The one I received would not fit any SKS; the casting is far too wide & too long. Could possibly fit with extensive grinding to make fit.

I have a bait caster on this rod. I don't use it so much for casting but for slow drifting and trolling. I have not used it enough, but it seems to work ok.

Not at all. It broke before I could make a cast. It was not misused or handled badly- I picked it up by the midsection, and it snapped. I bought an Eagle Claw Pack-It collapsible rod and paired it with a Shimano Sienna 500FD reel ($17 and $29, respectively), and that combination has landed me many trout and stood up to everything I threw at it.

No, mine had a made in china sticker on it. Too bad since all their cast products are American made if I remember correctly.

Not sure what the old drag was like.... I have two of these reels and they work great . No problems at all

I could not find any information on my SA #7-8 fly rod, but it casts like my Grey's #7 and #8 fly rods. Medium mid section with a fast tip for easier cast-ability.

This great reel comes in three sizes. From the smallest 1000 to 2500 to the largest a 4000. The Quick Fire II trigger system is great for one-handed casts. It has a Lightweight graphite frame, sideplate and rotor and other great features. I really like the smooth smooth action and rear drag. I am not an expert, but I would check out the small 1000 at a dealer so you can make your own decision. I have the 2500 and 4000 reels and love them.

No, it is a replica with moving/snapping trigger. It's got some weight to it. I'm not a collector. It was purchased for a pirate costume, and for that purpose, it is beautiful.

the one I got is a spinning rod, the difference between a spinning and bait casting rod are within the eyes the eyes closest to the reel seat are larger than those on a bait caster because of the way the line come off the reel during casting it helps each reel avoid backlash and tangles.

Yes. 1 Caster took a dump after operating since 2001. Replacement part was perfect fit. Very happy with replacement.CBR

Yes. The calcuttas (and most bait casters) have stock right handed cranks. I believe the only left handed shimano bait caster is the 401d. The "1" indicates a left handed crank. Hope that helps.

There are probably many more rods with more flexibility that you could purchase, depending on how serious you are about fishing. For me, this was enough for 1 week of coastal fishing a year, but not much "whip" at all. Still, the biggest problem I had was with the seat for the reel...immediately upon receipt I tried to mount my reel and the seat started moving. And before ever casting with it, the whole seat was rotating 360°. Very disappointed!

It's confusing. I received the casting rod and thought it was the spinning rod. The casting rod is excellent.

Yes it is.You can feather it with the trigger and adjust top speed with a screwdriver on top.There is a adjustable screw on top of the handle.

Hi Long. you can use as casting reel, but you need to adjust spool tensioner. they are used in Australia for this purpose as well for trolling.
