Next Section: Drag, Ergonomics, and Ratings
For the main style of surf fishing that I do (using sand crabs and catching corbina, surfperch, yellowfin and spotfin croaker etc.), I like the 86 version with Medium action (MA) rated for 8-17 lbs and oz
It also has premium components like titanium guides with thin zirconia inserts, as well as a unique, contoured reel seat
The frame acts as the reels foundation, so you should ensure that it is one piece
Both rod brands come with high rating reviews from other anglers too
The Revo IKE is designed for bass anglers looking to take their game to the next level and dont mind spending over $200 to do so
