This is a really good little reel. I have put them on ice-fishing rods and ultra light trout rods. I do not as yet know how long they will last, but so far they are performing great.

This reel works as well if not better than reels that cost three times as much. I paired it with a 5'6 light uglystik rod and it is great for working mini crankbaits and top water baits. The reel's drag is smoothe and lets you play big fish. Third time i used it i caught a 25 inch channel cat. Needless to say I'm gonna put one on every light rod I own.

A:
I don't see why not but i will warn you the drag isn't as smoothe feeling as other reels, but it still does the job perfectly and for the price its unbeatable. If i were you i might not choose glass though because I've found them a little less sensitive and fish seem to swallow the bait and cause problems when removing hooks. I would use graphite because its stronger and more sensetive.
A:
I thing this reel would work great with that rod. Both are ultra lite and easy to use.Details:
What Brand Too? I am going to set this little guy up on an ultra light ugly stick and will be targeting trout with it and probably ice fishing too but I don't want my line to snap If I get a Bigger fish on.Answers

A:
I used Berkely Fireline in 6# test and have landed a 25 inch channel cat using it. Just make sure you have ur drag set right. The line however is easy for a trout to see so i would reccomend a mono or flourocarbon leader.A:
Stren 4-6 pound test should be enough to haul in the bog one.Details:
I like this reel but would it be a bad idea to use it on a 6'6" light?Answers
A:
I have used these reels on rods up to six and a half foot with no problems. I really do not know how long they will hold up, as I usually put them on small custom rods that I donate to various fund-raisers in our community.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
For this long of a rod you might want a slightly bigger reel. That way it balances your rod evenly letting you have a better feel for bites. For this reel personaly i wouldn't put it on anything bigger than 6 foot.Answers

If your looking for ultra light bass fishing this thing is great. I use it all the time to fish little poppers wieghtless 6in worms and a bunch of other stuff. Even though its a really low price its strong enough to handle most bass you'll come across. Believe me this little thing will surprise you and you'll have a lot of fun with tis.A:
Yes, strong and drag works quite wellAnswers
A:
No, but it does have an extra spool.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
It doesn't come with line on it but any line is good and with a spare spool you can try different lines to see what you think works best. Personally i paired it with 6# fireline and it is awesome.A:
That's the best part. You put your own line on it. Whatever you are fishing for. I use 4 to 6 lb. test for trout fishing and it works great.A:
noDetails:
and is it good enough to catch bass with 2 pound lineAnswers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
This is a great reel but the drag is a little sticky and would probaly break that 2# line. You shouln't use anything lower than 4# in my opinion.A:
Yes, but check the drag to make sure it works before it leaves the store, mine failed immediately.A:
I've got 6 of these little reels and love them. I use them with 2 and 4 lb line and have caught trout up to 3 lbs, bluegill up to 11", and small bass up to around 15" with them with no problem.A:
Its a good reliable reel and if you fight the fish properly with a good drag setting and have a decent rod you should have no problem. But you must also keep in mind the bass size. If you handle the fight well you could probably land a 5 pound bass. Fishing is mostly technique. Just keep that in mind. you could always upgrade to 4# test to be safe. goodluck fishing :)Details:
Would braided line be recommended for this reel? (2 or 4 lb. equivalent?)Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Yes it is, its great on this reel but i would have about 25 yards of mono on the spool first to give the braid something to grab on. After using braid on this reel i don't think i'll use any other type of line so go for it.A:
Yes, I had braided line on mine, but make sure you check the drag before you leave the store, as mine failed immediately.A:
I would steer clear of braided line on such a light reel. honestly with such a light set up you wont need the higher strength that comes with braided line. if your looking for more power and less stretch try fluorocarbon,A:
Yes , braided line works great on this reel does not hang up it cast smooth and the more you use it seems like the better it gets . On my set up i use 50 lb test braided equal to 12 lb mono not going back to mono no more =)Details:
How good is this reel for trout fishing And what are suggested live bait for trout?Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
great reel for trout but use 6# test at the lightest. The drag is a little stcky which i like because it stops the fish before it runs for the tangles. As far as bait ask some of the fisherman around you to find whats working best. Personally nothing beats a nightcrawler on a number 6 baitholder hook withg split shots. Thread the worm from the head on the hook and the point should come out a little before the egg sack. Throw it in current and let the water give it the action.A:
I would say its a pretty good all around reel, though i dont go trout fishing all that often. With trouts hellgramites work the best, also try ggrubs.A:
Perfect reel, use lite line 2lb on one spool 4lb on the extra spool that comes with the reel with a small rod. As for live bait, you cant beat nightcrawlers. Dig'em up yourself cause there starting to get pricey. Go with crickets as it gets later in the summer along with crawlers. If you can find some salomanders by the stream thats a jackpot, browns go nuts for them but there sometimes hard to find.A:
I've used this reel a lot for small trout and have been very pleased with it. I use Powerbait dough, night crawlers, and small spinners with it.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
It's great for small stream trout fishing. Nice and compact. Worms, grubs, flies, grasshoppers all work good for live bait.Answers
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Yes, I like it because of how small and lightweight it is, it is a very well performing reel for ice fishing, but not for much else. -ChasA:
I have several of these reels and have used them for ice fishing. They have worked well for me in temps down to -5. We have caught bluegill up to 10", Lm bass up to 15" , trout up to 21", and burbot up to 25" without a problem. Just use a good lube that can handle the cold.A:
