The abf-90 is not good for deep sea fishing?

I used my ABF-65 for both deep sea and surf fishing. I have used it for 2 years now and it has performed perfectly. The bait feeder option allows you to lower your line with a heavy weight without getting a backlash. The ABF-90 should have plenty of line capacity to catch all but the biggest of fish.

For me? ABF-90 is perfect for deep sea fishing. Most of my catch over 30lb and up, Cobia, Bull Red, Black drum, Black grouper, King Mac. Never have any problem with it. Just taking good care of it after the end each trip. Like; wash the salt water off and oil it

Would not recommend it. It is really a fresh water reel. I have used mine to surf fish, not as smooth as it once was. I have caught 40 pound catfish with it.

DON'T KNOW too far away from ocean. I would get the biggest reel I could get with large line capasity

I use it for freshwater fishing. As far as I know if it's for saltwater, it's good to use it for freshwater too, but not the other way around.

No, it is too light of a rod. Offshore trolling requires a rod with more backbone. Need a heavy action, possibly down rigger style.

I looked all over the rod and couldn't find any. However we drag herring around with them all day. Have even ran HEAVY weights in the ocean with no problem. Hope it helps.

Yes it works well in 40-60 feet deep water and it also works in shallow water but it's harder to tell whats your hook and the fish. One thing I noticed is you can see other lines in the water 3 feet from your finder in 6 feet of water. The deeper you go the more lines you see so basically in 60 feet of water you can see everyone 20 feet around you fishing on the bottom. I watched two guys jigging minnows 20 feet from me in 60 feet of water. As long as you keep your distance you'll be alright. One last thing to note is the display is delayed 1-2 seconds.

yes it is one of the reasons I bought the 6500 series . Use them for stripper fishing , all good .

its meant for salt water but if you are fishing for very large fish you can use it in freash water.

Thats what I bought it for and it works great. As with anything used in salt water, be sure to rinse it good with clean water at the end of the day. I have thrown lures as heavy as 7ozs. and the rod performs well.

Yes it is a good mobile fishing rod for lakes, creeks, or any place you see might have a bass or catfish in it. I would not use it in salt water for larger fish though. I have had no problems with it in the lakes I have fished and caught several bass, crappie, and catfish on it.

Mainly i use this for bottom fishing but the tip is stiff but has good feel. the type of line you use effects the feel as well. with braided line i feel every bite, 60lb mono for trolling. great rod either way

Tried it for saltwater. A litte to short for deep hooked fish. I also bent the tip on a 10 pound bluefish. Fine for smaller fish.

I do not recommend the Deep Sea Cosmetics at all. I would rather go with the Seacret.

Yes, I would never use this in saltwater, also I would not use it for anything bigger than Bluegill or Sunfish if you want it to last, its just not a quality piece.

Sorry, I cannot help you. I have never used these lures in deep salt water. I have only used them in brackish (sp?) water and I have never caught anything on them. So sorry. . .. . .

In my opinion, the Zebco spincast fishing system is not intended for use in salt water. The metal parts of the reel would corrode quickly once exposed to salt . Also, The rod & reel are not durable enough to land any fish much above 6-7 pounds.

The ABS-65a or ABF-90a will be a nice match for a 15' rod. Difference will be line capacity.

i would save your $ and just buy 100lb fishing line. The OOK wire is difficult to use.
