Rated 5 out of 5Â by USNvet Excellent combo
I purchased the 5.5 light rod setup earlier this year. It has finally warmed up and the fish are starting to bite.
I put 6lb. Berkley XL smooth line on the combo and it performs very well. Surprisingly long cast for such a short rig.

Love this setup. I got it for my boy to use at our small fishing pond and it is a hit. Good feel and the weight and balance are perfect. I recommend this setup and you can't beat the price.

This might sound a little crazy but can you switch the reel handle from right to left sides?? If so how?Thanks

A:Â
easy switch. just unwind the handle (crank backwards), unscrew the cap on the other side, and reverse them.A:Â
Don't have that exact reel but should be able to screw out knob on left side of reel. Then while holding spool in place screw handle backward and remove. Place handle into hole on left side where knob was and holding spool again screw it in forward until secure. Place knob over hole right side and screw in tightly. At least that's how my Pflueger President works.Answers
A:Â
Dead weight, probably not a great deal. I would not recommend lifting a very large fish straight out of the water by the rod. On the other hand, with the drag set properly you can tire out rather large fish and land them. The bigger the fish the slower you with want to bring it in. Allow the drag to do its job and the rod will not be an issue.A:Â
I have caught 8 lb channel cats on this rod (accidently) and I had no issues. I would be afraid to catch 15lb fish on it thoughTop 1000 Contributor
A:Â
The rods come in a few different actions, medium and medium-heavy depending on length. Should be able to handle about any freshwater fish as long as you're not hauling in monster mississippi river cats!Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
It depends. Medium action 25 pounds. Lite action 8 pounds. Ultra lite action 3 pounds. Medium lite action 13 pounds.A:Â
There is really no "breaking weight". I have seen large channel cats caught on ultra-light reels when individuals are fishing with minnows for crappie and the rod was able to handle the fish. If you intend to fish for larger species, it may be best if you go with a rod that has a lot of "backbone", or weight. Large species such as flathead catfish may require rods that are heavy to extra heavy, while if you are targeting bluegill and crappie, light to ultra-light rods may be best.Details:Â
Could you pls advice more info for model: PFLTRIONGX66LCBwhat is action, consist of pieces, lure weight, â„–ball bearing.

Unsure what has happened, but the majority of pages for combo's give almost no rod information, (length, 1piece 2 piece, etc). Am I missing something or is it the website?Answers
A:Â
It's a 1 piece rod. Very well built. Shipping will cost a little more since it is 1 piece. I would recommend the combo. I purchased 2 of the rod and reel combos. 1 for me and another for a gift.Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
I guess it is the website because It isn't a cheap rod or anythingDetails:Â
ive recently been paralized and always loved fishing but im looking to get more in to it. i like this rod but not sure what legnth of rod to get or what line capability i should get. i do mostly lake fishing. id like a pole and line that could handle a good size fish.Answers
A:Â
That would depend on if your are fishing from a boat or from shore. A longer rod is handy in-shore where a shorter one is easier to manage from a boat (trolling).I find a 7 or 8 footer to be perfect from shore and I use a 6 footer on the boat. Hope this helps!!

A:Â
You should try the 6'6" one because I catch big catfish with that oneTop 1000 Contributor
A:Â
medium action with 10 to 14 pound lineA:Â
I would suggest the 6' or maybe even the 5'6 and for line would either get some 8lb mono or 20lb braid hope this helpsTop 50 Contributor
A:Â
Looking for bigger fish I would go with the 6'6" M 8 lb line or the 7' 10 lb line. Both would work excellent for what you are fishing for.A:Â
I have two of these rods and i like them very well. The two I have are 6'6 M and i run 10-12lb test line Stren smooth cast and it works very well. I have caught everything from catfish in the ohio to small and largmouth bass and stripers and they have stood up too everything i put them against.Answers
A:Â
The 6'6 M would most likely be a little stiff and large for trout. This rod is more suited for bass and throwing spinner baits and other hard baits. The light action would suit your needs better or even look for an ultra light.A:Â
Go with the 5'6" UL with 4lb fluorocarbon line for trout.Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
yes it will be ok for trout fishingTop 1000 Contributor
A:Â
maybe if it were me id use the 6,6 L action. but that is meDetails:Â
I am a beginner fisherman and was invited on a Canadian walleye trip in Ontario. I liked the reviews on this setup and was wondering if it would hold up to a week long of walleye and pike fishing. I was considering the 6'6" M (or maybe the 7')Answers
A:Â
If it can handle 12. Pound carp it can fight walleye I Catch big carp on it. : )Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
This would be a great setup for walleye and pike fishing.A:Â
Yes, this rod would do very well for walleye. Extra stiff and so far has taken every thing I can throw at it, so I would say your fine for walleye fishing.A:Â
From a boat shorter is better!!Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
i think a 6,6 or 7 would be fine. Just put some 20 to 30 lb testAnswers
A:Â
Suppose you could use it for just about any fishing. I do a lot of river fishing. For the streams, I use a shorter rod.A:Â
I have two and they cast really nice. Retrieve is just as smooth.Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
yes, it would. Get the 6 foot if it fits you goodTop 1000 Contributor
A:Â
great trout, bass, and crappie rodA:Â
I got the 6 1/2 foot light rod and used it catching rainbows and it worked great. I had 6 lb line and the fights were fun. Try 4 lb and they'd be even better. You won't be disappointed if you get this combo.Details:Â
I fish small mouth bass alot would this be good for them?Answers

trout bass and crappieTop 500 Contributor
A:Â
any fish you hook.....that is what i use it for.A:Â
It would work great for bass. I fish a lot of trout with this rod and realTop 1000 Contributor
A:Â
It will be ok for smallies. I am not sure you want to use it 4 or 5 times a week for small jaws though. It may not be that durable.Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
this is affordable, durable, and fish catching...get it!....i have one and have caught 100+ smallies in a small river biggest being 16 inches...i used the 5 foot 6 light combo with 8 lb test and it is terrific..even caught me a 7 lb largemouth bass!! i would recommenedTop 250 Contributor
A:Â
This would be the perfect combo for the small mouth bass you mentioned. The rod is sensetive and the reel is smooth and can cast a mile. This is also great for largemouth, blue gill, and freshwater cats. Tight lines!Details:Â
I put my equipment through heck, and I've broken a few low end rods and I don't want to waste money on another. I do take good care of my stuff, but I'm on the water every chance I get and stuff happens sometimes.Answers

it would be good i belive cause dropped mine on concrete and not a scratchA:Â
ive had this rod for over a year now and it has given me no trouble at all. for the money, i think this is your best option. very durableTop 500 Contributor
A:Â
very durable......mine has been durable for the 3 years that i have had mineA:Â
after i bought this combo (7') me and my family were leaving bass pro shops and my mom has a mini van with the auto shutting side doors and my little brother shut the door on the tip of the rod... it was sticking outside the door about 3" or 4" and it did nothing! i'm still using it today its a good rodTop 1000 Contributor
A:Â
It's a decent rod but I'd probably go with a little higher qualityA:Â
Must use then you will be pleased very strongA:Â
I have bought 2 of these combos and they are great rods and reels, great feel and reel is super smooth for price. Would be buying this combo again this year but I am up grading to their president reel and buying some St. Croix rods for them....But Trions are GREAT!!!!
