Beulah G2 Opal Surf Two Hand Rod # 5/6 - 11 ft Coastal Seatrout & Big Trout

The Surf Fly Rod from the G2 Opal Saltwater family is a reimagining of the beloved Platinum series, which had become a favorite among saltwater anglers. But why release an updated version? Simply because the rod designers at Beulah were confident they could combine the much-loved characteristics of the old series with the benefits of modern blank technology—thanks to the use of graphene resin!The unique matrix structure of graphene provides the carbon fibers with even greater structural integrity, making the blank extremely robust yet incredibly lightweight. The result of this exclusive material blend is rods that stand out, particularly for their low swing weight, noticeable from the very first cast.

These remarkable properties have captivated fly fishers in both fresh and saltwater settings, leading to the release of another rod in the G2 Opal Saltwater series: the Beulah G2 Opal Surf. This rod was specifically designed for hunting roosterfish and other surf species from the beach, where quick and effortless casting—even with large flies—is essential. These same features have also won over trout and sea trout anglers, as the rod excels in shooting flies with just one or a few overhead casts. Whether executing snap-T or spey casts, you’ll immediately notice its power and ease, even with sinking lines, making it an ideal choice for steelhead fishing as well.

Thanks to its fast action and minimal oscillation, the rod creates tight loops that cut through the wind with impressive distance. Additionally, the G2 Opal has ample reserves of strength to not only enhance casting power but also handle the fiercest predators with ease.

The advanced material blend is paired with the characteristic blank properties of the Beulah Opal series: a fast blank with even faster recovery. The new blanks not only reduce the rod’s overall weight and swing weight but also eliminate unwanted lateral vibrations. This makes clean, tight loops even easier to achieve. Overhead casts with both hands feel effortless as the rod loads efficiently and releases its energy in powerful, long-distance casts—a fantastic feature for sea trout fishing from the shoreline.

The rod’s aesthetics and craftsmanship are impeccable. The sleek dusk-blue blank is equipped with high-quality stainless steel snake guides and titanium stripping guides, all perfectly wrapped and finished. The premium cork handle, with subtle embellishments, feels superb in hand and is complemented by a beautifully anodized aluminum reel seat.

The Beulah Opal G2 Surf Fly Rod is a new, ultra-light fly rod designed for everything from small stream trout to sea trout and smaller salmon in coastal rivers.
