I think it would be - it has a variety of items perfect for pan fish or fresh water fishing.

This would be a great starter pack for them. But the plastic isn't that great so make sure you get them a tackle box to put it all in.

I use Power Pro bass fishing for fresh water as well as saltwater bass, with a short fluorocarbon leader (3-7'). Hook sets should be instantaneous, as there is no stretch in the braided line. Tie the right knot to join the lines so no slippage (check out You Tube videos about joining lines).

It"s perfect for salt water that was its main objective with the metals its designed with.I reeled in a couple of big reds over 20# each,no problem.Just as good in fresh water.Hope that helps.

Thats what I bought it for and it works great. As with anything used in salt water, be sure to rinse it good with clean water at the end of the day. I have thrown lures as heavy as 7ozs. and the rod performs well.

I use it for fishing in the ocean and have been very happy with its performance. I have always used Penn reels and have always had good results with them.

Never been salt water fishing but I would imagine you would need a pole with a little more strength than this one. Very nice pole for fresh water fishing. My son took this one from me so I will need to buy me another one soon.

I thought it was a good fishing boat but there are a lot of regulations you would have to check with each individual lake and their rules. most require hard bottom boats, which this is not. I used it for going down small creeks where there wasnt much monitoring.

This device is very durable but personally would not go sea fishing.Lake or river absolutely... A hook could mess it up but it has air chambers inside. You have to be responsible and it will be great.

Yes, but it is very basic. You would need much more for your average fishing trip. Some would consider the 'tackle' useless.

That depends on what you're fishing for. I'd say it's okay for fish that go up to 30-40lbs. It's definitely not a big game reel. I use #60 gel spun line as backing with a WF8F line because of the small diameter. I can fit about 150 yards of it on the reel. In contrast, the Martin website lists capacity as 35 yards of #20 backing with the line I'm using. Note that I have four times as much. Any backing with a larger diameter might not allow you to load enough and put you in danger of getting spooled with energetic saltwater species. So I think gel spun is the only backing option if fishing saltwater with this reel.

Yes, it should work fine for that. I use mine for trout fishing. Have had it for about 6 mo. Seems to be very durable. The only complaint I have is sometimes one of the joints will stick a be a little hard to push in.

I have this rod and have caught everything from large panfish (bream, crappie) to small bass. I have also caught both fresh and saltwater trout. It all depends on what size leader and tippet you use and how much you are willing to finesse a big fish.

Yes it works well in 40-60 feet deep water and it also works in shallow water but it's harder to tell whats your hook and the fish. One thing I noticed is you can see other lines in the water 3 feet from your finder in 6 feet of water. The deeper you go the more lines you see so basically in 60 feet of water you can see everyone 20 feet around you fishing on the bottom. I watched two guys jigging minnows 20 feet from me in 60 feet of water. As long as you keep your distance you'll be alright. One last thing to note is the display is delayed 1-2 seconds.

In my opinion, this fly outfit might be to light for salt water use. In the mid-west its ideal for pan fish up to a couple pounds. Fishing off the beach, your liable to catch most anything.

I think it's a great all around reel. Not heavy enough for extra heavy fish but great for what you're talking about.
