Just out of curiosity, how did you lose it?

Will keep an eye out for it, but with the current state of the tides, who knows where it could have been pushed to.

Too bad, but all you can do is ask, right?

My guess is that it got pulled in had it at the waters edge on a pvc rod holder. Because if it had just fallen over it would have been laying there. Never hurts to ask just in case. Thanks again to all.

The tension/stretch on the line on the line while sitting in the rod holder is enough to pull it into the surf a good ways if it falls over. Seen it happen first hand. Buddy of mine didn't push the holder down far enough in the sand and I caught in the corner of my start falling over and watched it sling into the water. Luckily it was clear and found it just over the first bar.

Sounds like a good reason to invest in a shark tower! Hope you find your stuff!

I have heard of people losing rods that way, I do have a shark tower but the misses needed the truck to run some errands and that is way I put the rods on pvc normally they would be on the shark tower, should have listened to the warning signs because I have two other rods fall from that holder, I just kept digging it down and putting another rod in there.

If I'm using PVC I'm knocking them into the sand with a sledge hammer. I put the handle part in the rod holder and slam down the head of the hammer. I get them.easily 2 feet in the sand. Most of the time they have to be dug out. That being said I still don't use them for large shark baits.

Really do hope your stuff turns up.

Tigh a 4oz spider weight on your best caster and drag and drag. My buddy snagged my favorite Abu after it had been in the surf all day and all night. Only thing he's ever caught. Laughing
