Is this rod a spinning or casting rod? Also could the medium heavy tip bring in medium sized tarpon?

Hi, this models come in two types; NTi C for casting and NTi S for spinning. The biggest caught with this rod is 4kg seabass. Good rod I like it, got 2 now. Happy fishing! Mohd

The c means casting and if by medium size you mean 50-75lbs and you're on a boat and know what you are doing then yes. Very nice travel rod. I have both the spinning and casting variety

I have not used this rod very much since I bought it - it's been winter down here in New Zealand. However, I use it in combination with an Abu Garcia Revo Toro NaCl overhead reel, with braid, and am casting lures like the Shimano Waxwing 7/8 oz good distances. I haven't tried anything much heavier at this point.

The model number you listed is correct, and Eagle Claw does indeed list this item as a 3/4 wt rod. However, after fishing the rod and trying out different weight lines, I was convinced this is in no way a 3 wt. I emailed the manufacturer, and asked them about it. They informed me that it would fish and cast better a little over lined, coming just short of an admission of a misprint on the rod. I can forward you the email response I got from them if you would like. I would call this a 4/5 wt rod and Wright McGill pretty much agreed. But this is all a little moot since I see Amazon is no longer offering this particular rod. Anyway, hope this helped.

Yes. Its a good rod. It is a little heavy for continuous casting, but it has held up well.

The 6'6" is a spinning rod. The 6'3" is a casting rod. I have both of them.

I have a bait caster on this rod. I don't use it so much for casting but for slow drifting and trolling. I have not used it enough, but it seems to work ok.

The rod is not actually labeled with any of this info. After buying and using this rod and comparing it to others owned. I am confident in saying its a mh power, regular speed. Last 2 is a educated guess would say no more than 14 lb on line( handles 10 lb no problem) and it handles. 1/2oz lures fine(haven't used anything heavier) I use this rod out of my bug out bag on kayak outings. Decent rod.

I thought the tip action was good. it was not flimsy that would cause line wraps and the bend was pretty uniform. A lot more flex than their next size up. I do prefer a little more flex for standup than this rod but I have only found it with the custom made. I brought a 90lb sail with the rod with a 30TW reel last week and thought it worked great. Biggest sail I ever caught.

It states in the description that it is a spinning rod. "Shakespeare Two-Piece Medium Action Ugly Stik Lite Spinning Rod"

It's confusing. I received the casting rod and thought it was the spinning rod. The casting rod is excellent.

I have the spinning rod, use it with a 4000 sustain for light salt water. Great rod for the size.

If you are targeting heavier fish its a great rod. I fish mine with a senator 4/0 and it does great. It does not have much play in the tip, so for fish on the lower end it is a little stiff.

It is heavier than an ultra light reel. Just need to see if it balances well with the rod your using.

No it will not. You are pairing up a spinning reel with a bait casting rod, you need a spinning rod. Shakespeare spinning rods part #'s start with BWS, not BWCC. What type of fishing are you using it for and I will help you out.

Yes That is a casting rod, for casting reels. All the guides on a spinning rod are larger. The spinning rod description include the word spinning.
