What's the heaviest fish you've caught on this?

I feel that the rod would easily handle a much larger fish than the one I caught. It is very well constructed. The 3 lb. fish didn't phase it in the least.

I purchased this for my bugout gear for its extremely small size when broken down. Havent actually used it though. The storage tube is great to also hold tackle and small tools!

I bought this pole because it packs down to a small size for surf fishing in the ocean for perch and corbina.I bought the largest one they make which is over 9 feet. it's got some backbone to it and can fling a 2 ounce weight really far.if you're looking to catch really big fish go to a one piece pole. I don't see any problems catching a 10 or 20 pound fish with it though.

On the rod itself it says 4/5 weight. I used 4 wt line and 5 wt line. I noticed when I used the 5wt I missed a lot of fish. So I am going back to the 4wt. Lol

Between two to three pounds but if you're A real fisherman you can tell your frirnds that you caught one on it that weighed around eight pounds. Its amazing how fast A fish grows after you catch it. They're not going to believe you anyway. Nice little outfit. I bought A few to give as gifts. Great response from friends "especially children." Have fun Sincerly George Lee

I think it is too heavy for crappie fishing. Go with a medium or medium light pole for that.

Mine is the same,I have not had any issues with it and have caught some nice fish,tuna up to 25kgs dolphin fish to14kgs.I think it is designed that way to allow for wear over time?

I fish from a kayak and have had no problems pulling in 20-60 lb fish - wahoo, shibi (small ahi/yellowfin) - no blues in Hawaii. I run power pro w/ mono top shot. Sorry if you're after bigger fish - I don't have the experience w/ the reel.

Not exactly sure. I'd put it at around 5lbs. It's manageable. Good rod, and I fish more than the average bear.

I have actually used this rod with 65 lb braid and successfully fished 120 fathoms (720 feet) for ehu. The rod performed great often pulling up multiple fish at once. The fish I was targeting weren't over 6lbs each and its a whole lotta work bringing um up from that depth, but the rod performed fine. Worth the money to me...hope that helps. Carl B. Maui, Hawaii

I would say 4 pounds if they are very thick.I put a tablespoon over the mound rather than their directions of around the mound & sometimes it takes a little more than a week.Amdro has been the best bait for me.

O yea that is plenty the catfish won't be going on longer runs so that's long enough and the weight, never worry about that if you match it I've.caught a 120 pound sea turtle on 25 braided just make a mono or fluoro leader so it doesn't break on a rock

Sorry to say, but this is a strong reel meant for Marine Fishing. Put some strong line on it and go after the big fish !Keith S.

I have two of these rods. Short but strong....yesterday in the bay of Crystal River, Florida brought in a nice four pound Spanish Mackerel. The fish took two runs ripping line off reel, rod was fine. It's length does nor support long casts but excellent for accurate placement within twenty yards.

I used catfish punch bait and marshmallows. Had to get fishy or the hogs would root it up

Yup. Been there, done that. Those are the fish I am generally going after when I'm using this pole. Though, I haven't caught any giants either, but you'll be fine with typically sized fish.
