Is this combo good for crappie fishing

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

Not usually unless it is offered as a combo. It is a great rod for catching saltwater bait around oyster bars when you cannot throw a net. Pick up the smallest Daiwa reel you can find and put on 4 to 6lb line and you are set. Also the rod and reel combo is great for backpacking through the west. If you come across a creek catch a few grasshopper and use a small gold hook and you will have trout supper in no time. Mind the bears if you are cleaning, cooking near your camp. Good luck.

Not at all! I use the Elite 5-HDI to fish for striper, white bass, hybrid, walleye, and crappie and don't seem to have any problems with it. It works great!!

It can be used for lure fishing, depending upon how fast you need to retrieve the lure. The gear ratio should be higher for fast retrieve baits such as crank baits and buzz baits. It's a personal preference.

I use it with a CJF 65 spinning reel by Okuma and the combo works great. Much better for getting snappers out of the rocks than a conventional rig. Don't know the reel that you mentioned.

I use this bait for bottom fishing so used it on drooper loop rig. Simply put on hook same as you would live bait.

To the best of my recollection - yes. I believe that is what we did. Nice unit. Would buy again. Good fishing!!!

Yes, ours came with a good starter set of tackle. It is very cheap tackle though, only for very lightweight fishing

As long as you don't put extreme pressure on the rod and use all the stress on the line it can be used. The rod is very fragile and cannot be used with heavy lures... Good luck

It would be great for trout fishing. Your line and pole would be the biggest difference for using this reel. I use it for light saltwater fishing and would def use it for some trout back at home.

I haven't used it in any of these applications, but I think it could be used for all these except for Bass. The rod may be too big for catching Bass.

If you are fishing for larger fish, I would go with the Penn 4000. If you want to fish for bass, catfish,crappie I would go with a smaller rig. Look for reels that use 15 pound test or less and a reel that would compliment the rod. Have fun. Jim

I would not recommend it for a beginner fisherman especially not that young because this combo is very hard to keep the line from knitting up.

The rod and reel could handle a nice sized bass if you play the fish out. The rod doesn't have a lot of back bone. But i have hooked onto a few 1-2lb bass and it did fine. I would suggest using 20-30lb braid because you get good strength and small diameter.
