The reason behind this combo being a bait fishing combo for the beach and not a lure combo is it comes spooled with Platypus Monofillament, or (mono line). The advantage of mono line off the beach when fishing bait is when you get weed drifting down the beach and geting caught in your line mono is much more resistant to getting tangled up in it and braid will tend to wrap up and get damaged. Another advantage is if you do get busted off or tangled it is only one knot to the swivel before your leader instead of having to tie joining knots. The combo comes with a bullet proof Shimano Baitrunner 1200OC fully spooled with 30lb Platypus Monofilament. The Shimano Baitrunner having the baitrunner option is very handy off the beach as you can set the baitrunner so if you get a big fish take your bait it doesnt drag the rod and reel into the water with it. The rod is a Daiwa Beefstick 1403XXHS SURF, this combo is be good for Salmon, Tailor and jewfish but due to the length it is great for distance casting big baits. It also has the strength to handle small Sharks without any issues. The 14ft rod is not the best length to choose if you are a beginner to beach fishing and you should steer towards the 12 and 13ft combos.
