exactly what type of glass is this rod made of ( fiberglass) and could it handle a 5 pound bass
Answers
A:
Yes
A:
Fiberglass, I'm pretty certainA:
I have no doubts it could easily handle a 5lb Bass! I Landed a Carp on it that easily went 25lbs on 6 pound test using an ice reel while chub fishing this last spring!A:
I don't know what kind of fiberglass the rod is made of but it should easily handle a 5 pound bass if I can handle a 15 pound carp with itA:
is a light rod, i don't recomended for a heavy fish butt with a good quallity size 10 reel and 6# test line if u really know how to use the drag u will get a 5# out of the water .is a solid fiber glass rod, is very flexible ( no esy to set the hook on a big fish )

A:
it's made of a type of fiberglass called E-glass. The longer rods can handle bigger bass and cats better than the short ones. I've caught a 5lb bass on the 7'6" model with 4lb test. All bets are off if there are thick weedbeds and/or timber in the area. The shorter rods can't put as much leverage on larger fish. And the longer rods still make medium sized bluegills feel like runaway trains. You won't be dissapointed in this rod as long as you realize it's a glass rod and not a graphite rod. It's not very sensitive, but it is the best rod for small hardbaits (cranks and topaters) with trebles.Details:
targeting 3-10 pound largemouthAnswers
A:
kjm1995,I've never had any luck with braided line on an ultra light reel.
This rod would be good for small bass, but you might heve trouble landing a big 5-10 pounder
A:
I would not suggest it. The soft tip would make it hard to set a hook in a fish that size.A:
Have used 20 pound Power Pro and have seen nothing negative as far as wear.A:
When finesse fishing Smallmouth bass I put 10lb braid with a 6lb mono leader on the 7’6 rod. I had no problems.

A:
I use Stren Sonicbraid 8# (claimed 1# test diameter).I have not had any problems.

A:
i wouldn't think so. these are basically panfishing rods. light line (2-6#) and small tackle.Answers
A:
The rod length all depends on where you fish. If you are like me, fishing narrow mountain streams with heavy foilage on either bank, the shorter the better. I use a 5'-5'6". But if you are in a wide open stream or lake, a 6'6" would benefit you. The longer the rod, the more precise your cast will be.A:
shobik,Yes, I trout fish once or twice a year and I think this would be a good rod for trout.
You might have trouble with really light weight flies, but weighted lures should be able to be cast easily.
A:
It would be a fun fight I use a ultra light with 6lbs test for trout here in Pa.A:
Yes I think it would depending on the trout you are targeting. I have the 5'6 version and absolutely love it for bush whackin for Brookies.A:
from my description i would never go to a streem with it but if they were in a small pondA:
Yep. The trout do not care how long your rod is. The right place, right time, right bait and a can pole will do.Details:
I am looking for a rod with at least 6 eyelets more if available. also i want it to be light to ultra light; and not cost a fortune. Up to $35.00 or so.Answers
A:
The 5ft version has 5. Not sure about the others.A:
mine is a 5' 6" and has 5 eyes .A:
For what your looking for, this is the rod you want!A:
The 7'6" rod is as ultralight as you can get. It does have at least 6 eyelets. The price is very awesome! If you're mainly buying it to fish panfish, and the occasional larger catch like an accidental LM bass, you can't go wrong with the UL model. If most of what you're looking to catch is bluegills, sunnies, crappies and perch, this is an excellent rod.A:
I have a 7'6 rod that has 7 eyelets and I am very happy with it!Details:
I am a beginner with the fishing but i want something that works best with this rod and for catching Trout to Bass, and maybe Catfish. I bought the 5' model. any help would be great. Thanks!!Answers
A:
http://www.basspro.com/Bass-Pro-Shops-Micro-Lite-Elite-Spinning-Reels/product/104138/-1543388?cmCat=CROSSSELL_PRODUCTIs actually made for this rod. At least that's what the guy at BPS told me.
A:
Corwin,I also have the 5' rod and love it.
I use it mostly for Crappie, but think it would work well for trout and small Bass.
It might be a little light weight for bigger Bass and large Catfish.
A:
the shimano sahara is one of the best smal reels for inshore/bass or freshwater fishing. it is very smooth with a quik anti reverse
