3-7 oz 12ft - my go to Pompano rods. They are so light, I hand hold one full time, chasing pompano. I feel them pickup the bait and I fish a moving leader setup, folks like Nick, like to use spider weights. I have fished with Nick a few times, with him showing up and stopping as he rolls PINS.
Here's my PINS blast and cast - run and gun the sand - setups.
Nick and I are probably the only pair, who take surf fishing PINS seriously anymore? And I mean, casting long distance surf rods, zero kayak, and running the sand chasing selective species only. Which require constant moving till a pattern is found
Nick has his stuff made by Chinese - I build mine with Japanese made components and a mix of rod blanks made here in the USA, China and England.
He's a cool chap and he and I go back when OZ, was just showing up on PINS and Billy Sandifer was the man. Always will be the man on PINS. Oz got to learn from a bunch of the older guys - which I have fished with OZ chasing snook at PM jetties when he was driving from Austin to fish - he hadn't yet moved to the coastal bend.
Yeah - I guess I'm an old timer
4 Blanks here are CCP, one Lamiglas and the other BATSON/RAINSHADOW. Smaller blanks in the 8ft class - I lean hard on United Composite blanks - which then transition into offshore setups on United Composite offshore lineup.
