would need additional information. if intent to fish for salmon the Martin would be an excellent choice. should you use for saltwater fishing you MUST be diligent in thoroughly maintaining the reel, cleaning after every use including oiling the unit.

It will work just fine! Keep in mind what you are fishing for and always balance your rod/reel with each other...
1683203
Always do a balance test with your rod & reel but this should be equally dispersed from end to end. Will work fine but always keep in mind what you are fishing for???
1683204
Sure, that'll work just fine... Always depends on what you are fishing for and if it balances out the rod/reel combo?

By no means am I an expert on fly rods. This was my first one. I would say its problably a medium. It is faster/stiffer than the new one that I bought. once you get the feel for the rod, you can cast pretty far, yet also have pretty good accuracy with shorter casts as well. Its a good buy. The only negative is the lower quality of the line that comes with it, but I would buy it again.

Mine is a 30A which is suitable for most anything you would be doing with up to a 1/8th inch rod. I've had no problem with my machine after burning pounds of rods-- 6011, 7024, 7018, and 6013.

The line that comes with the reel is backing with level fly line. I recommend gettin WF6f fly line and new backing to reeplace the stock line. keep the stock line as a backup.

I believe there is a Scotty Baitcaster Rod Holder that can be used with the SE-9, although I'm not sure which model, since we don't carry the product line.

The perfect match for this reel is the one that I use. I just got back from Cabo San Lucas ... we hooked into a 500 plus black marlin.... fought it for 8.5 hours .. using this penn with 40 lb test P line ... and 60 lb floro leader ( double wrap ) ... the rod is one tuff rod called the " Whopper Stopper " its a small short rod good fro trolling or dropping to bottom... its not cheap but not super expensive and worth every penny of it its easy to carry and will handle a 500 lb marlin as I found out . The rod cost me $175. If you want to find a less expensive rod go at least with a Sabre. The perfect match for this reel is the one that I use.

Had this in the 30s on a 6'8 simano crucial. Moved it to a 602 heavy tfo lefty rod. Better balance. One of the best reels I have ever fished even if it was twice the price. Not sure how much your citrix weighs but since travel rods usually run heavy 40s should be a pretty good fit

This is a baitcasting reel, the other is a spin cast or spinning. I don't what answers your looking for. But if I was fishing for pike and trout, I would go with a spinning reel.

Yes this is a 6ft 6in fly rod. It is labeled as a 3/4wt rod. I was able to cast it with a 3,4,and 5wt line. I found the 4wt to be just right for my style of casting. 3wt was light. 5 was a tad heavy. It's a great rod for the money. Tons of fun to fish with!

I don't see a problem but okiaya also has 30-80 rod, the same size but stiffer. The choice would really be determined by the targeted fish. If you are going for huge makos, marlin or big tuna I would use the 30-80 but for fish under 120 # I like the 30-50.

On the rod itself it says 4/5 weight. I used 4 wt line and 5 wt line. I noticed when I used the 5wt I missed a lot of fish. So I am going back to the 4wt. Lol

If you are referring to the S.A. fly rod, it's 9' long and rated for 7-8 wt fly line.

For this reel you need a "spinning" style rod, Fenwick makes a good one but there are many brands that are good and will work.

Yes, but be aware it's just the reels. You will need to order the appropriate size pole.

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.

The drag is if I remember right 15# max and that should turn a cat if you play it right.I have mine spooled with berkley tracer braid in 20# test and i'm not worried about chasing cats at all in fact i'm planning a trip where that is all i'm going to fish for.As far as rod i'm going to go with a 8' or 9' rod when I order my new black max.

Good choice on the reel for the species your are fishing. You can spool it with the 12lb test Spider Wire which has the diameter of 8lb test. You will not be sacrificing yardage at all which the smaller diameter line. 30s is a great reel, my favorite size for fishing the Florida Flats is the 3000 series reels. Enjoy!!!
