Saintvice it is hard to tell, without at pic, if you can use the baitcaster on the surf rod or not apart from the length of the rod butt. If you have at least 14" of butt length then you should be able to use the baitcaster. <br><br>How wide would you say the baicaster is in inches? Also tell us the color of the reel, name brand and any numbers on it as well. Then I/we may be able to help with more information. <br><br>Burnin Thumbs!<br><br>Steve B <br>Mod-Tackle/Tips & Oz Boards<br><A HREF="http://www.demonjigs.com" target="_new">http://www.demonjigs.com</A>
