The Aerlex Surf combines affordability with impressive casting performance and build quality, making it ideal for the serious angler on a budget, or the improving angler looking to step up the price scale. The Aerlex Surf sits just below the middle of the Shimano surf range and offers a great combination of affordability and high performance. Designed with a quick tip, the rods have a versatile casting action that can be easily compressed and will suit anglers of all abilities to achieve their longest casts. If you are looking for affordability, combined with good casting performance and sensitivity, the Aerlex Surf could be your perfect solution. The Aerlex's Full Carbon blanks are remarkably lightweight and well balanced, yet deceptively powerful when pushed to their maximum compression. You will almost certainly be surprised at how well they cast, regardless of your experience with power. Sensitivity comes from the hybrid tips fitted to all models, with the exception of the 425T which has a stronger concave tip. The hybrid tips have a seamlessly split solid section, which increases the sensitive bites of smaller fish. The beautiful blanks feature Seaguide XOG or XEOG guides, including Lowrider guides on some models which are all corrosion resistant, lightweight and safe for use with braid. A Shimano DPS reel seat is suitable for the largest 14000 surfcasting reels and is positioned in such a way that you can create maximum leverage with your underhand while casting. Based purely on a price/quality ratio, it is hard to beat the Aerlex Surf. With high quality tackle, beautiful graphics and an easy casting action this is a rod that will appeal to a wide range of anglers of all levels.
