This is a stupid question but can this reel be used with a 7 weight fly rod?

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

My husband says yes it should work. He uses it on his 6 wt. it's a good reel for the price b

I am using it with a seven weight It is a little heavy but works OK especially if your on a budget

Yes, it's rated for &, * or 9 weight line. I haven't used it yet, but it looks very ood for the money.

Yes it will*... *It will fit 2 Rods but only one of them can have the reel attached. You would need to take the other reel off and have it loose and then it will fit.

This rod can be used for fly or spinning so either or both reels will work. I would probably opt for spinning if the person is just getting started.

I dunno. I have a 7ft. I gotta 1 oz. Lead n big Ole treble hook on it. I use it to snag fish below the dam. The rod is super light n has pulled big catfish, paddle fish and alligator gar outta the river.

It is heavier than an ultra light reel. Just need to see if it balances well with the rod your using.

I would not by this set . The reel is of very poor quality. It does not take medium duty line and it tangles. You would be spending time trying to undo the tangles instead of fishing.

This rod is ultra light. It can use under 6lbs line, 1/4 oz lure. As I remember...

No... Matter of fact no baitcaster does. Most people that are going to spool with 30 lb line are usually talking about braid not mono. If you do spool with 30 pound mono you will get less yardage then you would you get with 12 pound. It all boils down what you plan to use this reel for A 7.1:1 Gear ratio reel is usually used for topwater I personally use it for poppers and walk the dog baits and I spool up with 15 pound mono but If your talking about frogs you may want to use 30-50 pound braid with a mono backing!

I won't recommend it at all, the rod is ok but the reel? The line got tangled all over and it became useless.

I really don't know, because I have only used the heavy duty rods with 130 pounds line for large tunas and wahoos and these rods would most likely be too stiff for that purpose. Btw, the top part of 3 of the 4 rods I bought came unglued and the rollers no longer align with the line coming out of the reel...

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.

Its a great reel but may not be enough for what you want to catch with that rod.

Yes it will, use this rod with a reel that has a drag resistance similar to the one of the rod.

Yes this is a 6ft 6in fly rod. It is labeled as a 3/4wt rod. I was able to cast it with a 3,4,and 5wt line. I found the 4wt to be just right for my style of casting. 3wt was light. 5 was a tad heavy. It's a great rod for the money. Tons of fun to fish with!

I don't see why not. It's a nice reel for the money. I've got mine on a Sage 8 wt rod.

Yes the reel can be used, but it requires an additional mounting kit for crossbows, to get the reel in the proper orientation. Crossbows are usually too powerful and difficult to load, to bowfish with reasonably. 35-45 pounds is all that is needed. More than that causes the arrow to go all the way through, which is a real pain to deal with. Highly recommend this reel on a recurve bow instead.

I have 3 of these reels I am real happy with them. I use them for bass and catfish the line I use is 20lb breaded line super good for25lb catfish. I had no problem. I say give it a try and see what happen for the price you can not beat it. GO FOR IT
