Rated 4 out of 5 by Ralphers Great Trolling Rod
This is an excellent rod for trolling for striped bass in east Tennessee rivers and reservoirs. I prefer the medium action. The only negative issue is the foam handle which can have chunks torn away by the rod holder if you get into a lot big fish - 20+ pounds and you have the drag set tight. I tape the foam handle with duct tape which solves this problem. You can spruce up your rod by using duct tape which has your favorite school's logo on it. You can pay a lot more for a rod but you won't find a better trolling rod - at least for trolling for large stripers. If you troll for smaller fish, say 10 pounds maximum, I would use a medium-light rod and the foam handle will not be an issue.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Jclarke One of the best downrigging rods ever owned
I bought this rod because I had broken my previous rod, I just needed something cheap to get back out on the water. If I had known about this prior to spending 150.00 on the previous one I would have bought 5. This rod is extremely durable, and is pretty comfortable for the price. I use it for down rigging, and now using it when i jig for musky. This rod is a gem and I highly recommend anyone to pick it up the price is great, the durability is fantastic, and the action on it is great at the 8' length.

I used this rod for Black fish (Tog) Here on the East coast. Great rod... love the feel. Cant wait to take it out for some Ling (red hake) and Cod action, basically bottom fishing. I have the HM 7' one and the feel and action is perfect. the PRICE!!! is cheap.. maybe a bit heavier.. compared to my H Compre muskie rod, but only maybe by 2-3 oz...

A:
I haven't used a low profile bait caster on this rod, but I feel it would be okay to use, I don't see why not. The eyes are really low and close to the rod so it wouldn't interfere. I think it would just look a little funny.Details:
