All variations sport a sliding DPS Reel Seat so you can adjust your reel placement to what is most comfortable. The rod also sports a Seaguide Deep Drawn Frame with an aluminium oxide ring that prevents erosion from the sea water. 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. 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. 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. Some beachcasters are even built specifically for surf casting, which is when you cast your bait or lure into the surf zone in an attempt to catch fish that are feeding near or on the bottom.

They’re relatively affordable, and with the right instruction, you can be casting your bait out into the waves in no time! How To Cast A Beachcaster Rod 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!

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. Beach casters can range from 12′ to 16′ in length and designed to cast 4 – 8oz leads a long distance. The titanium oxide guides provide great durability and line management, while the rubber shrink-wrap handle ensures a comfortable grip even when wet. Overall, I was extremely impressed with this beach caster – it’s definitely a great value for the price. I would highly recommend this rod to anyone looking for an affordable beachcaster that performs well! The Saltist Surf Rod is made from high quality X45 blanks and features Fuji ‘O’ rings and reel seats.

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. 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. This beachcaster rod is designed for use with multiplier reels, and comes in three different lengths.

About the product

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. It is longer and heavier than other types of rods, which gives it more power to cast farther out into the water. 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’. I have fished all over the world and tried many different techniques, but my favorite way to fish is from the shore. There is something about sea fishing that is so peaceful and calming. It is the perfect way to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. Compared with the bivvies used by carp anglers, shore shelters are generally small and lightweight and have relatively compact ‘footprints’. However, there are some very substantial shelters on the market that do offer more space, but this inevitably comes at a cost in respect of extra weight and bigger size, even when folded down. Larger shelters are probably worth considering if you fish long sessions on particular beach marks regularly, whereas smaller, lighter shelters are ideal for shorter sessions.

It’s finished in a subtle dark blue color scheme with highlighted white tips, which makes it easy to see when a fish bites.

This shelter is the big brother of the successful Ian Golds Igloo, and, as the name suggests, it really is big. Comfortably the biggest in this test, it’s also the heaviest by half a pound. The original Igloo was renowned for being generously proportioned, but the Bigloo has two-and-a-half square metres of floor space, although it is laid out in a different manner. However, this is a very tall shelter and most adults will be able to stand up in it. I recently had the chance to use this beachcaster, and I was really impressed with its performance. You don’t want to be too close to other people or obstacles, as this could interfere with your casting.
