What is the maximum lure weight for the 9' version of this rod ? Also how many guides does the said 9' rod have ?

It has 6 guides and for a bigwayer series it would accommodate 1-4 oz. weight. I've gone dungeoness crabbing with a 5 oz. pyramid and a crab snare on without issues.

Bought this for my husband who used Spiderwire 15 lb test line for trout in fresh water lake. I guess the test line weight depends on what your fishing for. Hope this helped.

Yes this is a 6ft 6in fly rod. It is labeled as a 3/4wt rod. I was able to cast it with a 3,4,and 5wt line. I found the 4wt to be just right for my style of casting. 3wt was light. 5 was a tad heavy. It's a great rod for the money. Tons of fun to fish with!

spinning rod WMEBWOF7651 Awesome quality. Paired with a Penn Battle 40. I have caught numerous Yellowfin tuna in the 25 to 30lb range. Has a strong backbone

After using mine it feels like a 6-8lb test line. Works pretty flawless and a great pole for the price. Caught some bass and crappie and blue gill first time with it

It is a trout fishing fly rod. Up to 6 lb fish get lessons or hire a guide preferable

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.

No length restrictions. I have this packed with about 18 rods with reels. I love it, it's lite and easy to maneuver, and I can drive up to 90 minutes with it in the bed of my truck without it topping over. All my poles are River/lake poles but it will hold less larger or thicker poles with ease. Hope this helps!

the rod is not a very thick rod but I have caught some over 10 but if you plan to catch a lot in that size range or bigger I would buy a king hawk glowstix since it is a much thicker rod and reasonably priced

If you have the right tackle this 12ft rod will handle anything you will catch from the surf .I. Own the beefsteak 12 ft heavy but I like my Beefsteak 9 ft medium heavy much better will also handle anything you will catch in the surfThis rod is built just like the 12 ft heavy just shorter I can cast the 9 ft rod with more accuracy. Hope this helped happy fishing

The rod is 7 feet. Medium/heavy action, no complaints from me. Has held up to some aggressive fish, sensitive enough for the small fish and good length for a long cast.

this is a great rod for lure fishing or light to medium fishing, 1-3 kilo or upto 7 pounds are normal. heavier fish may require an amount of skill with this rod. This rod will not cast over surf or from a beach. but for a little tackle rod thats very small approx 18inches or 46cm i would recommend it. This rod has caught some decent little fighters on the Mediterranean for me so i like it.

Item model number: CZ-12CS That is what the add says. I caught a 55lb king on mine and many other fish. It is my favorite reel. It has a quick retrieve and a great drag and mine has not rusted like most of my other deep sea reels. I would buy another one.

the weight of the fly line needs to match the fly rod & it is based on the weight of the lures you intend to use, otherwise it won't cast properly. check your rod, it is listed somewhere close to the butt end. a no.6 weight is good all round for trout & smaller bass or panfish. salman or large bass may require a heavier #7 or #8 rod/line combo. i am no expert but this should be enuf to get you started. maybe you could pick up a book or video to help?

The model number you listed is correct, and Eagle Claw does indeed list this item as a 3/4 wt rod. However, after fishing the rod and trying out different weight lines, I was convinced this is in no way a 3 wt. I emailed the manufacturer, and asked them about it. They informed me that it would fish and cast better a little over lined, coming just short of an admission of a misprint on the rod. I can forward you the email response I got from them if you would like. I would call this a 4/5 wt rod and Wright McGill pretty much agreed. But this is all a little moot since I see Amazon is no longer offering this particular rod. Anyway, hope this helped.

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 have a two piece 9 ft Ugly Stick. But the most I would put on is 3 oz..I feel 5 oz of led may be a bit too much for the 10 ft rod
