what kind of rod to use on a 1200?

I use my reel for mostly jetty and surf fishing paired with a 9' rod with 15 pound braid. I think it would also work very well with a boat rod.

3/4 inch for the 500 + 800, I believe the 1200 is bigger...It should also come with the threaded to barb outlet connector. I upgraded from the 500 to the 800 and am very happy.

You can reel with either hand. The handle screws onto either side that you prefer. I have a 12' rod too, but the 4000 is a bit small for it. But yes it would work, though a 6000 or 7000 or 8000 hold more line.

I'm using 10lb Cajun Line Mono in a 6-14lb Shimano spinning rod. works good on large fish, but I'm not at a place to surf fish.

Check out Home Depot. My husband and son bought a very nice telescoping spring-loaded rod there and it's very attractive.

I personally haven't used it for rods. I have been using it for tig. I was impressed with this unit because of a youtube video comparing it to a Miller maxtar 350. youtube search everlast 140 .

Medium size spinning reel, something you can use 4-8 lb line on... this is the best rod I've ever owned

This mount has a standard tripod screw mount. I have the Contour 1600 which has the screw thread built into the bottom. I don't think the 1200 has this (could be wrong), so you may need to get a contour tripod adapter to make it work. Other than that, the mount is solid and good quality. I have it attached to my motorcycle handlebar.

This by itself will not unless you want to drill holes. Ram makes a ubolt adapter which fastens to the handlebars. i have no idea what a bmw 1200 rt is but assume it is a motorcycle.

Not familiar with that rod...but I know the reels work great so far...but any good 30-50 would work good...I personally like the all roller rods...I bought the davis 30-50

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.

I believe mine came with a 12" rod which I cut in half to give better clerance. You can buy various length rods at local lumber yards such as Lowes and Home Depot.

I have an Extreme 2. It had the original 310 lbs as well. Took me about 7 mins to install the extra 100 lbs. It simply pops on the end of the current rod structure and I believe you have a couple of screws to screw in. To do that you have to tilt the unit...I was able to get this done on my own, but if you have another set of hands, it just makes it easier and faster.

Yes. I was thinking of getting the 1200 and it has the same connection spots top and bottom. Just beware it takes a little muscle and maybe a little hole enlarging to fit the top bolts in, but it is well worth it. These bars are the best.

I guess you could do this with a coupler, but I would not do this as this could be a breaking point. I would look for a 8' rod and if you can't fine one that Hunter makes, then you might be able to use threaded pipe.

Yes, this will work. A 1200 cartridge will work as well. Only difference is the 1200 is all brass and more expensive.
