will this reel work well on a 6'6" medium/heavy rod?

Absolutely. I have mine on an ugly stik 7' with 20lb braided and it is literally righteous. Do it. It will be bad.
2006412
I have it on a extras fast rod, as I like to feel the fish when is around my bait.
2006413
Its a great reel but may not be enough for what you want to catch with that rod.
2006414
Yes, Peter it will work fine. I really like my FRC4000..........I use it for surf fishing. Really smooth action.
2006415
Yes, i have mine on a 7 foot medium action ugly stick and it works flawlessly.

Actually its probably the perfect reel for a 6'6'' med/heav rod - I have it on a 6'6'' med rod and I wish the rod was a little bit more stiff - Great reel

It can handle the weight, but barely fits my salt water rods. Gotta stagger the reels but its not a big deal.

Assuming that you have a medium weight rod, you'd want to have line weight of 8-17lbs. Medium Heavy = 10-20lbs.

If you have the right tackle this 12ft rod will handle anything you will catch from the surf .I. Own the beefsteak 12 ft heavy but I like my Beefsteak 9 ft medium heavy much better will also handle anything you will catch in the surfThis rod is built just like the 12 ft heavy just shorter I can cast the 9 ft rod with more accuracy. Hope this helped happy fishing

This ils a good reel for a 9 et fly rod. I have bern using ait on Atlantic salmon, small mouth bass and lake tout Wirth good success. Hope this help.

I think you would need a heavier rod than this one. A 5/6 weight is more suitable for trout weighing maybe 1/2 pound to 5 pounds.

This will work fine. If you set your drag too high itll snap the rod easier than a better quality rod, but thats to be expected.

May be a bit large for an ultralight rig. I did not have good luck with this reel. never got it to cast right. Continually back lashed. I cahnged the weight of line and made all the adjudtments I could. Took it apart and cleaned it, although it was new. Nothing worked. I would recommend a Diawa Laguna. I have four of them and they are great and would work perfect on an ultra light rig.

You can reel with either hand. The handle screws onto either side that you prefer. I have a 12' rod too, but the 4000 is a bit small for it. But yes it would work, though a 6000 or 7000 or 8000 hold more line.

yes it will fit but it wont be a snug fit you'll have to dump it out to get out the half without the reel on it. i have a 2 piece 8ft rod in mine and does its job. if i had another two piece rod i wouldnt hesitate to get another. i also use it to carry my 4-pc 9ft rod in 2 pcs until i can afford to get another case

Yes, you can. I routinely use 80 lb line on mine with a 6/0 reel. This is a stout little rod, but a 14/0 reel is a lot of iron to mount on it. I don't know what you're trying to catch, but I would consider a heavier Okiaya rod for just a few dollars more if you need such a large reel.

Medium size spinning reel, something you can use 4-8 lb line on... this is the best rod I've ever owned

what is the length of the rod if is more then 7'6" you are on the money. i use mine on steelhead. my rod is 10'6" works just fine
1098774
Yes, I have used it twice on a 6'6" telescoping pole with 8 lb. line. Caught 3 fish. So far so good. Unscrew top of spool to get new line on. Good luck

Its an awesome reel to use, I have 6kg on the reel and use it when trolling for Albacore tuna .

7ft med hvy 1 piece rod I use 15lb fluro and it cast and reels beautifully. and btw it doesn't come with line so you'll need some

I ordered the 6'6" one (BWSJL220066) and the guides on it are for spinning reels. Also see this link: http://www.shakespeare-fishing.com/Ugly-Stik%C2%AE-Tiger%E2%84%A2-Jigging-Rod/1292170,default,pd.html#prefn1=ZZRLN&prefv1;=6%2525273%252522&start;=1
