Experience night-time beach fishing with a rod that actually helps you see the bite. The Kilwell LED 1203 80-150g Surf Rod is built for shore-based anglers who fish after dusk, when the ocean comes alive and wary fish move closer to the shore. At 12 feet, this long-range surf rod is optimized for casting into the swell and delivering accurate, controlled retrieves when visibility is limited.

The defining feature is the integrated LED tip light. A dedicated light inside the tip section illuminates the strike zone so you can pick up on subtle takes the moment they happen. No more guessing in low light—the bite becomes evident, helping you react faster and land more fish.

• LED bite indicator in the tip: built-in illumination that makes takes obvious in evenings, dawns, or overcast nights.
• Replaceable E27A battery: battery fits securely into the base of the tip section and is protected from the elements, ensuring reliable performance in damp beach conditions.
• Two batteries included: the package comes with 2 x E27A batteries so you’re ready to fish right away and can swap on the go.
• Reflective butt for safety: a glow-in-the-dark reflective butt section lights up when headlights or a torch shines on it, increasing visibility to others on busy beaches or access roads.
• Durable and ready for surf: designed for 80-150g casting range, this rod handles mid-size surf species and delivers consistent performance as the tide shifts.
• Kilwell Lifetime Warranty: backed by Kilwell’s trusted quality promise for peace of mind on every session.

Who is this rod ideal for? Beach or coastal anglers who prefer late-afternoon, dusk, or moonlit sessions and want reliable bite detection without constantly fidgeting with line tension. It’s especially well-suited to anglers targeting species that feed aggressively at night or during the first few hours after sunset, when the water cools and the bite becomes more active.

How it helps you fish smarter than a standard surf rod: the hidden LED tip turns ambiguous, soft takes into an obvious signal, so you can react promptly, set the hook with confidence, and keep your line in the strike zone longer. The reflective butt adds a practical safety feature for night launches or early-morning trips along busy beach access points.

Included with the Kilwell LED 1203: 12-foot rod with 80-150g casting range, integrated LED tip lighting, protective weather-ready assembly, 2 x E27A batteries, and Kilwell’s Lifetime Warranty.
