Daiwa Blackline Surf Rods
Daiwa designed this rod series with input from Northeast builders to withstand heavy use and abuse in the surf.

Offering a high pocket waterline for deep wading scenarios, this angler-minded jacket offers 20K / 15K waterproof/breathable performance while boasting fishing-focused details such as large storage pockets with drainage ports and a waterproof, dunkable sleeve sleeve/cuff shingle system so your arms don’t get wet when dunked in-river. $350
247 Lures Chubby Needle (Montauk Special)
Weighted in the tail and coming in just a little over 3oz, the Chubby Needle casts farther and sinks more quickly than the other 247 Needlefish. It can also be worked on the surface like a pencil popper. $27

These durable waders are highlighted by a 30K+ submerged waterproof rating, molded knee pads provide additional comfort on rocky shores, and dual density neoprene stockingfeet keep you warm in cold water. $500
