Rated 5 out of 5Â by hawksbball great for the price
I got this combo around a year ago to see how i would like switching over to a baitcast reel. So i went to my local store and saw this was on sale so i decided to get. It was a great buy. Its held up to everything ive needed it to do, but make sure to bring extra line because this reel birdnests really easy!

This combo is overall decent. Casts nicely, almost no troubles. My main problem with this combo is how heavy it is, but I guess thats what you get from a $50 combo.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by SuperFish777 Very good product
I believe that this is a great bait caster combo. The rod and reel are very good in design and in quality. Being my first baitcasting reel I honestly do not find anything wrong with it.

I recently bought this combo with a 7' med-heavy rod. Once you get it tuned in, it's fool proof. I'm running 30 lb Power Pro braided line and throwing 1 1/2 ounce swimbaits with ease. You cant go wrong with this combo. I hope this helps. Goodluck and FISH ON!!!

Great combo but the reel was spent after about 3 months of use. The rod is bullet proof. I fish the same type of water as you and use 12 lb. fluorocarbonAnswers

It is a right-handed retrieve.

You can purchase the left handed model or the right handed. They do not make a model where you can switch up the retrieve. Hope that helps.Answers

Not sure exactly how much but i use 10lb mono and it will hold more than enough. I have not had any issues with the amount.

yes 10 lb mono will fit fine i use 12 lb on mine

no, this reel is a free spool reelA:Â
Not a specifically designed flipping reel, if thats what your asking, but you could flip with it.

In my opinion, no. It is a bait casting combo. I have never done flipping with this combo without getting a bird's nest mess. I use it to cast into the weeds from a distance from my boat. I love this combo where I re-learned how to baitcast once again, I had been using strickly spining gear. Now I use both, however, when I change from spinning to bait casting I must remember to put my thumb on the line when I cast.Answers

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!Answers
A:Â
I would go with a medium rod for lake trout with 10lb monofilament or fluorocarbon depending on the body of water and what I'm using.For river/stream trout I would use an ultra-lite setup with 4lb mono.
A:Â
In my humble opinion I would not use a bait caster while trout fishing. Usually the lures are too light. If I were you I'd get a good spinning reel. Can't go wrong with a good spinner while trout fishing.Details:Â
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:Â
Right hand RetrieveA:Â
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 handDetails:Â
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:Â
Mine is a medium action. Don't know about power.
Top 100 Contributor
A:Â
This thing is a beef stick and has plenty of power. I would have to say its more medium than medium heavy.
A:Â
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

LeftA:Â

left hand retrieve
A:Â
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.
