Yes it is. At least that is what I received when I ordered it in May 2014. It seems maybe some other people received something different.

No - it also broke on 1st cast - its total junk and customer service at daiwa will not help me - do not buy this rod

Yes, it is a fiberglass rod. A great inexpensive slow action medium flex rod. I LOVE mine! I use a 5wt line on mine and it performs great. I also have the 7 foot one with a 6wt line on it.

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.

Yes, I got this rod a month ago and for the price it is the best you can get. Sure if you get some higher end rod with a reel that glides it might be easier for the inexperienced, but for a $15 rod this is #1.

I use both the 9/0 (115) and a 12/0 on this rod. It is built very well. Solid rod for the price. The 9/0 is a bit dwarfed on this rod, you could definitely go with one size down, but for 130lb line, this rod is fine.

It comes with 4.5" down rod.you can shorten it by 2" for a total of 2.5" that would be the max I would go .hope this helps

The ABS-65a or ABF-90a will be a nice match for a 15' rod. Difference will be line capacity.

No depending on which specific rod length you are looking for. In the longer surf lengths 11', 12', 15' Mostly Heavy but check the lure- weight spec. Go to the Shakespear web sight and check the rod specs for BWS 1100 series to confirm this answer. These rods are good but the longer ones are a load to carry and cast compared to more costly brands.Good LuckGN

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.

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.

Not sure. I have a shimano Tld 50w mounted to it. Go with another rod. Rod mount is not secure had to use industrial glue to keep it from moving. Worked for about 8 mos, now moving again.

I have the ABF 40 on a 6.5' ugly stick. Works great. An ABF 90 should do well on a 9' rod.

This is a spinning rod. Please note that contrary to the item description this is also a 4 piece & Not a 3 piece rod

Picture was a spinning rod. Twice they sent me casting rods...super light action. Good luck.

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.

You should be able to get that info from Landmark. The rod comes in links and you may be able to request extra ones. Good luck!
