Details:
I'm new-ish to fishing and wonder if this would work for trout fishing the MH rod using 12/14lb fused line. If theres a better rig to use please say. Thanks!Details:
I'm right handed and I like to use my right hand to control my rod. I use my left for reeling. Is this reel left handed or right handed?Answers
A:
mine was right handed i bought it from the store and it wasnt where it was supposed to be but i think it is only right handed PS this one u hold the reel with your right hand
A:
i`m right handed and use my right to control the rod and my left hand for reeling ..and i would say that the reel is for a right handed personDetails:
The description says the action is either M or MH, but I'm pretty sure they mean power, not action. Can someone confirm what the power AND action is for these rods? Thanks!Answers
A:
Mine is a medium action. Don't know about power.

A:
This thing is a beef stick and has plenty of power. I would have to say its more medium than medium heavy.
A:
We have this correct. The action of a rod, sometimes referred to as "power" determines how much effort it take to get the rod to flex.Answers

left hand retrieveA:
leftA:
If you want to reel using your left hand (meaning holding the rod with your right hand and using your left on the handle), then you need a left-hand retrieve.A:
Left Hand RetrieveDetails:
if i buy a right hand retrieve is it easy to convert to leftAnswers
A:
Can't be done.A:
no u have a left hand mold and a right handmold and u cannot change this
Top 100 Contributor
A:
No, baitcasting setups do not allow to switch the sides of the handles like spinning reels. If you get a right handed one, you stick with the handle on the right. I don't think BPS sells a left handed model of this reel. Most reel in its price range don't get left handed reels on them. You have to go into the 100 and up range to get a manufacturer to make a left handed model. I do know that Quantum and Shimano make left handed baitcaster, but they aren't cheap.

no, it's not convertibleDetails:
Can this rod and reel cast light lures like 1/4 and 3/8?Answers
A:
For a baitcaster, the bait/lure has to be 3/8 - 1 oz..... 3/8 below is for spinning.A:
it will cast lighter tackle, but only in a pitch.... if you try flipping, you're asking for a half an hour of backlash repair!A:
Yes
Top 500 Contributor
A:
No they won't. Heavier lures only, but I wouldn't wait your money anyways, it's junk. Step up to the Abu Garcia VRC69-6 and the Bass Pro pro-qualified bait caster. You will never look back and wish you had done differently. I purchased 5 of the bait caster combos from my local BPS, and ended up taking them all back and upgrading.

A:
yeah, works great with those weightsA:
I use the weights, and it performs flawlessly.Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
No the rod itself is stout and robustly constructed. The reel however is junk in my humble opinion....
Top 50 Contributor
A:
eventually, yes - but it might take something like 15 years of use if it happened... it's not a problem to use braid on these.Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
yes, the rod is a great stiff rod for feeling the bottom of the water bed. I love the rod itself, I just think the reel is junk....
Top 50 Contributor
A:
if you can afford a Pro Qualifier reel, I'd go with a better rod. This is good, but there are better ones available. I'd go for the Pro Qualifier rod too, if it was me.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
i would personally say no. the rod was horrible. i ended up using the reel on a different rodAnswers

A:
I prefer 12 lb test for most all bass fishing. Proper drag adjustment will determine whether or not that is viable for your usage though
Top 50 Contributor
A:
I use 12lb Vicious 100% fluorocarbon on mine - works GREAT.A:
I've had success with 20 lb. mono. , but this may not suffice depending on what your going for.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
i use 12lbs. silver thread and have never had problemsA:
I have 20 lb braid on mine and it seems to work well.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
The heavier line the better. A min. of 10lb test
Top 100 Contributor
A:
I would go with Stren Original Clear Blue in 14 lb. test. The 14 lb will give you enough power to fight bass easily and some other game fish. The Clear Blue color will allow you to see your line more clearly. You could also try 12lb in Stren. 10lb. though can get a little tricky because of its small diameter. Either way Stren is the way to go. It's abrasion resistance is excellent and it casts really far. Berkley Trilene Casting is a good line, but the line itself has poor abrasion resistance. I use it on my spinning reel and haven't had any breakoffs yet. Hopefully I won't. Monofilament is always a good line because of stretch and with it you can handle a fish much easier.
