I own seven Legend Casting rods, and after surfcasting all over the world—from Montauk to Mexico, Uruguay, Brazil, Costa Rica, and beyond—I keep coming back to this rod. I’ve tried just about everything: high-end customs like Century , Breakaway, Loomis, and paired them with reels from Daiwa, Shimano, Abu, and more. Still, the Legend stands apart.
It’s a true all-purpose workhorse. The components are top-notch and built to last. The balance and feel in hand are excellent, and the pulling power is incredible. Fighting a fish with this rod is an experience in itself—the responsiveness and control are second to none.
When it comes to pure casting distance, you might find rods that edge it out. But honestly, why bother? Most anglers don’t even cast correctly to take advantage of that extra margin. For me, the Legend delivers everything I need—and more—making it my go-to rod no matter where in the world I fish.
