Bad reelI bought this reel 3 days ago and the drag system on the reel doesn’t work properly. I put a 1 ounce sinker on it and put the drag up,as far as it could go and the line just kept coming off.

Great ComboHad this rod for month 1/2. So far its met all my expectations. Operates smooth and has great ergonomics expected from a medium heavy rod. Took it to the beach and its held up to corrosion. I prefferd this combo over the Abu Garcia Max Pro which I returned after noticing several inconveniences in casting and reeling. This rod combo still holds its place with my other $160 Backlash Custom medium Rod with $30 Shimano Siena 2500 reel. This rod is a keeper till it gives in some years from now. I do relly on it though.
Thank you for choosing Bass Pro Shops. The reel size is listed in the specifications for each model.

I have been looking for a good light rod, will this rod be good for larger bass as well as trout?
Asked by: Trev7603
4-pound test line is the most commonly used line size for ultralight fishing. It's small enough to cast even the lightest lures long distances, but not so light that you risk breaking off with every head shake of a healthy bass.

I'm planning on using this as a multi-purpose game fish rod. Great Lakes salmon and trout in particular. Would this combo be able to stand such abuse?

How is this for bass fishing?
Asked by: Justin896
Thank you for your inquiry. This combo should be fine for bass fishing. Be sure to choose a combo with a higher line capacity and line weight if you know you will be going after bigger bass.

Can I use braided line with this reel? for the medium and how much LB test?
Asked by: Daniel00
Thank you for your question about the Bass Pro Shops MegaCast Spinning Rod and Reel Combo. According to the manufacturer, theyI do not know why braided line could not be used on this. The reel shows line capacity of 6#=185lbs, 8#= 160yds and 10#=115yds. They are not sure what the yardage would be for Braided line.

size of line and weight
What type of line/weight should i use for the 5'6" rod?
Asked by: Daniel00
Hi, the Bass Pro Shops MegaCast Spinning Rod and Reel Combo SKU: 2304227 is rated to hold 6-12 lbs. Heavier monofilament and fluorocarbon lines do not perform well on spinning reels because the diameter of the line is large enough that the spooled line will jump off the reel spool when casting. This creates monstrous backlashes that are not easy to fix – plus it wastes time on the water.
Typically, depending on the fishing situation, use monofilament, braided or fluorocarbon line. Fishing with a spinning reel opens up a lot of possibilities for many anglers.
Thanks
