this rod is not overly heavy,but its not as light as a high dollar surf rod.

I have the 10 foot poles. They weigh about 2 lb ea. They detach into two pieces for easy transport and storage.

Not exactly sure. I'd put it at around 5lbs. It's manageable. Good rod, and I fish more than the average bear.

It is a little heavy. Don't know your usage but I would only ue i to target large fish in yhe surf, Striped Bass/ bull Drum. I use the 9 ft for schoolie fish in the surf

You have to consider the physical weight and spring weight of the rod. These rods aren't that heavy and doesn't feel to add any weight towards the front end. I would go with 17 lb spring. Not too much stress to mess up any parts, not too little for failure2feed. Hope this helped.

It depends on how heavy the curtains will be and the length of the rod you need to buy. I bought a 96" one and put a light valence and it works fine for me. If you need to hang heavy curtains you might want to get one with a hook to support the middle to help support the weight. I hope this helps you to make your decision.

Mine seems pretty light actually. I caught a 10lb redfish with a 3 oz pyramid on and it was about folded in half with little muscle put into pulling it in. I didn't want to put much more into it because it felt like the rod was going to snap.My Penn 8 footer which is med/heavy is much more rigid than this, which I like, because there's nothing worse than losing a fish in the surf because the poles not stiff enough to pull them in out of the backwash.

Assuming that you have a medium weight rod, you'd want to have line weight of 8-17lbs. Medium Heavy = 10-20lbs.

John R. Carney, InventorDo not worry about the weight of your drapes. This rod will hold up.

I have a 20 size Trio on one of my ultralight rods. I find it a bit heavy for such a light rod, but manageable. I have a 20 size Avenger on the other and it's better balanced. I still prefer the trio due to it's super smooth drag.

The reel is for 7-9 wt line. I don't know specifically how much it weighs, but final weight will depend a lot on the line and backing you use. I do know that with an 150 ft of dacron backing and a sink-tip line, it is light enough to move the balance point of the rod forward somewhat compared to my son's metal reel.

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.

The Cannon Easi-Troll manual downrigger I purchased and used last fall came pre-spooled with 150 feet of stainless steel cable. The line weight is 150 pound test and worked well with the 10 pound weight I got to go with it. The downrigger is a stout unit and care should be taken to mount it securely using recommendations in the instructions provided. The maximum depth you can attain with 150 feet of cable will depend upon the weight of the ball used and trolling speed but graphs are provided to calculate the "blowback" and determine your running depth. With a 12 pound weight trolling at 2, 4, and 6 mph the depth should be about 146, 119, and 87 respectively. There is ample room on the spool if you want to replace the cable with one 250 feet long.

I think that rod is heavy duty. It wont bend too much if you're catching small fish . Iy wont snaps as easy on you. I got ywo of theses and prety satified

I purchased the 15 foot model and it proved to be too heavy for anything other than surf casting and then mounting it in a rod holder. I brought several rods on my week long oceanside camping trip and the two large Okunas were the least used towards the end of the trip.

I really don't know, because I have only used the heavy duty rods with 130 pounds line for large tunas and wahoos and these rods would most likely be too stiff for that purpose. Btw, the top part of 3 of the 4 rods I bought came unglued and the rollers no longer align with the line coming out of the reel...

I've flyfished for over 40 years and couldn't make heads or tails out of these designations until I got a look at a chart that listed the maximum length of the backing line (yds.) and its breaking point (lbs. - relating directly to its diameter). Obviously, the copy writer didn't have a clue about what's actually relevant here. Here are the identifications: The 50/12 denotes the SLV reel sized to hold a #2 or #3 weight fly line and weighs 4.5 ozs. The 95/12 reel is sized to hold a #4 or #5 weight fly line and weighs 4.8 ozs. The 140/20 reel is sized for a #5 or #6 weight fly line and weighs 5.3 ozs. The 145/20 reel is sized for a #7 or #8 weight fly line and weighs 5.5 ozs. The 150/30 reel is sized for a #8 or #9 weight fly line and weighs 6.1 ozs. The 170/50 reel is sized for #9 and #10 weight fly line These are great reels at an average 10% discount with no shipping charges through Amazon. If you can match your fly rod(s) to one of these and achieve a good point of balance* when the backing and fly line are loaded on the reel, one of these should do just fine. * Place an extended index finger under the rod handle at a 90 degree angle just ahead of the reel. Slowly move it forward until the combination of rod and reel come to rest on your finger with no assistance from your other hand - perfect balance. This point should ideally be located on the handle or a few inches up the rod just ahead of the position where you would comfortably grip the rod while casting. Good luck and good fishing!

I would not trust a rod for a reel this heavy that was more than 2 pieces. Ebay had a couple of rods for around $80 last time I looked. Stay with graphite instead of fiberglass.

I had a little problem pulling one end to extend, but I did it after a few tries! Lightweight rod.. I'd buy it again

Please ignore those that claim it is a 4/5 weight. It is indeed a 3/4 weight. I contacted the manufacturer directly and also spoke to another reputable dealer. There was a problem with mismarked rods for a time but they have always been the same rod... a 3/4 weight. Eagle Claw recommends lining it with a 4 weight line to get the desired action. I just received mine today and it is properly marked as a 3/4 weight.
