I have two of these rods. Short but strong....yesterday in the bay of Crystal River, Florida brought in a nice four pound Spanish Mackerel. The fish took two runs ripping line off reel, rod was fine. It's length does nor support long casts but excellent for accurate placement within twenty yards.

it's definitely ultra light.I used both lures but with medium I had less success.

The length of the shaft is not adjustable. The mid grip handle position can be changed for comfort. I liked the power and performance of this unit but it's about a foot shorter than the gas-powered unit I had been using. I'm 6'2" and the shorter shaft means you have to bend forward with the trimmer...which stresses the back if used for a long period of time.

it's about 3 -5 ft when you expand it. It weighs about 5 pds. It ok for the price would like more power.

on its lowest power it's about 2&1/2 feet, on the medium power it's about 1 &1/2 feet. I haven't used the high power yet.

Sorry for the late response. It's pretty light. Easily carried and picked up. Still runs great after nearly a year.

Your best bet would probably be to contact CFF and ask them to be sure, but I think it should work fine for you. I weighed about 275 when I first got mine and I had no issues with it. I'm now down to 210 and still use it faithfully. My son (6'5" 220) is a junior in college, and he has used it without issue as well.

I ordered the 2.5 pound not knowing that what I really needed at 5'6" would be around 4 pounds. The 2.5 pound weight seems feather light with no weight at all - wish I had ordered a heavier weight initially.

I got the medium one. I am 5'6-1/2" and weigh 155. It is GREAT for me.Not only good for back, but also helps with tired legs. Hope this helps you.

Do not know what the actual weight is but it is not a deal breaker. For the little powerhouse it is the weight is not a factor. Just remember when u have the extension bar on and trying to cut a limb 9 foot in the air, balancing is a bigger concern although I find it very manageable.

I am 6'4" and it works fine for me. It is a standard size but it is meant for video. It is designed to be very sturdy and well balanced. It is a fantastic buy performing as well as others at more than twice the price.

It depends on experience. I was new and went with a 9 foot 5 wt it works great. That was what the pro's told me to start with.

I am 5'4" medium built. I adjusted it a couple of times to get it were I liked it best. It has several adjustments you can use unlike other packs.

According to product specs, 5.5 lbs. All I know is, this unit has the best power to weight ratio available anywhere, and that is critical to me. I just don't like buying things that can cut me up accidentally unless they are LIGHT. Especially a trimmer like this that you have to hold above your head and out away from your body. That makes your arms get tired fast unless the unit is exceptionally light, which this one is.

It would seem that the main differences are size, style and power. The differences are minor. Do you want a model that can hold 6 cups or 5 cups? Do you want 500 watts of power or 600 watts. There's no real difference between them. They're all great models. My recommendation - unless you know you need that 6th cup of space - just get which one you think looks better.

Hi Charmaine. First of all, I love this machine. Greatest purchase I've ever made. And I keep mine always open, using the suggested rubber mat, on carpet. Okay, now as far as height goes, I measured the length of the fullest extension (which correlates to your leg length, heel to top of leg), and it measures 37 inches. So depending on leg length will answer your question about a 6'3" person. You do want a full extension. And I guess I'd have to say there is no minimum height requirement. Your drag is in the blades pushing the water, the greater a workout you want, the faster you will need to row. I hope this answers your question. Please feel free to ask me anything.
