what is the action on these rods? I am looking for a medium heavy power, fast action rod.

The 210 cm one (about 7ft) has 30 to 50 g action (1 to 1 and 3/4oz) when you speak of lure weight. The 300 cm (10 ft) one has 80 to 120 g action (2 1/2 to 4 oz) using the same measure. I hope this helps.

The rod is not actually labeled with any of this info. After buying and using this rod and comparing it to others owned. I am confident in saying its a mh power, regular speed. Last 2 is a educated guess would say no more than 14 lb on line( handles 10 lb no problem) and it handles. 1/2oz lures fine(haven't used anything heavier) I use this rod out of my bug out bag on kayak outings. Decent rod.

By no means am I an expert on fly rods. This was my first one. I would say its problably a medium. It is faster/stiffer than the new one that I bought. once you get the feel for the rod, you can cast pretty far, yet also have pretty good accuracy with shorter casts as well. Its a good buy. The only negative is the lower quality of the line that comes with it, but I would buy it again.

Love my mcx2 its not twichy at all but I built it from parts and it is brushless and a real hot rod. Higher head speed = way more stable.

Picture was a spinning rod. Twice they sent me casting rods...super light action. Good luck.

I'm not familiar with your rod. Try it and see what happens. Bear in mind it is an inexpensive reel.

I have the spinning rod, use it with a 4000 sustain for light salt water. Great rod for the size.

I have a 20 size Trio on one of my ultralight rods. I find it a bit heavy for such a light rod, but manageable. I have a 20 size Avenger on the other and it's better balanced. I still prefer the trio due to it's super smooth drag.

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

I bought 2 of these 3 years ago, Amazon had a special. I use them primarily for chunking, they are still in very good shape. They are a bit stiff but very durable. After you break them in a little "memory"; they start to give a little. The reel is ,"ok at best, 1 ball bearing with mono." After awhile I switched the reel out with a Okuma b65 and threw some power pro braid on it; now it casts much further. All in all the rod is better than average the reel is just average but durable. I also tried this rod for plugging, because of the rods stiffness you get a faster action but you also get a bit of work out too. This combo is heavy. I Landed a 40lb skate with it last year at ISB state park NJ last year with no problem :) I hope this helps, tight lines.

the rod is marked "x-tra fast action.. I would say it is a med rod-- If i had to re purchase, i would go with the Battle 2000 combos as i fish in backwater of SW FL for reds, trout, ex.

I rigged mine (#40) with Spiderwire 20lb braid then changed it to 120 yards of 20lb high visibility Power Pro. This has become my favorite rod set on an Okuma Citrix rod I've caught dozens of snappers, Blue fish, Bahamian Chubs and Sea Trout. I also have a 55 Okuma Cedros on Cedros Jigging rod, Avenger on Sarasota Rod and a #40 Abu Garcia on Abu Garcia Vigilante. The TrioS has become my all around favorite because of the casting smoothness, strength and suppleness in fighting the fish in.

I have used it in brackish water and fresh water. It may be too light for heavier salt water use. I consider it as light tackle. Good action and lightweight. Good for casting extended periods. materials in rod would hold up to salt water environment.

The 65 or 50 should work for you ,90 might be a little bit too heavy for your rod

No, it is too light of a rod. Offshore trolling requires a rod with more backbone. Need a heavy action, possibly down rigger style.

I'm sorry I'm not going to be much help. I've only used these rods with standard reels.
