Is the line that comes with this rod and reel a floating or sinking line? Thanks.

floating. It can sink if you add a wet fly, or a weight. Fly fishing is mostly about dry flies, topwater action.

It's only the one big fish, and yes it floats. It's intended for use in water. When you turn it in, it will swim around the water. The 2 magnetic lures do not float from what I remember.

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 put it away, but I think there's a little clip Daiwa puts on its reels to hold the line. If the line is jumping off the reel, perhaps you wound it backwards. There are instructive youtubes, in case this may be a possibility. It's easier to understand if you see it than if you listen or read it. Also, I put spiderwire on mine, which tends to be limp, narrow, and tough.

I have the ultra light reel and use 8 lb fire line. Casts very smooth and long.

No line but most rods that come with line have cheap line. I would suggest buying better line if you go with a pre spooled rod. However this rod is awesome so IMHO get this rod and buy some decent line to put on. Most of the big chain store (Bass Pro) will spool your rod for a few dollars.

Nope there's no level-wind mechanism on Jigmaster's. I hold the rod forward of the reel while retrieving. Then I use my thumb and index finger to push or pull the line back and forth as You retrieve line. Doing this will keep your line level. You can also Google (how to use a conventional fishing reel) for more information, because there are better explanations than mine.

yes, but if u use reel for fresh water suggest stren or trilene line. these lines are better suited for fresh water usage

It is a fairly short and stiff rod. It will not cast a line much distance. If you basically drop lines straight down and just need the stiffness of the rod for bringing fish up, you should be okay with this rod.

No, it is not prespooled, just like any other reel on the market. Don't let that stop you: it is no great hassle. And the Ambassadeur is a great reel.

7ft med hvy 1 piece rod I use 15lb fluro and it cast and reels beautifully. and btw it doesn't come with line so you'll need some

It's designed to tie to your line and cast it out, buttttttt it has not worked past about 10 feet out for me and when I'm fishing with a bobber like this I cast out quite a ways, I have been using it with my small aluminum boat and it works fine.

No, it does not. I don't think when the come with line they are doing you any favors, I have never purchased a reel that came with decent line that was appropriate for what I was using it for. I looked long and hard, local and online, and couldn't find a better deal on a quality bait caster with a low end price.

No line. and that is a good thing. You know line is a personal thing-fisherman's choice.

Hey Jerry,I've bought one of these before and the wire is black and it comes in an easy-to-pull box, not a reel like in the main item picture.

The rod is marked as a 3/4 weight rod, but it casts well with 5 wt line, which is what I have on mine. Great rod.

Use the slv 7/8 reel. The wieght of the reel needs to be in balance with the wieght of the rod to make casting and handling the rod and reel more truer and m or effieicnet. That goes for the wieght of the line too. If you're concerned aboput amount of line or strength, add a little more backing for lentght and go to a heavier leaders to the fly.
