Emblem Pro Surf Rods - Anyone seen or used one
Submitted by Colin Hay on Mon, 2009-07-27 13:48
They look like Daiwa's follow up to the Moonraker, but I can't find any reviews on them.
Has anyone ever seen one?
Does anyone have an idea on what they are like?
And how much do they cost?
Any input would be gratefully accepted, Colin Hay

I think they have fairly
I think they have fairly similar features to the moonrakers (they say spin, whereas the moonrakers were spin or overhead, but they have the same low rider guides, so maybe you can still run an overhead). Depending on the model they're around the $400 range. Dont know much more than that though. Best bet would be to have a look at one in a tackle store I guess.

Thanks Matt
I am not sure if anyone around here carries them. I will have to get out and have a look around (that could be dangerous).
I am hoping they don't have the same high reel mount as the Moonraker.
Thanks again,Colin

Hi Poketz
What decided you to go for the sensor surf? They also look very nice.

Maybe I should have a look at them
The price seems good and I am a bit rough handed as well. Thanks for the heads up.
