Sea Fishing Rods at Gerrys Fishing
At Gerrys Fishing we stock a wide range of sea fishing rods built for UK saltwater conditions — from lightweight spinning rods for bass and mackerel to heavy surf rods and beachcasters for long‑distance casting. Whether you fish from the shore, the rocks, a pier or a boat, our selection of saltwater fishing rods is chosen to give you the best performance and value on every trip.
How to choose your sea rod
Choosing the right sea rod comes down to where you fish and what you target. Shorter boat rods (6–8ft) give control when fishing over the side, while longer surf and beachcasting rods (10–15ft) help you reach the feeding zone from the shore. Match rod power and action to your bait or lure weight and the species you’re after to get the best casting distance and fish‑playing performance.
Our range and what makes them great
We stock spinning rods, casting rods, LRF and light lure rods, plus heavy uptide and boat rods for larger species. All Gerrys rods are selected for durability in saltwater, comfortable grips, lined guides and reliable reel seats — features that matter when you’re battling tides, wind and big fish. For anglers wanting the best sea fishing rods, our team recommends pairing rod choice with the correct reel and line for a balanced setup.

FAO
Saltwater fishing is growing fast worldwide, with millions of anglers chasing after fish from beaches, boats, and shores. The right sea rod can turn a frustrating day into a fishing success story. Choosing the correct rod depends on where you fish, the fish you target, and your style. With so many options—beach, lure, boat, uptide, jigging, and travel rods—knowing which to pick can be overwhelming.
This guide covers all the major types of sea rods. It explains their features, uses, and how to choose the best one for your needs. Whether you’re new or experienced, understanding each rod’s purpose helps you make the best decision and improve your saltwater fishing skills.
Sea rods are specially made for saltwater fishing environments. They handle the harsh conditions of salt, wind, and waves. These rods come in many sizes and strengths, designed for different fish species and fishing techniques.
The main features to look at include the material, length, power, action, and guides. Material affects durability and weight—common options are graphite, fiberglass, and composite. Length impacts casting distance and control, while power and action determine how much strength the rod has and how quickly it reacts.
Choosing the right sea rod boosts your chances of catching fish and makes fishing more fun. A good rod matches the fish you want to catch and how you like to fish.
Beach rods, also called surf rods, are long rods used while standing on the beach or shoreline. They help cast heavy lures or bait far into the ocean. These rods are popular in surf fishing, where distance is key. Their length and backbone allow you to handle big waves and make long casts.
Lure rods are lightweight, designed for casting artificial baits such as soft plastics, crankbaits, or jigs. They’re perfect for targeting species like bass, Pollack and Wrasse.
Lure rods are generally used with spinning or baitcasting reels. Their primary goal is precision casting and feeling bites when fish strike. Different rods suit different lure sizes and fishing styles.
Boat rods are used on fishing boats for inshore and offshore fishing. They are sturdy, designed to handle larger fish and heavy lures. These rods often stay on the boat for jigging, trolling, or a deep drop.
Uptide rods are long, powerful rods made for fishing in tidal zones and deep waters. They allow anglers to cast and fight fish far from the boat, especially in tidal areas.
Choose a rod length between 9 and 11 feet, depending on your target species. Heavier power ratings suit bigger fish, while lighter ones work well for smaller species.
Pair with multi-gear reels capable of handling heavy lines. This combo ensures smooth operation and better control.
Use smooth, steady pulls when fighting fish. Avoid rushing the fight to prevent line breaks. Practice casting at different angles to master long-distance throws.
Designed for vertical jigging, these rods excel in deep-sea fishing. They help anglers cast jigs down and lift swiftly to entice fish.
Drop the jig straight down, then lift and drop repeatedly. Fast, sharp movements mimic injured prey, attracting big fish like Bass & Cod. Pair with high-speed reels for quick line retrieval.
Travel rods are designed to be portable. They fold, telescope, or collapse for easy packing. Perfect for trips where space and weight matter.
Always rinse your travel rod after saltwater use. Store in a protective case during transport. Choose multi-purpose rods that suit different techniques like casting or jigging.
