will braided line work with this rod

William - Braided line will absolutely work with this pole. I have two of them and I use braid. Do you have a question about using braid or just about using it on this pole? I use braid for the backing and then add a "TOP SHOT" of about 100 yards of mono on top of that. This way you get the best of both worlds... Plenty of line with the braid and a little bit of stretch with the mono. Caught a 40 Pd Kingfish yesterday.

No problem. I used 60lb Powerline braided line and have great sensitivity over 500 feet deep water.

Yes. I have this rod paired with a Daiwa 450h... I am spooled with 50 lb mono for backing and close to 300 yd of 80 lb braid. Reeled in a 5 ft black tip in Myrtle Beach SC like it was a gold fish.

I have used 30# braided line on my rod fishing in over 100 ft. for snapper an have not had any problems, the eyes seem to be holding up well after about 10 offshore trips.

I would use the newer braided type just so you know everything is new under your counters when you install. Just make sure your fittings are tight so you don't have any issues with leaks.

With 300 yards of 65 lb braid you should be perfectly fine. The catfish arnt the strongest fish on the block. I personally prefer to have more line but a bit thinner. So I would go with 20 or 30 lb braid and get double the amount of line on the reel. I land 40 kg blacktip reef sharks with 455m of 20 lb braid on my reel. But I like ligt tackle fishing. Hope this helps. I am sponsored by okuma so if you need any professional advice just ask.

It depends upon the model of the rod. I recommend that you go to Shakespeare's website and look up the specifications. http://www.uglystik.com/Ugly-Stik-Bigwater-Rod/1285720,default,pd.html#specifications

Yes it will. This is a good product the only thing is that the rod is too short for where I have to reach.

I highly recommend you check the manual for your water heater before buying any rod. They have the same thread but are various lengths.

I have been using braided line and it works well. However, I have been just back into fishing for a little over a year so it might help to talk to someone else. I like the reel, though, and would recommend it whole-heartedly!

No. I returned the one I brought because it will not fit. The rod is too thick to fit.

Sorry, but I don't understand your question. This rod will work for most species of big game fish you're likely to encounter in salt water within the designated line class, if that helps.

nope I use this with the Sweepfire and braided line. I just started fishing myself and the second time I took this out I caught a 20 inch bluefish and a lil sea robin. good for the money I would say. and mind you I barely know what I am doing and got this thing to perform for me.

I have about 30 yards of braid on it, but it will depend on size of the line you use.

I'm using 100 lb braid. Can't really answer the real question though. I put a 50 wide okuma on mine if that helps at all.

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.
