Rated 4 out of 5 by SwampDonkey13 Great Rod, not sold on the reel yet.
I really like the design and feel of the rod. It has a spot to attach my hook which I enjoy and has a good feel while casting. Rod also seems to be very tough. The reel however has a very cheap feel to it. The handle is attached it a way that if you pull backward on to hard will unscrew the handle. While reeling it it also has a slow and unsmooth feel to it. I may be being a little picky for the money, but overall am satisfied.

Rated 5 out of 5 by newfishman Nice rod cought a fish first use
I watched a how to on spooling the real onto the new rod and it worked like a charm. The rod is heavy but I guess that is what you get when you get a catfish rod. Very durable and like the feel of it. I was also able to teach my 6 and 8 year old how to cast with this rod.
I will get them a much smaller rod to start with this one is a little to heavy for them.

Rated 4 out of 5 Value for the price
great rod for the price. Have fished quite a bit with it this month and have reeled in some big snags with it and everything performed great. The sensitivity is really well felt with a rod of this size and that is with 50lb. test on the spool. The only small problem ive found is the balance of it but for the price cant be to picky with it.

I have caught many carp on my setup, this rig works great for both catfish and carp. I've had some real fighters on the line and the pole is strong enough to pull in the big hawgs.

just the eyelets glow in the darkA:
The rod doesnt glow in the dark, its marketed as having the top three eyelets glow in the dark. But they dont, so you may want to throw a bell on the end. Not a big deal by any means though, still a great combo.Details:

How would this reel handle 30lb braided line? Also, how many yards of 30 lb braided line could it hold?
Answers
A:
works great with 30# braided...not sure how many yards it took thoughA:
firstly check and see how much 12lb mono would fit, and yes it would handle it, I've used 20lb braid on small spinning reels, around 8lb and as long as you dont wind up the drag it'll do wellDetails:
if no would you show me whats a good combo for pike (and please show me a good lure)Answers
A:
I've used this fishing rod for that. It works great. I put 20lb line on my rod.A:
I would go with a combo a little smaller.This rod and reel is a little big for pike.Where i live 3 inch white grubs work well
