Is this for ocean fishing

Pam, I would not recommend this pole for the ocean, it is only for small fish...stick to small lakes and ponds with this pole!

Yes but if your also going to use it for freshwater you will have to wash down the lure

No it is a standard reel for bass trout etc. Outstanding reel with the smoothest action I have ever used.

Yes, it is intended to be a salt water combo--but I would purchase rod and reel separately. See my review. -Edog1955

I used my ABF-65 for both deep sea and surf fishing. I have used it for 2 years now and it has performed perfectly. The bait feeder option allows you to lower your line with a heavy weight without getting a backlash. The ABF-90 should have plenty of line capacity to catch all but the biggest of fish.

The answer is a big YES! I use it by Jones Beach Inlet by the Atlantic Ocean. Don't skimp on quality line, Penn Reels are the best. Keith Scudder

This is a good heavy duty reel. We fish the Mississippi River with them and reel in some 60lb catfish. The first time out with this new real we pulled in a 100lb catfish. This is a heavy pull when your pulling them up stream in the Mississippi River. We cast using heavy weights and bait. They cast great and seems like at least 100yd cast. Hope this helps. I've never done any ocean fishing but I believe you will like this real.

I've never used it saltwater fishing but I would think it would work fine because you are using it on the hook and not the fish.

actually, this can be used as both a fishing rod holder AND a microscope. very popular with marine biologists.

Its great for fishing large ponds but wouldnt reccomend it for ocean use because even with add on stabilizers it wouldnt handle ocean waves.

bass type casting maybe but ocean size no. but for carrying rods i really like it. traveling in baja with 4 guys and a few to five each it works great!

It would be great for trout fishing. Your line and pole would be the biggest difference for using this reel. I use it for light saltwater fishing and would def use it for some trout back at home.

Sorry, have not used it on the ocean. Does work well on relatively large lakes. It does catch a lot of wind. Works on the Columbia river pretty well until the wind came up.

it's been excellent as a fish finder. I use it on my kayak. on board or hidden inside the hull. I purchased mine upon watching this video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ft8DNCgJuGM

It will work but its better with a rod type adapter so you don't lose it when travelling. good luck fishing

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...

I haven't used it in any of these applications, but I think it could be used for all these except for Bass. The rod may be too big for catching Bass.

yes we use it in the ocean. strangely cuttlefish do come but we seem to have the wrong bait.
