A:
I use 30lb braid most of the time, with a flouro leader, and I've never had a problem. That being said, I don't usually catch anything other than 1-3 pound largemouths, but if you're bass fishing, I highly recommend them. I own 4. In my opinion, best rod you can buy for $35, and if you catch them on sale, $25.
A:
With todays superlines, you probably could break the rod on a big fish (or log!). However, I use up to 20# test braided line with this rod and have landed bass close to 5 pounds. This rod is a med/low tensile graphite and is fairly rugged. Just make sure your drag is set properly and allow your bigger fish to run a little. Even "cheap" reels these days utilize ceramic or graphite braking in their drag systems. This generation of "cheap" reels are significantly better than yesteryear's "expensive" reels, and have smoother/heat resistent drag systems.Q:

Is a Medium action rod good for spinnerbaits? Or does it just depend on the weight of the lure?
Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
If you use large heavy lures get the MH std 1/8-3/4 M It does matter.
A:
It really depends on the weight of the lure you are using.Answers

The difference is the length of the handles, the "A" is the shortest, and the "D" is the longest! Hope this helps?Tight lines, and be safe!

I want to buy a 7' medium action rod like this....Do you have any recommendations for a spinning crappie reel? I need to be able to switch the handle on the reel.Answers
A:
For Crappies go to a Light to Ultra Light action. the softer tip will save you a lot of the "Papermouths"Reel wise I'm very impressed with the Pfleuger "Trion" series. Very smooth and nice drag for the real "slabs"
A:
Not much for crappie but good combo with this rod I think would be Pflueger that carries 8-10lb test.A:
Pflueger president 6725A:
I use nothing except the Shimano Stadic spinning reels. A 1500 or 2500 would be perfect for crappie fishing and would last a very long time as the bearings are designed for saltwater use.

A:
This a stiff slow action rod. I would go with the Micro-Lite (graphite or fiberglass). As far as a reel, the tiny-lite or any small (1000 series) reel in the brand you like.Details:
broke the tip off.Answers
A:
You can, but my experience the tip glue is marginal at best. You are better off scrapping the rod and getting a new one at your earliest convenience.

A:
Use a Fuji rod tip repair kit if you just broke the tip off.Details:
Also I've notice that some 5'6" rod reviews have had a problem with rods breaking--what is the story on that and how long is the warranty for?Answers
A:
NO, depends on your height.I am 5'6" and I find a Shimano MH 7' is best for bait skipping.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
The 5'-6" rod is considered light to ultra light.It's not made to handle the heavy fishing that is required for bass. It's more for pan fish, trout.For stream or pond fishing. I guess if you had a reel with a very good drag and did not mind playing the fish,I guess you could do some heavy fishing.
A:
Yes, some anglers prefer to use shorter rods when skipping baits. Bass Pro Shops brand rods are warranted for 1 year from the date of purchase against defects in materials, workmanship, and against breakage under normal fishing conditions, to the original purchaser. This warranty is void if the rod is in an abused or misused condition and does not cover "normal wear and tear."Details:
Is the Abu Garcia® Abumatic™ 276Ui Underspin Reel compatible with this rod? Do you have other BPS rod recommendations?Answers
A:
That would a great combo but I would think more along the lines of pflueger underspin.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
Yes the Abumatic would be compatible with the rod.I would match it with a 6'-6" medium rod, but you can also go with a 6'-6" mh or a 7' m to a 7' mh.Depending on what your are fishing for. I would recommend using a spinning reel instead, but use whichever reel you are most comfortable with, the easier it is to fish,the more often you will go fishing.Answers
A:
These rods are on sale for this price in stores also.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
no go in and u can get it if u talk to the reel guys they will help u out with the reel as well great combo prices with it i got it with the diawa regal best rod and reel ive ever had
Top 10 Contributor
A:
No It was the same in all of the catalogs, but on sales you can some times find it cheaper.Answers
A:
I would not recommend a Bass Pro rod.A Shimano Medium weight rod in 7 foot would be Ideal.
Top 250 Contributor
A:
I use the 6' or the 6'6" light and medium action! The 6'6" medium heavy is OK if you are fishing for 5 to 10 pound fish or just want to winch out the fish! For stream fishing the 6'medium is great for brookies, rainbows and browns, it's tough enough and has the sensitivity to hook the shy biting trout .I have mine paired with a Mitchel 308.

The medium heavy 6"6' 2 piece us what i like the best.Details:
What kind of rods do you recommend for bass fishing?Answers
Top 500 Contributor
A:
by far i recomed the Falcon BoCuu and Falcon Lowrider series and i wish that bass pro would cary the Falcon HD series rods and the Quantum Smoke series rods all of the rods i have listed range from price of $69-$140 and most rods are made of a internal wrap called Pre-Pray and graphite, T-Glass is becomeing more and more popular every day but also E-glass and fiberglass personaly i prefer a good graphite rod over any although i do have some that have T-glass wrapped around the Graphite and Pre-Pray
A:
Graphite is most commonly used material, but we do carry rods built from fiberglass, E-glass and even carrot fibers. Yes, a company called Element 21 developed a whole line of rods made from carrot fibers. The Carrot Stix are outstanding bass rods, but they are a bit pricy. Graphite rods such as the Bass Pro Shops Graphite Series rods have a good reputation and are hard to beat for the price.1 of 1
