Supports my book http://StriperPursuit.com. This is a surf rod review. The Tsunami Airwave Elite 1102M is a nice open beach rod at a very reasonable price.

Would you recommend this over the Lamiglas XS 101ms? (GSB1201L Factory Rod). Can’t decide between the two. Would be used for plugging. Also, are rods with the K guides worth it? The lami just as the Fuji Alconite concept guides.
Mr.Skinner, how do you find these spots that you fish at?
John I am a casual surf fisherman, three weeks out of The year, I have 2 7 foot rods a ugly stick and a Shakespeare. I am looking to get a surf Rod, good for the pier and surf, would the 10 foot, serve my needs? Another question I had is how much more distance do you getfrom a 10 foot, and a 12 or 14 foot, is it that significant?
got a 10’6″ tsunami airwave surf, almost similar with yours here, sir. planning on cutting off 1-foot off the bottom same thing you did on one of your 10′ lamiglas in your other video. wished i have a better location like you guys have; not much around the surf out here in Virginia beach. but great video nonetheless. also got your “bucktail” book. although i have yet to catch a game fish around these shores i know it’s just a matter of time. im learning a lot, thanks.
good morning. I just started getting into surf casting. I fish over by cupsauge beach. is it better to fish the pocket by the inlet or fish the sand bars? also if after a while if nothing is biting should I move around or stay in that spot? im using poppers, plugs and bucktails. thanks for the help and all the videos/books.
Cani make a rod and reel review series every time u get a new rod
hey john, just starting to get into fishing. currently reading your book fishing the buck tail. is this a good rod to buck tail with? I’m looking for a rod that is not going to kill my wallet. i currently use a 10ft uglystik but it is not doing the trick. i can barely feel the buck tail tapping the ground. thanks!!!
John, how would you compare this rod to the 11ft PENN PREVAIL which is a bit cheaper then this rod.
You put tons of time/thought/effort in your work John….but Man, what fun work!
Hi john skinner where were you fishing for this video
Would this balance well with a vs200 for a plugging rod? I’m between this and the St. Croix mojo. Thank you!
Nice review!!! I cant say much about those rods never used one but the popper is top notch love them have all shapes sizes and colours and a bargain for the buck! Thanks as always for sharing!
hi john can you tell me what is the different on a tsunami 10 ft medium heavy and 11 ft medium is because i ant to buy a surf rod but the 11 is too big for my car to carry
Hey John, can you recommend me a 9 or 10 foot plugging rod for around $200 that can throw 2-3 oz comfortably? Thanks
What happened to all the stripers in the sound?
Hi John. Thanks for the video. Great information. I was wondering if you had a chance to test out the 1102H and if so, what you felt was the major difference between the 1102H and the 1102M. I know it’s rated 1/2 ounce heavier on both low and high but as far as weight of the rod and feel of the rod if there is a major difference? I have a 10’6′ rod rated at 3/4 to 2 3/4 rod now and wanted something a bit heavier to handle some of the bigger plugs and bucktails(most of those weighing around 3oz with a few around 4). Do you think I’d be ok with the 1102M or should I go with the 1102H. This rod will be used in beach, bay, jetty and inlets. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
John, any chance you could recommend a setup (rod, reel, line, etc.) for fishing via boat on LI Sound topwater for Bass/Blues? Thanks.
I have the same rod with a Diawa Saltist 4500H and love it. I also have used my Shimano Stratic 6000FI and it worked well also. The biggest reason I originally bought the rod because of the lighter weight so I can cast longer with my torn right rotater – lol
i’ve had this rod for a year and absolutely love it. i’ve done everything with it such as plugging and bottom fishing. super light rod, can’t wait to pair it with a van staal soon
Heavy*
hello mr. John I enjoy this video thank u so much. I want to ask you how many kg or pounds does it fight ? This rod
I have to say THANK YOU John Skinner.
This video helped me a lot to decide to buy this amazing surf rod.
And does it light or heavu rod ?
Hello John. casting distance better than St. Croix Model MSS106MM2 ?
Hey John, do you think this rod could lob a 9″ 4.5oz sebile magic swimmer knockoff that my tackle store sells?
My primary rod is the 10′ 6″. I love it. Landed fish to 45# with it this year. I am weird and use a vs150. I know, blasphemy “the reel is too small”. BS, it holds 300yrds of line no problem. no issues so far, I walk 10+ miles some nights I need the setup to be light, light light. Throws everything from 1/2oz bucktails to 3.5oz dannys and even lob 4oz+ riggies without much of a problem. 30# powerpro super slick 8. Like I said had no problem putting the heat to my personal best 47.5″ fish (which I caught in the SCJ catch and release tourney!) & multiple fish over 25#…
John, could this rod be a replacement for the custom GSB 120 1L? I want to use 3/4 Bucktails and eels on this rod with a SSV6500BLS
Would the 10′ 6′ model go good with a 5000 clash ?
i mean St. Croix Mojo Surf Spinning Rods St. Croix Model MSS106MM2
Length 10’6″ / Sections 2
Thanks Mr Skinner. Great review!just ordered mine off eBay, free ship$ 179.99
Hey John, i was hoping you could make a video explaining how to read the surf for cover and structure or at least direct me to a good video. I’ve seen a few but none really give that proper explanation like you do on your videos. I watch all of yours and prepped myself with all i need and i go out to the surf and catch nothing. not only that but no one around me as far i could see isn’t catching anything either which tells me that i need to choose a better spot to target the fish.
Hello John. I enjoy your clips very much and learn a lot. What type of knots do you use? (braid to swivel and fluorocarbon to swivel and clip) Thank you.
