The Daiwa FT Surf Spinning Rod is a 9-foot, 2-piece medium-power rod built for anglers who want honest performance without the premium price tag. Fiberglass construction gives you the durability to handle repeated casts in the surf zone, whether you're targeting stripers, redfish, or other saltwater species from the beach or jetty. At this length and power rating, it's sized for surf conditions where you need enough backbone to cast weighted rigs and hold bottom in current, yet responsive enough to feel light strikes and work artificially.
This rod comes as a two-piece design, making it easy to transport and store while maintaining the solid backbone you need for extended surf sessions. The medium power rating sits in the sweet spot for general surf work—heavy enough for serious fishing, light enough that fatigue won't wear you out over a long day. Daiwa's value-focused approach means you get quality components and proven engineering without paying for features you won't use.
Whether you're new to surf fishing or returning to it after years away, the FT Surf delivers the reliability and straightforward performance that make a day on the beach enjoyable rather than frustrating. Pair it with your favorite spinning reel and you've got a solid, no-nonsense setup ready for whatever the tide brings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size reel should I pair with this rod?
The 9-foot medium power Daiwa FT is designed to work with standard saltwater spinning reels. Reel choice depends on your target species and the line weight you plan to use, but a 3000–4000 size reel is typical for medium-power surf rods.
Is this rod good for beginning surf anglers?
Yes. The FT Surf is built on straightforward, proven engineering without unnecessary complexity. Its medium power rating makes it forgiving for anglers still learning to read the surf and adjust casting distance based on conditions.
Can I use this rod in freshwater?
While the fiberglass construction is durable, this rod is specifically designed for surf fishing. If you fish in saltwater regularly, rinse it with fresh water after each session to extend its life.
What does two-piece construction mean?
The rod separates into two pieces at a ferrule joint, typically near the middle. This makes transport and storage easier and keeps the rod from taking up too much space in your truck or gear bag.
