is this good for walleye fishing

It is good for the fish size up to 2feet at most. It will be quit thrilling if you really catch a big one having hard time toretrieve.If you expect bigger than that, you need one with larger spool and stronger drag like Abu 5000 or 6000 series.

I think you would be ok with it. I have never used one for walleye but I have never had any problems with it for bass fishing and I fish them a lot. Only problem I ever had was a bad handle and I just replaced it and was an easy fix. The drag is good and casts real smooth. I would use them for steelhead fishing in the rivers and think it would hold up just fine. I have fished the Black Max for northern largemouth bass in the state of Oregon for bass as big as 9lbs and use them in bass tournaments and again have had no problems other then one of my reels had a loose grip on the handle and I just replaced the handle for an easy fix. I hope this helps you out, good luck!

Is this good for walleye fishing......? I would say yes based on my experience fishing walleye and the equipment I have used. I will say, I have not used this reel on walleye so I cannot base this on fact only on what I know from experience. Having said that, this reel is made well and is well suited for that type of fishing. Mine are used in several different configurations on all types of fishing and I would not hesitate to fish walleye with any of my gear. If you are comfortable with your equipment, you will be comfortable with your results.....Fish On!

I also use mine for bass; 11.25 is biggest so far. I would say that it has a little bit larger spool than most low profile baitcasters I have seen (except those for inshore/saltwater) if that helps...

I have 3 of these reels I am real happy with them. I use them for bass and catfish the line I use is 20lb breaded line super good for25lb catfish. I had no problem. I say give it a try and see what happen for the price you can not beat it. GO FOR IT

I have caught numerous walleyes with this reel along with 3' pike and bass with no problem.I use 20# berkley tracer braid and a 14# leader and have had no problems with the reel in fact I'm going to order another with a 9' rod for cats and larger fish that is how confident I am with this reel.

I thought it was a good fishing boat but there are a lot of regulations you would have to check with each individual lake and their rules. most require hard bottom boats, which this is not. I used it for going down small creeks where there wasnt much monitoring.

yes,,, its a great reel for braided line,, just look at the diameter of the line match it with the specs on the reel,, fish on brother,, oh by the way,,, the high speed means,, HIGH SPEED,,

you can catch anything with this rod. Might be a little heavy for just trout.

not sure, sorry! We returned it because it was too long. It isn't good for fishing in a lake, I guess it is more for ocean fishing and if we ever do that...we will just have them provide the poles.

Yes it works well in 40-60 feet deep water and it also works in shallow water but it's harder to tell whats your hook and the fish. One thing I noticed is you can see other lines in the water 3 feet from your finder in 6 feet of water. The deeper you go the more lines you see so basically in 60 feet of water you can see everyone 20 feet around you fishing on the bottom. I watched two guys jigging minnows 20 feet from me in 60 feet of water. As long as you keep your distance you'll be alright. One last thing to note is the display is delayed 1-2 seconds.

I think you'd probably be okay. I've caught a lot of bass in the 4-5lb range and a few around 8 and I hooked into a 40"+ Tiger Muskie on a bass rig but wasn't able to boat it. Reel still works fine.

I personally wouldn't use it for surf fishing. I've casted with it for short distances but not sure how it would hold up having to cast long distances with heavy weight. The drag is not entirely adjustable so unless you are using heavy weight to keep it anchored, strong water movement has the drag clicking very often. Not to deter you from considering this reel by no means, its a great beginner reel and even though I've upgraded from it, I still use it when putting out several rods.

Yes this is very good for surf fishing. You might want to change the line to a heaver line say 20 or 25 LBS depending on what you are fishing for.

It is a fairly short and stiff rod. It will not cast a line much distance. If you basically drop lines straight down and just need the stiffness of the rod for bringing fish up, you should be okay with this rod.

Sorry, I have no idea. I can handle Pike, Walleye, etc. no problem. I thought you guys swam underwater and grabbed those big 'ole catfish with your bare hands, LOL.

I use it for fishing in the ocean and have been very happy with its performance. I have always used Penn reels and have always had good results with them.

Yes, but it could also be used for stillfishing/live bait as well. if you prefer live bait fishing the Shimano Baitrunner series might be a good choice, or one of the Okuma baitfeeder reels (Avenger, Coronado or Epixor).

The reel on this unit is not very good . I would not get it. If you are trying to catch big fish it will not be ver strong

Yes. I am currently using it for fresh water topwater lures but it can be used for any lure of small to medium size
