I think there are 3. Sizes if the Reel. The smallest model should be the right one for fishing crappies. .

Hi. I would get one of these for his birthday. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001VAT44Q?ref_=pe_527950_33920250. I bought the 20 which I use when we go to the states and I can get fishing. However, maybe one of the bigger ones would be better for him, the 30 or 40. Apparently they are prone to corrosion, so make sure it is well washed after use, especially if he uses it in salt water. Good luck, Lindsay (from the UK)

The reel comes spooled with stiff 20 lb test line. As such, the casting distance isn't too great but isn't a factor if you fish close to shore or in a boat. The Zebco Cajun Red Cast 20 lb line is a better choice if you want to improve casting distance. Of course you can drop down to lighter line if you catch smaller catfish. I'm very pleased with this Zebco Catfish combo outfit.

The trio30 is a nice medium size reel, and it is very smooth. It holds 160yds of 8lb mono. I use it for most of my fresh water fishing, trout , bass, etc. The trio20 is more for an ultra lite setup. The trio40 is bigger, I use that one with 65lb braid, mainly because I can get more, heavier line on it.

I rather find a reel for this rod. The rod is $ 200 and reel 30 bucks. Thanks guys, I apprec your help, but it was just a test. I knew the answer. I'm done with ugly sticks. They were good 30 years ago. Can't wait for warmer weather. Lol.

I did go with Cedros 40 and it fits perfectly. The smaller reel has so much drag power that you can easily handle big fish with braid.

I have 6'10" Fenwick EliteTech River Runner with the 6925 because all to many times fishing for Trout or Panfish a Large Mouth Bass or a Northern Pike Attack my lure. I have boated 28 inch Northern and 4 pound Bass with the 6925. Trust me the reel drag sings as the fish runs. The 6925 does the job. I have broken rod tips from the frisky Northern's and Fenwick replaced my rod no questions asked. With my experience I would not go smaller than the 6925.

Yes, and today 4-13-14 I caught about a 4 lb. catfish, so much fun with such a small pole, I also put micro reels with 12 lb. test the very fine line. I bought 2 of them, the spinning rod is my favorite. Throw it in a backpack and go for it.

The rod and reel could handle a nice sized bass if you play the fish out. The rod doesn't have a lot of back bone. But i have hooked onto a few 1-2lb bass and it did fine. I would suggest using 20-30lb braid because you get good strength and small diameter.

I would get the SLV 56. It's still small enough for trout, but you could also use it for a shooting line system if you really get into fly fishing.

I own two trio 40's. They are relatively small for size 40 reels. A size 30 or even a 20 though would be better for 8lb line.

I would not recommend this product. The first boat I bought, the remote did not work. The replacement boat, the remote worked but the engine did not. I would recommend the Aviva Sports ranger fishing boat. We bought this and loved it. Just be very careful around boat antenna. I accidentally broke it. I bought another one through treasure chest for 34.99. Pro Bass sells this boat too, for about the same price. They seemed to be out of them. I hope this helps.

First I would have recommended a higher drag weight on the reel. It sounds like you want heavy fish, so I would go with the 300 yds. You also may want to consider going to 50 lb. line, between your rod and the drag you can handle some pretty large fish with this set up. Remember to balance you drag with the weight recommendation of the rod builder.

You could fish with this kayak. Casting might roll some, but small lake, river fishing should be ok. try to get the better seats. we have the cheaper blowups and they really aren't as good- too low and not enough back support. there is enough room between seats for tackle box, worms, and you could tie a stringer off the bow or stern. Large fish might pull you around, though ;-).

Well then you WAY overpaid. The Okuma quality to price ratio is phenomenal. Figuring out which reel is which is a pain in the posterior, but a few minutes on the Okumafishing.com website straightens it out. The 170/50 is actually the SLV-10/11 not a the SLV-9/10. You learn this through process of elimination. The Okuma site lists the SLV-10/11 as taking 520 yards of #30 backing.

It depends on how big a reel you're looking to buy. The bigger the reel, the heavier it is. Personally I prefer a smaller reel and would opt for a smaller reel that could hold less line. A 6930 would be on the smaller side for 12# line and a 6940 is the largest offered and would also hold the most line. If you're doing a lot of live bait fishing and not doing a lot of casting then maybe the large size would work best for you.
