I think it's a great all around reel. Not heavy enough for extra heavy fish but great for what you're talking about.

Hi Jake, this very small reel I guess you need a bigger one to be able to catch bigger fish

I own three myself. I fish saltwater game in Florida and they have worked great.

Excellent reel for both salt and fresh water fishing. It takes a lot less effort to reel in your fish.

Normally Okuma would be a good product but for some reason the inner bearing in the spool on this reel can not handle the tension. After 3 salmon it started making noise.

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.

Yes it is a good mobile fishing rod for lakes, creeks, or any place you see might have a bass or catfish in it. I would not use it in salt water for larger fish though. I have had no problems with it in the lakes I have fished and caught several bass, crappie, and catfish on it.

Sorry, I haven't used it to trout fish, only bass fishing and it works great.

The rods are designed for dipsy divers which create alot of force. But they could be used for casting but the reel is primarily used for trolling. I would look for a bait caster reel if you are doing regular fishing. I catch 20lb plus salmon on theseway poles with ease. Anything smaller i would go with a lighter/shorter rod.

I asked my husband your question since it's actually his fish finder. He's only used it twice so far at two different sized lakes and he pointed out two things, he hasn't fished for bass (mainly trout) and he hasn't actually tried to pick up a jig 30 feet below the boat. At first he didn't think it would pick it up but he doesn't have anything to back up that theory so he couldn't say either way...sorry...

Sorry to say, but this is a strong reel meant for Marine Fishing. Put some strong line on it and go after the big fish ! Keith S.

This reel is what is commonly referred to as a Left handed reel!!! The reel is "handed" by which ever side the handle is on when in position on the rod It is becoming more and more popular with people who are Right handed, as are well over 95% of the country. for the ability to keep the rod in your master hand the entire time you are fishing, and not have to cast, then change hands to reel, , then change hands to cast again!!! people have becum used to cranking with their left hand because of the popularity of open-faced spinning reels, which basically all come with the handle on the left side, thou the great majority, if not all, have the ability to easily change the handle from one side to the other!!! Best of luck, and Make sure you leave a few for me!!! Regards, Jim

Its a full rod and and reel combo. Just add lure and water you're good to go. It's one solid one piece. Have fun in the water!

you can catch anything with this rod. Might be a little heavy for just trout.

No this is more of a trolling / bottom fishing Rod. Great rod, just the application you are asking about is not for this rod. They do have other rods that would work however...

It is good for the fish size up to 2feet at most. It will be quit thrilling if you really catch a big one having hard time toretrieve.If you expect bigger than that, you need one with larger spool and stronger drag like Abu 5000 or 6000 series.

You need to decide what breaking strain of line you are using, what kind of fishing, and what your budget is. Let me know and I will try and help you. :)

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 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.
