Yokozuna Ryoshi Surf
The Yokozuna Ryoshi surf hybrid tip is a Japanese style surf/beach casting rod. The rod its self a carbon blank, suitable for fixed spool users comes in 3 sections totalling 4.2 meter (14ft) and a casting weight of 100-200g (3-7oz).
SIC LC guilds and a metal butt cap and a DPS screw-lock reel seat.
I think most people will know the Yokozuna name well for the wide range of lures they have on offer but how many of you anglers have used one of there rods. The Yokozuna range are available from Tronixpro I brought this one from Bait and Tackle Ryde @ £52.99 which for the price you pay you are getting an extremely good all round rod.
I found the rod itself is very nice looking it most certainly stands out with the yellow colouring in addition to the colour the Fuji SiC guilds and Fuji reel seat and highly finished wiping sets the whole rod off.
It casts extremely well, I've used up-to a 5oz and bait but I found that a 3-4oz works best (for myself) it has certainly improved my casting distance (adding maybe 20 to 30 yards) so I am pleased, using a tronixpro 5/0 pulley rig with the hybrid tip it has a very sensitive bite detection and even with a 3oz on it keeps it ground, I will be looking at getting some more rods and reels from Tronixpro
Probably best described as a Continental style rod, I believe that this style of rod are used widely in Spain and are fast becoming very popular in the UK. I think that this rod with the Yokozuna Surf 60 6000 reel combination work really well.

Yokozuna Ryoshi Surf 60 6000
In combination with the surf rod this reel dose what it says on the box it is a very smooth well casting reel, made in ultra-light, corrosion-resistant graphite it has a 7 bearing technology = 1 infinite anti-reverse bearing 6 ball bearing. Progressive, watertight adjustable drag system makes setting the drag easy which really works well.
With the Balanced rotor and over sized line guild, Machined aluminium handle with a over-sized rubber grip it make the reel a pleasure to use. The reel comes with a aluminium standard capacity spool and 2 special spare graphite spools for surf casting. Although I have not tried surf casting with this combo yet I'm 110% sure that it will not let me down,
Overall I'm that impressed with this combo that I will be looking at buying some more rod and reel combos from Yokozuna and cant wait to trying them out I will be looking at maybe something I can use on the boat.
