Will a large saltwater reel, like the Daiwa Opus Saltwater Spinning Reel, Opus Saltwater 6000, fit on this rod ?

I don't know about that one specifically but I have a large casting reel on my rod and it fits great.

yes. This rod is sturdy & should be able to bare the weight. You'll love the rod! Good luck. Hope I helped

I bought my glass Cory Filter Rod on eBay. Maybe I got lucky, because mine works and fits perfectly. I was not aware of the different sizes available.

I think there won't be any issues. The case can extend out to over 8feet (I've stored an 8'6" rod in it) so your 6' rods won't be an issue. Not sure about the guides though. I believe the diameter of this is 6" - as long as the width of your rod (with the largest guides) doesn't exceed that, you should be fine. I've packed probably around 8 rods into mine (although they were all casting rods, not spinning, so shorter/lower profile guides all the way through).

SORRY, DO NOT KNOW. Go on line at Okuma site and look up the size reel you want. It should tell.

Yes. I have the 1000,2000, and 4000 - they are all configured the same, just size difference. Best reel I own by far.

We have spinning rods on our round rack. Which work well. Deep sea fishing or large diameter rods may not may not be appropriate for this rack.

No. I returned the one I brought because it will not fit. The rod is too thick to fit.

Yes, but it is designed for freshwater. You should probably get a more sturdy reel for saltwater fishing.

Well if that fine seemingly "cheepo" Diawi DF100A Spinnng Reel was connected to a good quality fishing rod like a 6 or 7 ft boat rod too a 10' too 15' Shakespear Ugly Stick or an Amazon sold Okuma Fishing Rod I suspect one could catch and maybe land a 60LBS Shark!

Actually it may be a little loose as that is a small reel. I used a shimano Sedona 2500 and put a couple of wraps of electrical tape for a snug fit.

Same answer as Edwin. The mount I purchased wasn't same as old one I had mounted on boat. Rod holder would not fit correct.

The rod, perhaps, although anything more than a couple of pounds would be a challenge. The reel is not a saltwater reel and will likely not hold up well if used routinely for saltwater fishing. Occasional use, if followed with a thorough rinse in fresh water and proper lubrication would probably be OK. If you want something for routine saltwater usage, I would not recommend this. If you want something packable and portable, for pond and creek fishing for panfish, trout and bass up to a few pounds, this is a good choice.

It depends upon the model of the rod. I recommend that you go to Shakespeare's website and look up the specifications. http://www.uglystik.com/Ugly-Stik-Bigwater-Rod/1285720,default,pd.html#specifications

I think yes. My grandson will test this it out next spring in Florida. According the specifications it is a superb reel, I have very positive experience with DAIWA. Since I live close to Paris (F) frequent fishing at sea impossible

No it wont. You need to find a "Spinning rod" for this reel. I think they make an Ugly stick spinning rod though.

I have the following on mine and the fit seems just right.Spinfisher V Fishing reel SSV6500, - Best price right here on Amazon.

I use mine as a casting rod, so I mounted a ss butt cap on it after scraping off the foam and been using a Daiwa BG 60 with 25lb test since day 1. Might not be the prettiest of reels, but built to last and take beatings the entire way. Setups been working strong for 12 years so far.
