Is this for inshore/saltwater ? ok for casting pole as medium power medium fast action ?

I prefer larger "round" baitcasters for that task, although this one has a little bit larger spool than many low profile reels, so it is good with 14lb mono or 20lb braid. Although it's not really made for salt, it should be OK if you are meticulous about cleaning it afterwards.

Def. for inshore fishing. I woikd say of with a medium fast rod instead of the medium powerful for this reel.

Not for saltwater use, you can use it but you got to clean it thoroughly. The inshore Abu's the less expensive ones are called the Orra's. The Orra so are not that much but made for saltwater ,hope this helps.

It"s perfect for salt water that was its main objective with the metals its designed with.I reeled in a couple of big reds over 20# each,no problem.Just as good in fresh water.Hope that helps.

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.

I don't think it was necessarily built with casting in mind, more for use of drifting or trolling baits. However, you could cast heavy baits, just keep in mind there is not a great amount of flex in the rod and not much whip. I can see it could be used for short flips of heavy baits, not necessarily casting.

I have a 12 ft aluminum jon and with fishing gear a loaded down cooler and two people. I did a gps on the speed on a calm day and glass water it maxed out for me at 8 mph. Still faster than the electric trolling motor i was using.

It is a great generic trolling motor, like the big brands. Will the paint and finish last more than a short while in Salt water... Probably no.. But not many will - unless they say they will - and then they still might not. not. Mine is left outside on my boat (fresh water) in the rain and sun and not much problem. I do not want to bring it in and out. Too much work. Otherwise, great so far....

Heavy action. I have a 7ft and a 10 footer. Using 6oz sinker on both 40 + yard cast no problem.

I bought it for fishing off my dock in the intercostal waters of Daytona, FL. If you're looking for distance, you might want to look another direction -- but for pinpoint accuracy and consistency this rod has worked out great for me. I cast artificial lures and have had zero problems reeling in 3-5 Seatrout and Redfish.

I fish Salt water, I wouldn't suggest usage for large fish,( over 5 lbs, Remember this is an inexpensive ROD.

I use mine for both and have had very good use out of them, however if you use it in salt water, rinse it with fresh water oil and grease it frequently, otherwise the bearings wear out. to lube it, remove the handle , then dip the stem in grease and it will increase the life of the reel. The # of bearings really helps o the drag, and it will handle 20lb fish with positive results

I would say it is a medium action but I am not an expert. I do not it does just fine catching fish. Have fun!

Not OK yo use as a light surf rod, this is more of a Medium freshwater rod. I would not throw more than 1/2 oz lure.

I personally wouldn't use it for surf fishing. I've casted with it for short distances but not sure how it would hold up having to cast long distances with heavy weight. The drag is not entirely adjustable so unless you are using heavy weight to keep it anchored, strong water movement has the drag clicking very often.Not to deter you from considering this reel by no means, its a great beginner reel and even though I've upgraded from it, I still use it when putting out several rods.

I have the 7 ft and haven't used it for anything close to that big. My guess would be if your reel is up to the task I think the pole would work for thst

I use mine in saltwater all the time, in the Gulf of Mexico. I try to heavily rise with freshwater after each use and shoot a little wd-40 in it. It's not as smooth as the day i bought it, but for an inexpensive combo it works fine.

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 think it would work fine. I'm assuming you are saying you want to pull the boat a short distance to a dock or another boat. It's stronger than the aluminum extension poles sold by fishing supply and outdoor stores.
