticipation. Standing at the mouth of the open ocean amid the sound of waves crashing and a blitz of Montauk stripers or bearing the Baja heat for the take of a roosterfish is pure fly fishing bliss. But it's not without harsh winds and difficult casts. Beulah tailored their latest
Surf Series of fly rods to excel in these raw, exhilarating, and demanding conditions.
Crafted to maximize your casting efficiency and range where distance is king and weather can be taxing, the
Beulah Surf Series Fly Rods are the preeminent option for coastal anglers and saltwater enthusiasts. Available in three models, the Beulah Surf Series is the result of a dedicated mission to produce two-handed rods that are not just adequate in in the surf, but refined tools that command the water in a way no ordinary Spey rod can. Simply put, the
Beulah Surf Fly Rods are designed to provide anglers with easy distance. Granted, distance is not everything in surf fishing, but anyone who has dabbled in the surf appreciates how conditions sometimes make even mid-length casts difficult. A stiff onshore breeze can make getting beyond the breakers a lot to ask of your average single hander. And double hauling a nine weight all day can make fly fishing seem like work, which it never should.
With every feature honed to better your surf casting abilities—from the elongated grips that support overhead two-handed casting to an action that lends itself to powerful casts and big flies—the
Beulah Surf Series is entirely saltwater safe and backed by a lifetime warranty. These rods take the effortless power that two handed rods provide to swing fishermen, and bring it to the overhead casting arena for a hugely efficient experience. Beulah Surf Rods make surf fishing something you can enjoy for a quick evening session out at San Francisco's Ocean Beach, or a weeks-long cast-a-thon camping on Baja's gypsum sand beaches. The
Beulah Surf Series has also found a dedicated base among avid steelheaders in BC, sea-run brown anglers in Tierra Del Fuego, and a slew of Salmon fishermen in Alaska, so don't let the name deter you from swinging flies on your favorite river.
The Lineup
The
7/8 Surf Rod is Beulah's lightest model in the Series, and will outcast a ten weight single hander with half the effort. A super-sensitive fish fighting machine, the
Beulah 7/8 Surf Rod will allow you an evenly matched battle with surf perch and schoolie stripers. For blasting casts on Maine's rocky shores, or playing in the gentle rollers at Bolinas, CA, choose the
Beulah 7/8 Surf Rod.
As the all-rounder in the Surf Series, the
8/9 Beulah Surf Rod provides a bit more power for carrying flies and beaching fish than the 7/8. Heavily weighted bunker flies and sinking shooting heads are no match for the
8/9 Surf Rod. Moby stripers from the beach, jacks on a tidal rip, or even bluefish from the bow of a bay skiff – with the
Beulah 8/9 Surf Rod, the possibilities are limitless.
For the most challenging casting environments, and the hardest-charging fish around, reach for the
Beulah 10/11 Surf Rod. This beastly stick is light in hand, a pleasure to cast, and a serious weapon that puts you in the driver's seat early on in a fish fight. The
Beulah 10/11 Surf Rod is the tool of choice for Baja's roosterfish, powerful, fast-moving predators that have a tendency to move into – and back out of – the range of a single hander faster than you can double haul, twice.
