A:
No, the rod does not come with any line. I recommend using Mr. Crappie line with this if you plan to use it for panfish or trout.Details:
How well does this cast small trout lure? How far?Answers
A:
I can cast a 1/8th ounce jig 20+ yards easily.Gets a 1/16th jig about 15 yards.
A:
I caught a 21 # Muskie on 4# test and a #6 gold aberdeen hook and had no issues during the fight.A:
"up to" is the key .... an Ultralight set-up is typically not the right one if you approach a 10 pound bass ..... you'll really have your skill tested if you do hook one with this!!!A:
Would not recommend for that size fish. Casts the smaller lures very well. As far as needed reallyA:
I don't know about ten lbs. If you played the fish a little i am sure you could.I would stick to fish under 6 lbs
Top 500 Contributor
A:
Not sure about a 10lbs fish. I probably wouldn't be using this rod/reel combo for 10 lbs bass fishing. I use this rod for trout only. I was throwing small jig heads (1/32 oz & 1/16 oz.) no problem. I threw some inline spinners absolutely fine too. Depending on the weight of your lure obviously, but you could get it out 15 - 25 feet no problem.Details:
or is it manual?Answers
A:
No trigger and you don't need one--maually open and close your bail and it lasts much longer.A:
noA:
No it does not, its like most other spinning cast reels.A:
NoA:
No, it does not.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
You'll have to manually flip/open/close the bail when you're ready to retrieve and cast again.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
The bail is flipped by hand and closed either by hand or by cranking the handle.Answers
A:
You can get it in 4 foot 8 inchesor
5 foot
Top 500 Contributor
A:
One piece rod. Total weight was pretty close. I have 4lbs. test camo line on there. Not sure on actual numbers but it's pretty darn light.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
1 piece. Total weight would determine on which reel you buy with the setup. I have the 5 oz reel and the rod is very light and comfortable.Answers
A:
5 ft
Top 500 Contributor
A:
4' 8" or 5' options. I used the 5' for trout fishing and like it tremendously.A:
The rod is either 4' 8" or 5' 2" depending on which model you get.Details:
Would this make a good all around fishing rod.Answers
A:
For average fishing, yes. It you are throwing large baits--no. Any weight over 1/8 of an ounce--the rod is not made for that.A:
Haven't had this long enough to really say how durable. I use it for a little bit of everything. Lake and stream trout and bassA:
You would think it isn't strong when you take it out of the box. But I trust this rod just like I trust an ugly stick
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I pulled in a few trout this year on it. My cousin pulled in a nice 18" brook trout weighing a good 2 plus pounds. All around panfish/trout fishing yes. Not sure if I'd choose this reel/rod combo for bass fishing. I think with the combo of light weight, feel, and flex, this is a great little rod for those sweet honey holes and river/stream fishing.
Top 500 Contributor
A:
I have used this combo for a while now with no troubles. After each use I do clean and lube my gear so I'm sure that makes a difference. Probably not a good all around combo. I would suggest for the money the Abu Garcia Cardinal 100 med sized reel with a 6' rod for a good all around spinning setup.A:
It all depends on what you consider all around. It's an ultra-light combo, so catching a heavier, harder fighting fish will be quite a challenge. This rod is meant for smaller trout and panfish. You hook a good size bass or any other type of game fish and you're in for a ride. You have to be careful with ultra light rods because if you put too much strain on them, regardless of brand, they will break. If you're going after small trout or pan fish, look no further. BPS makes some excellent products and you can expect quality from this set up.

A:
I would say that I put my gear through a fair amount of abuse and I would say that these are pretty durable combo. As for an all-around combo, you can use this for largemouths but I like something a little stiffer.Images for this Answer
