The advances in fishing technology that have aided the boat fisherman have done little to help the surf caster. He cannot rely on fish finders, radar, or loran to locate productive fishing spots. He must use his own skills and experience to interpret the weather outlook, surf conditions, tide and current direction, and other factors in order to pick a place where he thinks the fish may show up. Unfortunately, the fish do not always interpret these conditions the same way the surf fisherman does and they may decide to show up somewhere else or not at all.
The novice surf caster should consider graphite because its lighter weight and better casting ability will help him learn the basics of the sport without becoming discouraged by awkwardness in the tackle. There is some controversy over the efficiency of a two-piece rod as opposed to a one-piece rod. In the old days two-piece rods were held together by metal ferrules. These gadgets interfered with the action of the rod because they could not bend and acted like dampers between the two sections. Metal ferrules would also corrode and once this happened you were stuck with a one-piece rod that had the action of a two-piece rod.
Fish have a very acute sense of hearing. They can detect vibrations in Page 39 the water and quickly home in on the origin of the sound. Any mechanism that creates a sound similar to the sounds made by the fish's natural food will attract his attention.

It is this sound that attracts them long before they ever see the bait. The odor of the bait is another attraction and the combination of the two act together to convince the fish he should eat your offering.
