Next, hold the beachcaster rod so that the reel is facing down. Then, using your dominant hand, grasp the bottom of the rod and curl your fingers around the handle. The final thing to look out for when you’re investing in a beach fishing shelter is its quality of manufacture. As this is a Daiwa product, you can be completely confident that this shelter will live up to all your expectations. Hardwearing, durable, and well made, this is a shelter that will see you through a lifetime of shore fishing. It also comes it a fabulous vivid yellow colour. This is a far cry from the carpy olives and khakis of traditional bivvies and it truly sets this shelter apart as a sea angler’s friend. Beachcasters are also often fitted with larger reels, which can hold more line and help to catch bigger fish.

Performance starts with a great blank and Sensor Sand Storm is true to that philosophy, featuring many of Daiwa’s newest design and blank technologies to create a range that is equally refined, rugged and robust. The shelter is secured by piling sand or shingle onto the base flaps to make it stable in even the worst of conditions. It’s quite a roomy design and can fit two inside at a push. The downside is, because of their size and weight, beachcasters are not as portable as other types of rods, but they are well-suited for fishing in areas with a lot of sand or surf!The Beach Buddy Convertible shares many of the features of the original, and highly rated Holden Beach Buddy, but includes some new innovations. The Convertible has the same Beach Buddy profile but now has stronger ‘shingle’ flaps to hold it down. The dome is detachable so the Convertible can also be used as a simple ‘windbreak’. Totally waterproof and windproof the Advanta Protector Beach Shelter has been designed to fold down for easy transport and storage. The shelter provides a large amount of space with room for a seat box or chair. Suitable for locating on shingle or sand, the extended skirt can be buried or weighted down for extra stability and protection. Producing reels since 1955, Daiwastill aims to produce the most technically advanced fishing equipment in the world. This is an aim that is routinely met, and Daiwa is a world leader in coarse, carp, sea, and predator fishing products. The Salt XT shelter has a wide front opening and the mid-section has a flat roof, allowing you to sit inside the shelter and still have a good view of your rods. It’s wide enough for two adults to sit in reasonable comfort too.

For shore fishing, shelters require generous ‘skirts’. These lie flat on the ground so that they can be covered by stones and shingle to prevent the shelter from being blown away. They also help prevent sand from being blown into the shelter. While some shelters offer pegging systems, these are best used in conjunction with skirts rather than as the main method of securing them.I recently had the chance to use this beachcaster, and I was really impressed with its performance. This beachcaster rod is designed for use with multiplier reels, and comes in three different lengths. I had a great time using the PENN Squadron II Surf Rod, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves to fish. If you are looking for a good surf rod, then this is the beachcaster for you! Overall, the Daiwa Saltist Surf Rod is a great option for anyone looking for a beachcaster that can handle larger fish.

Shore fishing beach shelters shouldn’t be confused with standard beach or garden shelters that can typically be bought very cheaply. These simply won’t do the same job or be as durable as purpose-designed fishing shelters.Made with premium carbon blanks, the surf rod is strong and powerful. The model comes in a range of lengths and reelseat options including 12ft6 with either multiplier or fixed spool seating, 13ft6 or multiplier or fixed spool and a 14ft2 with multiplier fittings. The Saltist Surf Rod is made from high quality X45 blanks and features Fuji ‘O’ rings and reel seats.
