Would this reel fit on a little Penfishing rod?

I see not one person responded specifically about a "pen fishing rod" .. I am looking for the same answer.. Did you buy this and did it fit? Or have you found another that fit? I too would like to make the little pen rod more functional with a better real. Any answer would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, you can use it on a 5 or 5 1/2 ft. light action rod. I have mine a 5 ft. Shakespeare Ugly Stick. Make sure that the reel seat has adequate space to accomodate the reel.One of my light action rods did not have enought clearance, so the reel kept slipping off.

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

The rods are designed for dipsy divers which create alot of force. But they could be used for casting but the reel is primarily used for trolling. I would look for a bait caster reel if you are doing regular fishing. I catch 20lb plus salmon on theseway poles with ease. Anything smaller i would go with a lighter/shorter rod.

Not properly. Since a spinning reel mounts under the rod, if used in that configuration the line would not pass over the very top most roller but would instead be abraded by the roller guide wire.

It should fit just fine unless you have a reel with some wacky crazy large foot. Mine easily fits my penn 6500 although really a 3000 or 4000 series reel is plenty big enough for this rod.

Yes it should hold a 5000 series reel, but it would be overkill (bulky) all you need is a 4000 at most.

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.

They can, but your rod/reel will be upside down. (Meaning, the reel will have to be on top, so you'd have to crank with the wrong hand.) I've found Scotty's "Baitcaster" rod holder to be better for spinning gear. It has an indentation for your reel at the bottom.

Yes but with backer it needs to fit in the reel. Probably five color will work with backer

Yes, it rod has a standard mount which should accept most salt-water trolling reels. I don't know if your reel has a rod clamp, but I definitely would recommend using a clamp to fasten the reel more securely and prevent any wiggling.

Yes, you can definitely fit that much braid on this reel, but also depends on the type of fishing you are doing. You should leave room for a mono top shot.

Depending on the size of the reel, yes. I use 6-8 test line and a Skeet Reese finesse tube rod for trout.

For this reel you need a "spinning" style rod, Fenwick makes a good one but there are many brands that are good and will work.

No this is more of a trolling / bottom fishing Rod. Great rod, just the application you are asking about is not for this rod. They do have other rods that would work however...

Hi Jake, this very small reel I guess you need a bigger one to be able to catch bigger fish

I dont really understand the question, the "also". it does not specify a type of reel that it accommodates. I imagine it could hold any rod that has a reel.

This reel seems to be just a little small for this rod. Okuma makes a reel one size bigger and that would be a better fit.
