What type of lure is this rated for (weight)?

This is a heavyweight pole with a below average reel. I like the pole as a class for medium sharking, 5-7 footers. It has alot of backbone for a surf type pole. But the reel is light for its size and might be okay for flounder seatrout etc. Hope this helps.

I've had this rod for about 4 seasons now. It is a work horse; its rated for 2 oz but can double it up to 4 oz.

It is tough. You have to have strong thumbs and fingers to pull off the release paper. Still not worth it as the lures you insert are not as active as other lures on other products. Suggest that you chuck them and get the other brand.

This is definitely one of the lightest bait casters you'll find. Not to mention one of the smoothest reels I've used and is great for salt water or even the largest bass such as caught on Toledo Bend or Lake Fork in Texas. In the 10 to 13 pound range.

I think its a 5 weight rod , I have caught 16"and 18" Trout ,I don't think I would like to catch anything much larger on this rod, I have caught larger but not to often, if I was going surf fishing I think I would want a little larger rod like a 8 or 9 weight , then again it would depend on what was running . Hope this helps.

I also use mine for bass; 11.25 is biggest so far. I would say that it has a little bit larger spool than most low profile baitcasters I have seen (except those for inshore/saltwater) if that helps...

Mine seems pretty light actually. I caught a 10lb redfish with a 3 oz pyramid on and it was about folded in half with little muscle put into pulling it in. I didn't want to put much more into it because it felt like the rod was going to snap.My Penn 8 footer which is med/heavy is much more rigid than this, which I like, because there's nothing worse than losing a fish in the surf because the poles not stiff enough to pull them in out of the backwash.

I would say 4 pounds if they are very thick.I put a tablespoon over the mound rather than their directions of around the mound & sometimes it takes a little more than a week.Amdro has been the best bait for me.

Yes they are a light weight pole but can handle some pretty good fish,I have caught some 16 inch brook trout on them,plenty of Bass and rainbow trout. the 16 inch brookies were a lot of fun on these poles.

Thats what I bought it for and it works great. As with anything used in salt water, be sure to rinse it good with clean water at the end of the day. I have thrown lures as heavy as 7ozs. and the rod performs well.

It is a trout fishing fly rod. Up to 6 lb fish get lessons or hire a guide preferable

It is VERY Light Guessing as a Bass Fisherman. 4-6 Lbs . I bought this cause I Have a Disabled Back . I use this only for light weed control in my Flower Bed. My Gardner is Lazy BUT cheap. so this is a Fantastic Light duty Trimmer. Hope that helps

It is heavier than an ultra light reel. Just need to see if it balances well with the rod your using.

I have 3 of these reels I am real happy with them. I use them for bass and catfish the line I use is 20lb breaded line super good for25lb catfish. I had no problem. I say give it a try and see what happen for the price you can not beat it. GO FOR IT

I think it is too heavy for crappie fishing. Go with a medium or medium light pole for that.

I use 6 Lb test for trout and bass. Seems to work well, have had no issues with knotting or tangling. Love the reel very smooth and fast.

Pretty sure its heavy action. nice quality for a "cheap" rod. I use the 10 foot rod to shore fish for striper and i can throw out a 5ox weight about 70-80 yards.

I would say you should be fine unless you plan on catching something above 20 or 30 pounds. I strictly bass fish and I have handle at least a 6 pounder with ease.
