These are really good quality poles. Very sturdy. The 240 cm poles are about 8 feet long and solidly built. Should be ideal for carp.

10,000 pound test...but only a few feet of it. Apparently you are unfamiliar with hand lines. You can put any pound test line you choose. The larger pound test line the less number of feet the reel will hold. Ask yourself what size fish do I want to fight using a hand line. Then put a line that is 20% heavier. Besides, the hand line you are asking about comes with line, leader, swivels, hook and sinkers. What are you going to do, strip all that off and start over?

The rod is MH w/fast action... I use it a lot and its a good combo... I actually have the Sargus on a 7ft BPS Carbon Black rod that is a far better setup... This Battle Reel is lose/makes noise... The bail doesn't always close completely... It shouldn't be that way.... I've considered the option of returning to exchange, but I use it still ea. week! I don't think the battle combo I received is a true match. The reel spool is so wide for this rod, that the line PwrPro 20lb braid... Slaps the first eye to much and has created some interesting knots where the line wraps the rod on occasion and is so tight I have to cut and retie. If I were to buy the battle in a combo next time, ill do it live and in my hands... It was just a great deal and can't complain.... I've caught 20lb red, 8 lb bass... And big trout... It's still a solid reel/rod combo... But I'd get individual items and match to a good rod. My .02 cents

6'This rod is amazing!! I fish bass tournaments and I wanted a compact rod for fishing lakes on golf courses and this rod is tough!! 35 lb braid and you can set the hook hard. I had bought a few other similar rods and they all broke on the hook set. Buy 2 cause you will be extremely happy with this one!! May be a little stiff if you are fishing for trout. Hope this was helpful :-)Jesse

GH- I use a Wright and McGill "Magnum Plug" 10' 6", Medium Fast Action + Heavy Power for trolling and mooching Chinook, sliver and humpy salmon. I've even jigged for ling cod but it's not as efficient as a shorter, stouter glass rod. I'm able to back bounce for steelhead as well. However, it can be alot of pole length on a busy drift boat so I borrowed my sons Okuma Blu Diamond BD-C-762MLa 7' 6" and it proved challenging with a fish on in big volume water. I'm happy with the trade-off of having one rod for multiple uses as opposed to multiple rods. Both of my boys just started salmon fishing so I like the economy of these rods, hopefully they will be durable as well.

There are many rod of this length. Both fresh and saltwater. My serf rods of choice are between 9 and 11 ft.I love Ugly sticks because you can use light to heavy test line and the fight is the same. If you go tall thenget something as light as you can.

I use both the 9/0 (115) and a 12/0 on this rod. It is built very well. Solid rod for the price. The 9/0 is a bit dwarfed on this rod, you could definitely go with one size down, but for 130lb line, this rod is fine.

Should be no problem. These are heavy duty spinning rods. I can also cast sardines with no weight on 40lb test! Not real far, but far enough to be effective. I've caught mostly Pargo and Dorado with mine.

The drag is if I remember right 15# max and that should turn a cat if you play it right.I have mine spooled with berkley tracer braid in 20# test and i'm not worried about chasing cats at all in fact i'm planning a trip where that is all i'm going to fish for.As far as rod i'm going to go with a 8' or 9' rod when I order my new black max.

I'd personally recommend something more substantial and modular. I'd invest in a 15mm rod system. Instead of buying cheap and buying twice.

They have something screwed up on the posting. Size should be like 1000RG, 2500RG, 4000RG. The numbers they show would be spool size. A 4000 reel is a pretty hefty reel.

None - you shouldn't use that heavy of line in this lightweight reel.However, you could do what I do and use a braided line, which is much stronger than monofilament lines for the same diameter. I've got 6lb test Suffix braided line and it has a rated breaking strength of 20lbs, but the diameter of a typical 6lb test line (about the maximum diameter that should be used with this reel). The braided line costs 2-3x what a monofilament line would cost, but I figure it saved me much more than that in lost tackle, as I lost only two lures in a week's solid fishing and they both caught on the backside of heavy logs and frayed on the edge of the log.

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

On the rod itself it says 4/5 weight. I used 4 wt line and 5 wt line. I noticed when I used the 5wt I missed a lot of fish. So I am going back to the 4wt. Lol

You may as well order an R-134 gauge set through Harbor Freight. Comes in a nice box and has the correct pressures on the gauge. 49 dollars and I've used my set a few times already with great results. My R-12 gauge set was almost 30 years old. Well made, but 20 more dollars gets you the real deal.

I am using 12 mono line. It really all depends on your rod. Just go with the recomended on the reel and rod they should be printed somewhere on there.
