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

Ugly stick is a great rod. I have two. A 9 ft rod shall be perfect with your Okuma reel. Gary

It should be cuz you can set the baitrunner to how your pole is. I think you can use it on any pole if you set it right

I have the ABF 40 on a 6.5' ugly stick. Works great. An ABF 90 should do well on a 9' rod.

I don't know the crappy thing broke on my first cast - I've always been loyal to ugly stik rods but was looking for a cheap rod I could keep as a loner for friends - I would not buy a daiwa rod they are junk

The rod is nice the action is medium or medium light I used it on a trip to San Diego and caught some small fish in the bay But mostly I use it for bass. Also I use a Johnny Morris low profile bait caster on it

Yes it will. I just tried it for you. It will just need a few twists. Easy to do you will see when you get the rod.

You can but the guides are kinda cheap so i would watch that area. After years of complaining about the cheap guides Shakespeare finally listened and introduced the Gx2 rods. However the ugly cat as far as i know (might wanna check) didnt get the new guides and other improvements. Rinse the rod out with freshwater as soon as you done. This rod doesnt have a lot of backbone so unless you fishing for smaller game i would go with something else.

Absolutely. I have mine on an ugly stik 7' with 20lb braided and it is literally righteous. Do it. It will be bad.

Yes it's a trolling rod. I use it on inland lakes so it will handle anything short of a sturgon.

A spincast reel uses the same type of rod that a baitcasting reel uses. A 6ft. Shakespeare Ugly Stik casting rod is a common rod. I purchased mine from Wal-Mart. If you can't find one there then try Shakespeare's website (they sell Shakespeare products online).

Nope, depending on what you're going after as to the pound test. The rod is light so you can't use a heavy line and target heavy (15lb. +) fish. I put 16 lb. test mono. and getting good results. Much heavier than that you're going to get a real reduction in casting distance and more rig shift with the current.

A spinning rod in the 12-30 lb category goes very well with this reel. Shakespeare make a Ugly stick that matches the reel really nice. The model is BWS110170. It is a 12-30 lb rated, 1 piece 7' spinning rod. Not to expensive, in the $50.00-60.00 range.

I agree with Rodney, it should be fine on that rod. I also have it on a heavier rod.

This ils a good reel for a 9 et fly rod. I have bern using ait on Atlantic salmon, small mouth bass and lake tout Wirth good success. Hope this help.

MB, The rod is probably the heaviest 12' rod you will run into. Shakespear's specs on their site does not include the weight or measurement you are asking for. I will get my rod out of storage, measure and weigh it and answer later this weekend. As I said in a previous review, I would probably go for an 11' foot over the 12, in a do-over purchase. For the money you can't get a more durable rod though. I was pooped fishing with it for about 6 hours using 5 oz weights and bait in pretty heavy surf. I am 5'8", 170 lbs and in fair shape. I also own a G. Loomis 11' 1-5 oz, DeepBlue Fishing 11' 1-4 oz spinning and casting, and 10' 1-4 oz spining. These rods are effortless to fish all day but run from 200.00 to 500+ USD. The Ugly Stik was to have a bang around rod on hand to thrown in the truck and go. Look for another reply on Sunday morning. Update: I weighed this rod at 1 lb 11 oz, 24 " butt to top of reel seat. The other rods I mentioned weigh in at 1 1b +- an oz., 28-30"from butt to top of reel seats. You get what you pay for for sure. These rods are built with light graphite blanks as apposed to the composite Shakespear sticks. Good luck with your purchase.

I myself prefer the Okuma ABF 90 spinning reel for salt water. They are well built to last and not too expensive, they go for about $60 on Amazon. I also prefer the Power Pro Microfilament Line for that reel.

I have two 9/0 Senators loaded with 450 yards of 60 lb. mono, so should be no problem with the braid. Rods are very nice and well made.
