Quick take
A two-piece medium-power surf rod with fast action for casting from the beach to striped bass and other saltwater species.
The Daiwa Beefstick BSS1202MHS is a 12 ft two-piece surf spinning rod with a medium-heavy power and a fast action. The long blank helps you launch baits past the breakers from the beach, and the EVA foam handle gives a comfortable two-handed grip. It suits surf anglers who want a rod for casting bait or lures into the waves with 17 to 40 lb line.
Best for
- Casting from ocean beach into the first break
- Striped bass and larger redfish over sandbars
- Anglers who want a portable 2-piece rod for easier travel
Skip if
- Inshore fishing in shallow bays where a lighter rod works better
- Wading in marshes; the surf taper is too fast
Strengths
- Two pieces break down for compact storage or air travel
- Fast action gives feedback on bottom and lure action
- EVA foam grip stays comfortable when wet with salt spray
Trade-offs
- The two-piece construction adds a joint that can collect sand
- Fast action is stiffer; large fish hooks can tear free if the rod bends
- At 17-40 lb range, it is not ideal for ultralight or very heavy tackle
