Went to FLIBS Fort Lauderdale international boat show. I got there too early before the show open so I decided to take my toad fish and go try the fish the rocks over here near the Everglades port and Hilton. Saw some sheephead but they wanted shrimp. Can't blame them really. I also like shrimp.
Store owner replied:
Sounds like a fun way to spend the morning before FLIBS! Hopefully those sheepshead take the bait next time. Thanks for taking sharing that video and taking us on your fishing adventures!
Just picked up my third Elite Combo, and can’t say enough about how amazing they are. Can’t wait to put this new 4000 to the test 👏🏼👏🏼
By far and hands-down, one of the best combos I’ve put in my hands. As a professional inshore guide I want the best equipment for my customers. They nailed it with this second generation elite carbon combo. My clients couldn’t stop raving about how well it casts. A Smooth and very distinct drag sound which I now love. Trust me…pick one up. You won’t regret it!
Let me say, I own two other top well known brands (Shimano Vanford, Stradic and Sustain and a Penn Battle II) all paired with high end rods (g loomis, star, etc..) and this toadfish 3000 reel and 7’2” M rod is AWESOME! It holds its own against all the other ones I mentioned! I 10/10 recommend this and DEFINITELY would consider another one myself. Excellent value
Got this halibut on my first day trying out my new toad fish rod combo. I bought the inshore. Love it! Is great for swim bait, or any lure. Very sensitive, you can a feel every bite!
So now I have bought three of these setup's, one for the friend in picture with 8#2oz North Florida Bass. His first fish on Todfish combo. 12# mono, great setup. These are great combos for both fresh and saltwater. I lined one of my with braid and one with momo. Heading out Monday am to the flats by St. Marks lighthouse Monday for redfish, trout and??. Only change I would make to the rod is a clip instead of eye for attaching hook to pole. (Soft bait rigs). You do that and I'll give you a 5 ⭐.
Great customer service and equipment.
That is a picture of my wife with her first catch on the Toadfish Carbon Elite. She caught 3 flounder back to back in a 15 mph Northeast wind and a full moon high tide. She said “ I feel the minnow on the hook and can feel the bite better than I ever could on my other combo.
I landed an 18” flounder on our 2nd day fishing. We are more than pleased with the Carbon Elite combo. There is no comparison to anything we have ever used before. Quality at its utmost.
These rod and reels really are the best. The versatility is amazing. I’ve used my toadfish to catch bass, redfish, sheepshead, and even as a sabiki rod. The customer service is amazing, I won’t be buying a combo from anywhere else.
These are great combos! Today we worked these rods hard. Snapper, Cobia, sharks. Very impressive
I would give them 5 stars for quality but they’re a little pricey.
Just got my elite carbon 3000 with 7’2 M combo today. Am very impressed. I own a Saragossa, Stradic and spinfisher iv and I can say this combo is definitely worth the money. The cast ability of this rod an excellent. The reel feels great. 💯 recommend this combo
The 6'8 Medium is seriously sweet! Comfortable no-slip grip, sweet action and the 2500 reel pairs perfectly. First fish was a solid 26 inch Red that crushed in about 6 inches of water and the combo rocked him! Picked up the 7'2 Medium and 3000 combo while in Charleston but haven't fished it yet. Customer service is great, kitchen and drinkware is great, oysters are the sh#t and I'll continue to be a loyal customer for years to come!
I was skeptical at first but loved what the company stood for and are doing for our Coast. This Rod is absolutely amazing. I cannot believe the quality of the Rod a reel for the price. I do not like unreliable equipment but I can say I trust this combo over rods and reels that cost more individually. If you’re reading the reviews because you’re interested in buying something different from what you have I promise you will not be disappointed. This company has my attention. Also the waterproof pack and the light are also worth more in quality than the price they sell it.
It came in on time looks like a nice set with the power handle I just wish I got the 3000 reel . Something with a deeper spool. Probably use this setup for fresh water.
Haven’t gotten a chance to fish it yet but love the look and incredible customer service. I ordered the elite rod and reel combo and when I received the rod 3 of the eyes were bent. I emailed toadfish and got a response within an hour. They were very apologetic for any inconvenience that it possibly caused me and reassured me that my satisfaction was their top priority. I sent them a few pictures of the bent eyes and within 30 minutes got a response that they were shipping me a new rod to replace it free of charge.
Will be buying from them again and telling everyone that will listen to give them a look as well!
After several trips in my 12’ Carolina Skiff dinghy and a couple of trips on our local “party boat” for snapper, I can resoundingly say that I love this set up! It is MUCH lighter than the Penn rods and reels I’ve used for the past 30 years. I’m still pulling in the same size fish and rather than coming home with a sore shoulder, I no longer hurt for days.
I will say that braid is not effective on a party boat. Drifts everywhere and gets very tangled with everyone. I love it for the dinghy. Not so much with lots of others fishing the snapper spawn at my elbows.
The action with the light set up is much more fun! Easy to cast, easy to work and a very smooth retrieve. Heck, even carrying it to and from the car and boat is easier! The hook keeper has been a cool and unexpectedly wonderful feature. No more hanging on random stuff but still ready to go right away.
I love this little light rod/reel combo! Now, got to go clean all the snapper…
I really like the 7'2 rod. Medium/XF! With a superlight 2500, 3000, and 3500 series reel and 10lb braid, I'm sling-shotting lures. For the price, I plan to grab a few more.
I'm not 100% yet on the carbon series reels but customer service is great! The cheaper reels IMO have been better but only come with the combos.
Overall the rod is nice, ergonomic, grips well and light weight reducing fatique!
Absolutely love this lightweight combo! Redfish, trout, sheephead, ladyfish, stingray; this combo handles it all! Coupled with the large power handle, makes this my new favorite setup.
Went on an inshore fishing trip with this comdo, several nice trout. Set-up worked great, good feel. Nice action. Looking forward to getting into some redfish, sheepshead and grunts. Then I really know how good it is. Very smooth operation. 15# braid with florocarbon leader.
I have yet to get out to throw this. Let me tell you. You guys package the real very nicely. Hate to send her out for some abuse.
Please consider preloading with line. I would pay premium to have this done for me. Lazy fisherman😎
