Will this reel work as a jigging reel for grouper?

Yes, don't for get to keep the Jig on the bottom, with its nose in the mud. troll about 4 to 7 mph.

I think yes. My grandson will test this it out next spring in Florida. According the specifications it is a superb reel, I have very positive experience with DAIWA. Since I live close to Paris (F) frequent fishing at sea impossible

Yes this reel is an excellent choice, works well for other types of fishing as well for tuna, Mahi Mahi etc

i do not fish for grouper but i have used this reel jigging for jumbo bluefish 12-18 lbs, spooled with 40 lb test, we use mostly diamond jigs with tubes but either casting them out or jigging straight up and down i was not more satisfied with this reel i love it, i have also used it on off shore wreck trips approximately 65 miles off shore in about 200 ft of water and it worked great, so for grouper i dont know but for the jigging that i use for it works great for me hope that helps

I have a bait caster on this rod. I don't use it so much for casting but for slow drifting and trolling. I have not used it enough, but it seems to work ok.

Definitely. You would have to figure out how to get it started since the hose you connect it to the reel. It could be done though.

Yes, but it is designed for freshwater. You should probably get a more sturdy reel for saltwater fishing.

The rod, perhaps, although anything more than a couple of pounds would be a challenge. The reel is not a saltwater reel and will likely not hold up well if used routinely for saltwater fishing. Occasional use, if followed with a thorough rinse in fresh water and proper lubrication would probably be OK. If you want something for routine saltwater usage, I would not recommend this. If you want something packable and portable, for pond and creek fishing for panfish, trout and bass up to a few pounds, this is a good choice.

I cant say for sure it will work great on a 10weight. But I build custom rods and put this reel on all the 8 weight lamiglass I build as a budget option and my customers have all been very happy. Just make sure your using good line and you should be all set.

I have the 7 ft and haven't used it for anything close to that big. My guess would be if your reel is up to the task I think the pole would work for thst

Yes! Mines sometimes will pick up my lure as a fish. It can pick up jig if there is rapid movement of the jig or lure.

Fairly large. It could reel a 100lb+ fish if you fight it correctly! If you are talking tightening the drag and strong arm the fish in, well then probably no. (Depending on the fish) I would say a fish like a 30lb Bonita or Tuna will wreck the bearings on this reel when it takes off! However, I am sure you could bring up/in a 30lb Black Drum, Redfish, Cod, or some "slower" fish with it. I have hooked into many a large 5-6 ft black tip shark (playing with the drag) and fought them usually till the leader saps or hooks straighten! Its an awesome reel, would buy it again & again in a heartbeat. As always, clean and service your reels often (especially the nice ones) and you will enjoy them a long time. PS, I own the 5500

If your frame poles are round it will work. But if the poles are shaped different the skimmer will not stay on. But you can tie it down with a string. Hope this answers your question.

This depends on what your going to us the rod for. I got it for bottom fishing. I matched to a Penn 500 Jig master. It will accept either a 3.0 or 4.0 reel. The big limitation is the size of line you rig it with. Keep in mind the limitation of the pole. It's excellent for bottom fishing, but is suitable for other applications.

Can be used for small salt water species. Make sure you clean reel after each use. I used them for years flounder fishing in New England.

Sorry to say, but this is a strong reel meant for Marine Fishing. Put some strong line on it and go after the big fish ! Keith S.

Yes, but be aware it's just the reels. You will need to order the appropriate size pole.

Yes, that should not be a problem. This reel works with both 9 and 7 weight. Just match the line to the rod.

Would not recommend it. It is really a fresh water reel. I have used mine to surf fish, not as smooth as it once was. I have caught 40 pound catfish with it.
