I don't own a whuppin stick combo, but it seems like a good choice for some salt water surf fishing or pier fishing. It would be a great cat fishing rig too. I use Okuma Avenger ABF 40 with 14lb mono on a 9' ugly stick for guiding cat fishing trips on the shores of Lake Champlain here in Vermont. Okuma has a great drag system and the bait feed alarm works well for live baiting. I have a couple Avenger ABF 50 with 17lb mono on 9' ugly sticks that I use for personal vacation striper and blue fish fishing. I am happy with the performance, but I wouldn't bring my gear off shore, its just not strong enough. Good luck fishing!

That post is about 3 yrs old. lol
The reel looks good for surf fishing but the rod is only about half the length needed for most surf fishing. A 10 to 12 rod is optimal in order to cast out past the wave breaks on the Pacific coast. The southern states only require a 9 foot rod and the East coast requires a 16 foot surf rod.
Every area is different depending upon what type of tide and current is in the area.

Yeah I saw it was a little old but just hoped that maybe he was still around and would answer.[sly] surf fishing is a whole different animal that I am not sure I want to get into yet. But with my wife's insistence that I take her to a beach I may have to take that route one of these days.[crazy]

Old or new, I have noticed in the past that the answer to ones question on a forum can actually help others out there that couldn't get up the nerve to ask or maybe thought that their question was too stupid.
I usually tell people that the stupidest question is the on that DIDN"T get asked.
