iRod Kaimana Coastal 2pc Surf Rod

Product Info

The iRod Kaimana Coastal Spinning Rod is a purpose-built inshore weapon designed specifically for the demands of Southern California saltwater fishing. Developed with input from local anglers and refined by iRod founder Matt Newman, this model delivers a precise balance of sensitivity, casting performance, and fish-fighting power—making it an ideal choice for targeting spotted bay bass and other coastal species.

Built on iRod’s proprietary Kaimana graphite blank, the 862SS-2 utilizes advanced WxW (Wide X-Wrap) reinforcement to enhance structural integrity while maintaining a lightweight, responsive feel. This construction allows anglers to detect subtle bites with ease while still having the backbone needed to handle aggressive fish and heavier loads.

Outfitted with Fuji K guides with Alconite inserts, the rod promotes smooth line flow and minimizes friction—especially beneficial when fishing braid-to-leader setups common in inshore applications. The ergonomically designed handle features premium EVA grips and a custom iRod reel seat, delivering all-day comfort, durability, and control in wet conditions.

At 8’6” in length, this model excels in maximizing casting distance, making it highly effective for covering water from the kayak, shoreline, or open bay. Its medium power with a fast action provides the versatility needed for a wide range of techniques—from finesse swimbaits and jerkbaits to underspins and light jig heads.

• Custom Kaimana graphite blank with WxW reinforcement for strength and sensitivity
• Fuji K guides with Alconite rings for smooth casting and reduced line tangles
