Pay attention to the Model. CIT-S-724M is a spinning version (S-spinning). CIT-C-724M is a casting one (C-casting).

This particular rod is for spinning. However, there's an equivalent model for bait casting.

I believe the handle spins... good quality rod. It does not flex like cheaper ones.

No, it doesn't. The rod is decent, but the reel is only so-so. The anti-reverse stops working on my reel every once in a while. I took it a part and tinkered with it, and it seems to be better. When I wrote Daiwa about it they told me I had to ship it back to them, which I wasn't going to do.

I have the spin cast and the closed face rods, they are so much fun, every fish feels big. I even caught an 8 to 10 lb. catfish on the spin rod, yes it bent double and still is fine. I put micro size reels on them fun "extra" fun.(splurged and bought expensive ultra fine line) It is cheap, but holds together. I suggest the spin open face as the most fun.

This is a convertible pole, so it can be used as either a fly fishing pole or a spinning pole. It depends on how it is going to be used. For a person just doing normal plunking, a spinning reel is the best. I recommend the Shomano brand. If the person you are giving it to is a fly fisher it is a little more difficult, because you will need to buy special line depending on whether they are a dry fly or wet fly fisher Floating if they are dry fly fishing, sinking or sinking tip if they are wet fly fishing.For the spinning reel you just need to buy some good monofilament line.

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

No the picture shows a bait casting rod, these are spinning rods. I sent the one I ordered back since it was not what was pictured and not what I needed.

The Nomad rod is a pretty heavy duty stick. With the lighter medium tip, it would work with the Baitfeeder 50a, but I would find it out of balance. (Over-rodded, under-reeled. A 7000-8000 size spinning reel is a good balance. I sometimes use a Penn Spinfisher 7500 on mine. For Conventional reels, a 30-50 size is about right. If you are set on using the Baitfeeder 50a, Okuma also offers a Nomad Xpress, which is the same rod blank, but lighter and smaller grips and hardware, and comes in a 20-40 line weight model, which would be about perfect. (only one tip, but a lot more reasonable $)

Yes, this model is a spinning rod. I bought this model and then bought the "ML" model which is a little lighter action. Both are very good rods. I couldn't tell by the feel of the rods that they were 4 piece rods. I usually use one piece but these are great for packing in a suitcase for traveling.

I think the 'C' stands for casting as in bait casting reel to be used and has smaller line guides (rings) from the handle to the tip. The 'S' stands for spin as in spinning reel and has larger line guides (rings) to allow less friction on casting because of the way the line plays out off the reel.

A spincast reel uses the same type of rod that a baitcasting reel uses. A 6ft. Shakespeare Ugly Stik casting rod is a common rod. I purchased mine from Wal-Mart. If you can't find one there then try Shakespeare's website (they sell Shakespeare products online).

No. This is not a "baitcaster". It is meant for bottom fishing off of a boat or pier, or trolling off a boat.

If you are right handed and are buying a BAITCAST reel, you should get a reel that the crank is on the right side. Bait cast reels usually only come with the crank handle on the right side while opened faced reels are inner changeable. Most all open faced reels are capable of having the customer change the crank handle from either side by just a simple screw removal and side reversal. Baitcast reels are mounted on top of the rod, while open faced reels hang below the rod. Hope this helps.

A spinning rod in the 12-30 lb category goes very well with this reel. Shakespeare make a Ugly stick that matches the reel really nice. The model is BWS110170. It is a 12-30 lb rated, 1 piece 7' spinning rod. Not to expensive, in the $50.00-60.00 range.

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.

I wouldn't recommend it. The rollers are fairly narrow, so you may want to tend towards something with eyes. Don't get me wrong, it is a great rod and has served me well thus far, but it is more geared toward trolling or deep-dropping.
