does the saltwater rod come with a fighting butt (cork below the reel seat)?

It has a cork handle but the handle is located "above" the reel. There isn't cork below where the reel attaches to the rod. Hope this helps.

Yes, it comes with everthing you need to get started. It comes with a couple spacers for different styles of bows. I got mine like a month a half ago and I shot dozens of fish already. Its a great set up.

No it doesn't. But you should buy this, it's amazing! Best tackle box i ever purchased. Even showed friends and they were pretty jealous. Very compact and durable.

Yes. This is just a rod. Any rod will need a seperate reel purchased unless you buy a combo.

It does. Comes with a padded nylon case that holds the rod and tips and keeps them separated with a divider. The case has an adjustable strap so you can throw it over your shoulder. I was able to bring this on a flight as a "personal item" along with my usual carry-on bag on a flight to Florida.

Yes, the reel is included. No line however. I purchased four of these for my son an family for Easter. They love them.

Pretty decent rod overall, and it has enough power to cast a 300 grain shooting head line in the Southern Califorina surf which is where I use it exclusively. Great full Welles cork grip and fighting butt too.

no, the the bracket ontop of the image have a pyamid like groove in it. I took out a screw in my gun and replaced it with a screw that would fit this groove and added one more so it wouldnt rotate when reeling. works perfect so far. just have to make your own modification to make it work but its a really good deal. thats the only reason I bother to respond to other buyers about it. I'm not the seller.

not this one. there is the other version with a level wind. Otherwise, it is a good reel. Fast, smooth retrieve and a quality drag system.

No, only 7-7 1/2 ' two-piece rod. Plano makes another product which will hold both (bought one at Dick's for $52) as long as the reel has a "fold-in" handle.

Mine just arrived and it came with the slat floor and inflatable keel just like the Mariner 4, with that comes the "rub strake". So yes, it has the inflatable keel and rub strake making it identical to the bottom on the 4. Videos on YouTube and inflatable boats don't show the new keel and floor, so make sure that you specify that with your supplier if that is what you want.

No, it does not. It is a true tackle box, but works great for hair accessories, as well.

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!

No it does not. I had to buy the oars separately, which were as much as the boat. Ours has worked great for the kids. Unlike the other person, we deflate it when we put it away. Virtually all items like this will lose some air over time.

Yes, it does have a rod at the top but the lower padding is over stuffed, which made it hard for my dogs to get in and they are small dogs. One is 11 lbs and the other 17 lbs.

No, it does not. It's actually a made for a vessel sink, so what you see in the picture is what you get.

Its not rated as a saltwater reel but if you fish any saltwater, you need to rinse equipment with fresh water before you put it up. I've used mine in Maine saltwater on strippers.
