is this rod for open face reels?

This rod is for conventional trolling type reels for example search penn 113h to get a visual. It's not for a spinning reel

I have the spin cast and the closed face rods, they are so much fun, every fish feels big. I even caught an 8 to 10 lb. catfish on the spin rod, yes it bent double and still is fine. I put micro size reels on them fun "extra" fun.(splurged and bought expensive ultra fine line) It is cheap, but holds together. I suggest the spin open face as the most fun.

Yes, no problem with that. The reel seat is similar to any other spinning rod as that the reels can be removed. The rod is telescopic. One thing though, this does not come with a case. There are others that do but they are multiple piece rods.

I'm afraid I cannot answer your question. The first time I opened the rod it stuck in the full open position and I could never close it again. I sent it back for a refund.

I not too familiar with the reel you are talking about, but I bought two of these rods and have been very happy with there performance, I use one with a penny reel for surf casting and the other for bottom fishing off of a jetty.

It could be, you will need to change your reel. This reel is not for salt water use.

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.

I purchased a pflueger and a diawa open face reel for each of my fishing rods. Both were around $60 apiece. My advice is buy a compact reel that is of good quality.

Not properly. Since a spinning reel mounts under the rod, if used in that configuration the line would not pass over the very top most roller but would instead be abraded by the roller guide wire.

The rods are designed for dipsy divers which create alot of force. But they could be used for casting but the reel is primarily used for trolling. I would look for a bait caster reel if you are doing regular fishing. I catch 20lb plus salmon on theseway poles with ease. Anything smaller i would go with a lighter/shorter rod.

I'm not familiar with your rod. Try it and see what happens. Bear in mind it is an inexpensive reel.

It should fit just fine unless you have a reel with some wacky crazy large foot. Mine easily fits my penn 6500 although really a 3000 or 4000 series reel is plenty big enough for this rod.

It's big enough to do that with smaller rods and reels. But it will limit how many you can fit. I used it for saltwater gear and I had to take the reels off to make it work.

Depending on the size of the reel, yes. I use 6-8 test line and a Skeet Reese finesse tube rod for trout.

No, only 7-7 1/2 ' two-piece rod. Plano makes another product which will hold both (bought one at Dick's for $52) as long as the reel has a "fold-in" handle.

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

I would not trust a rod for a reel this heavy that was more than 2 pieces. Ebay had a couple of rods for around $80 last time I looked. Stay with graphite instead of fiberglass.
