Not familiar with that rod...but I know the reels work great so far...but any good 30-50 would work good...I personally like the all roller rods...I bought the davis 30-50

I agree with Rodney, it should be fine on that rod. I also have it on a heavier rod.

Starting a child out with an inferior rod and reel combination can end up discouraging them. I would highly recommend the Zebco 33 combo. It is light weight and functions flawlessly.

it should be a spinning rod for these okuma spinning reels with large eyes starting at lower mid rod for casting, take a look at some more rods before you buy,be sure that you match them up for casting,if that bwc11022120 is a 12 foot surf rod you are ok, hope this helped you

It will work just fine! Keep in mind what you are fishing for and always balance your rod/reel with each other...

The Nomad rod is a pretty heavy duty stick. With the lighter medium tip, it would work with the Baitfeeder 50a, but I would find it out of balance. (Over-rodded, under-reeled. A 7000-8000 size spinning reel is a good balance. I sometimes use a Penn Spinfisher 7500 on mine. For Conventional reels, a 30-50 size is about right. If you are set on using the Baitfeeder 50a, Okuma also offers a Nomad Xpress, which is the same rod blank, but lighter and smaller grips and hardware, and comes in a 20-40 line weight model, which would be about perfect. (only one tip, but a lot more reasonable $)

I use the Cedros 40clf on mine. I have put a 50 on it too. The 40 manages good sized Redfish, Stripers up to 39" and small Mahi Mahi, Lesser Amberjacks, Bonito, Albacore and Yellow Tail. I use food braid and dampen that with flurocarbon leader. Drag is the issue and line test that will not over stress the rods test weight. I believe you will be happy with the combinations.

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

Yes, that should not be a problem. This reel works with both 9 and 7 weight. Just match the line to the rod.

I have the spinning rod, use it with a 4000 sustain for light salt water. Great rod for the size.

You could use 5\16 but it wouldn't look right. Too small. They are made for a 1 and 1/2 in rod.

I agree with the other posters. You'd have to cast it. The rod and reel are heavy. My wife can't cast it if that helps at all.

Ugly stick is a great rod. I have two. A 9 ft rod shall be perfect with your Okuma reel. Gary

I'm using one on a 5/6 weight rod that I've set up for trolling flies. I never cast with it, so the heavier line isn't a problem. A heavier rod would increase the chance of breaking a light tippet on a strike.

Yes as long as you have the proper adapter. Some units come equipped with a limitation of the number of rods you can add on. As I do not know what kind of unit you have, I can't give you anymore information. If you can send me a photo and the unit model perhaps I can help you. I also have a couple of spare rod adapters cheap if you need one. Thanks Juan

Best to go online and check on the Okuma website. Also there many other sites can will tell you.My best guess is that the reel is for a 4 or 5 weight rod Here's a Amazon 5 star rating review on the reel review : OKUMA SLV Reels, February 16, 2011 By RobertoThis review is from: Okuma SLV Diecast Aluminum Fly Reel (Sports) I bought an OKUMA SLV 4/5 for my 4 weight rod after a friend recommended it and it is awsome. Very smooth. Now if you buy from Amazon read below, go to the OKUMA site first to figure out which reel size you need.

My rod was 7ft. / you can use up to 30lb test with good results ,if you will be mostly fishing for bass in open water , I would suggest 14lb test . hope this helps you , God Bless

I would say yes I have a daiwoo electric 750 on it which in not small. I enjoy the rod for halibut fishing.
