Please answer ASAP. My friend who lives in Florida asked me to buy her a new fishing rod & reel combo. I'm planning on getting her a 7' Shakespeare® Ugly Stik® Big Water Spinning Rod. Will this reel pair up nicely with it? I received this reel today, and it seems a bit big, however I'm very new to fishing. Please help! I can return it, but it needs to be fast seeing as this is a Christmas gift. Thanks for the help!

I guess it is. I've got 6000 my self and I've casted 5oz with it. I think its note only about reel but fishing rod and fishing line too.

Yes, I use 4-5 oz sinkers with it all the time.A:
Yes,but will your rod handle it?Answers

A:
Sure, I put 10 lb. mono on mine and it casts a mile.Answers

A:
This Emcast Sport reel will pair up fine with an ugly stick big water rod but 7-feet is way too short if you plan on fishing from the shore or pier. Buy at least a 10-12 foot ugly stick for longer casting distance. A 7-root rod is a boat length as you won't be able to cast very far with such a short rod.A:
depends on the capability of your rod. the rod tells you the line capacity limit for ex: 20-40 lb test so make sure your reel is some where between that limitA:
it would fit perfect. I used it on a 7ft sabre.Answers

A:
The 5500 and 6000 reels are identical in every way except for the inside diameter of the spools with the 6000 having a smaller pit diameter to allow more line to be stored on it. The outside diameters of the spools are also identical both in width and length so it is possible to simply replace the spool of the 5500 with the 6000 and vice versa.The same is true of the smaller 4500 and 5000 size as their spools are also interchangeable with each other. I bought one of each size and keep 20 lb. test mono on the 2 x 5000 spools and 10 lb. test on the 2 x 4500 spools to quickly change line for different fishing scenarios. (Each reel comes with a spare spool).
A:
the 5500 can be used with 20-30 lb test and the 6000 is to be used with 20-40 lb test plus the 6000 is a bigger reel 27 oz and it spools more line per handle turn
Top 500 Contributor
A:
the 6000 is a larger reel.it holds 320 yards of 25 lb. test lime while the 5500 only holds 230.Details:
Is this a good match of rod and reel. I primarily bass and walleye fish but looking for a larger set up for bigger fish.Answers
Top 250 Contributor
A:
No, get the 12' Daiwa Sealine surf rod instead - you'll triple your casting distance with that combo.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
you could defenitely use this combo, im assuming your talking about the mh rod. considering the line ratings i would spool the reel with 17 lb test if your planning on using the setup for just larger fish, but i might go down to 12 or 15 for largemouth and defenitely 12 for walleye. personally, i would rather have a longer rod if your planning on using the setup in the surf though, like an 8 ft minimum,Details:
Does it wrap Braid good on its spool?Answers
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I believe that using braid on any long-casting spinning reel / rod is a mistake as spinning reel retrieval causes twists in the line and when the limp braid is cast out wind knots easily form. Stick with mono on these type of spinning reels and use braid on bait-casting reels. If you just use light tackle and don't cast very far you might get away with braid on a spinning reel but not on a medium heavy action such as this that might be sending the line out 100 yards or more.A:
Absolutly I use 30lb power pro when I go out for flatheadsA:
no it is not braid compatableDetails:
ZGoing to fish for school blues off Long Island and hoping to land some of the bigger guys 10-20 pound range. After will use this set up for pike and muskey. Will be casting from shore and boat at times. What rod would u match a a 3500 with ?Answers

i am looking for a relatively inexpensive reel that can take a beating. i like to surf fish and fish off of piers and stuff. i also go bass fishing and catfish fishing. Any other suggestions?Answers
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I use this reel for shore and pier fishing on the river targeting large catfish and carp and it works great.A:
This is the reel you want. handles great with salt/fresh large fish. I suggest at least a 7" rod to take full advantage of this reel.A:
Go with the EM cast its a tougher better built and more dependable reelAnswers
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Unless you're fishing for a whale shark don't use 50 lb. line with this reel - save that for deep sea fishing from a boat with a heavy bait-casting reel. Use 10-15 lb. mono with this reel for best results and that will haul in most fish up to 30-50 lbs if you use a 10-12 foot long rod. Long rods absorb shock better and mono stretches so don't use overkill with heavy test line as that will kill your casting distance. Also don't use braid with this spinning reel as you will get wind knots - stick with mono.
A:
If you use braid it will work fine.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
you could but it probably isnt your best bet, even with the 6000 size you would only be able to hold about 152 yards of line.1 of 1
