40lb power pro is exactly what I have on mine(fierce 4000). I bought the 150yd spool and filled the reel. excellent combination.

In my experience most any reel work on a 5 wt. it holds more line than u need but it's light.

The Nomad rod is a pretty heavy duty stick. With the lighter medium tip, it would work with the Baitfeeder 50a, but I would find it out of balance. (Over-rodded, under-reeled. A 7000-8000 size spinning reel is a good balance. I sometimes use a Penn Spinfisher 7500 on mine. For Conventional reels, a 30-50 size is about right. If you are set on using the Baitfeeder 50a, Okuma also offers a Nomad Xpress, which is the same rod blank, but lighter and smaller grips and hardware, and comes in a 20-40 line weight model, which would be about perfect. (only one tip, but a lot more reasonable $)

I recommend the 3/4 line weight Cahill Crystal River reel....they are about 10$ here on Amazon. GREAT, light, reel

I currently use my reel for a 16x30 pool. The reel is telescoping so I would consult with the mfg on the maximum extended lenght. Mine is extended out to 18 ft.

Any fish you would need to use a braided line for would be too much for that reel. Stick with mono.

I think there are 3. Sizes if the Reel. The smallest model should be the right one for fishing crappies. .

Very soft tip on this thing. I wouldn't go over 1 1/4 oz. I used 1 oz cast masters no problem with a wright and McGill 2500 saltwater reel and 20 pound Seaguar Kanzen braid.......casts a mile.

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

it should be a spinning rod for these okuma spinning reels with large eyes starting at lower mid rod for casting, take a look at some more rods before you buy,be sure that you match them up for casting,if that bwc11022120 is a 12 foot surf rod you are ok, hope this helped you

200 yards of 10lb test line. This is not real large of a reel. It's good for bass, large catfish, stripers, drum, blues and spanish mackeral. It could also be used for surf fishing or pier fishing. If your catching fish from 5 to 12 lbs this is perfect size. But buy a better reel like the Penn Pursuit 4000.

You sound like you're new at this. Fishing is like life. How serious are you? Compared to monofilament line; fluoro is stiff and has a lot of memory, along with its invisibility. I wouldn't try to throw the best 12# size fluoro on a normal sized 40 spinning reel. Instead, stick with a good softer mono, like Berkley Trilene XL 12#, and use a fluoro leader.

Wt 9.9 oz, max drag 14lb, mono capacity 10/210, 12/180, 14/150. Braid capacity 25/265, 30/165, 35/135. Given the max drag of 14lb, I would not go to braid. I am fishing for schooly striped bass with 10lb line. Reel is not meant for salt water, but with good cleaning, I will make do.

I use 20lbs power pro braided line, reel works fine and line isn't to heavy, casts far and come back quickly...
