Ninja Tackle Dagger 11' Surf Spinning Rod
The Ninja Tackle Dagger 11' Surf Spinning Rod is a versatile surf rod designed for anglers who want exceptional casting performance, lightweight handling, and the ability to fish a wide range of beach conditions. Built on Ninja Tackle's proprietary composite blank and outfitted with premium components, the 11' Dagger has become a favorite among surf anglers targeting everything from sea mullet and pompano to red drum and striped bass.
Whether you're fishing the beaches of Hatteras Island, the Outer Banks, or coastal shorelines across the country, the Dagger 11' offers an ideal balance of casting distance, bite detection, and fish-fighting power.
