Rated 4 out of 5Â by Sacstripertime execellent rod
The rods got a nice backbone to it, it's an uglystick so durability is included. The tip is on the flimsier side for a medium/heavy rod, so when u reel in just your bait. it arches real easily. Other then that the rod will hold up against 15 to 20 lb stripers still. Nice rod and an absorbing tip to it.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by drag Good value
I used the shorter stiff rods all last year and loved them for trolling. You can feel the fish pretty well with them and they are well made. When I'm shoving them in my rod box and snag the eyes on the tubes, there is no danger of breaking an eye. Very sturdy.
I just bought some of the longer medium soft rods and I look forward to trying those as well.
I use lighter tackle and rods with more feel for still fishing, but for rugged trolling conditions these are the ticket for me. Paired them up with some Okuma line counters and have no complaints.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by Skeeter143 Awesome Rod
I purchased 4 of these rods last year to use for down-lining for Stripers. The sensitive tip combined with enough backbone to pull in 20~30 lb Stripers is great. The price might be cheap but the rod is not. I recently purchased 2 more of these rods. I love them.

To each his own, but I don't care for this rod. I got the 7'6 based on reviews to use for general salt water fishing. I typically like ugly stiks because of the durability and use them for bait fishing, but this rod just feels awkward and clunky. It doesn't cast all that well or feel great in your hand either. I find the new saltwater inshore series far superior to this, so check them out before you purchase.

Going to fish stripers for first time this year and have no idea what I need, I will be downlining in Norris resevoire . Any info would be greatAnswers
A:Â
I use the 7' model. The med action works well. I'caught many Stripers and Blues on these. The reel I use is a Penn bait runner, cause sometimes we use bunker chunks or liveliness. The second drag on the rear of this reel is fantastic.A:Â
for downlining stripers, a lot of striper guys and i use heavy action ugly stik striper rods with either abu garcia 6500's or shimano 6000's. you want a big round reel with a good drag that'll hold lots of 20 or 40 lb line.also for downlining, use 3 oz slinding weights, 2' to 3' of fluorocarbon leader of the same lb test, and 3/0 or 4/0 gamakatsu circle hooks depending on the size of the bait!

Go to the Shakespeare "Catfish rods", I use 50# braid with those for Giant Redfish bottom fishing, rather than the striper rods that are lighter action.Same rods, just the catfish models are heavier.

I'm not crazy about this rods action at all. If you prefer a stiff rod that can horse fish, get the catfish model. Its heavier, but I prefer it to the striper rod.Details:Â
I originally bought the BPS CatMaxx reel, so I could string up some 20lb braided...but it doesn't fit on this pole?!?Which reels would work on this pole and support 20lb test?
Answers
A:Â
abu garcia 6000's or shimano 6000's.A:Â
i'm an avid striper fisherman and i can say that majority of people on lake hartwell, murry,clarks hill, and sante cooper, all rig these with abu gacia 6500 C3's. you can use up to 25 lb mono,it has a bait clicker, and still has a low enough gear ratio to winch in a 40 lb fish.A:Â
I bought an EXTREME 40 for my Striper rod and it performs very well. I use 30lb power pro on the reel. I get long smooth casts and great feel !Images for this Answer

Check out a Penn 9m or 209. I have an old 109 on a regular ugly stick and it works great.Answers
A:Â
I would think so, works great for stripers on the Ca delta, and I have caught a few cat's with it as well, good backbone and a nible tip, easy to read bites on the bottom, hope this helps.
