What kind of fish can I catch with this rod?

Trout, pan fish and about anything else that will take a fly. I've caught up to 10 pound triploid trout so far! I personally like this rod.

All kinds of fish that will bite a lure. I use it in ponds and rivers and catch bass, bream, crappie, and if I downsize my hook I can catch minnows to use as bait on a traditional outfit.

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

I have this rod and have caught everything from large panfish (bream, crappie) to small bass. I have also caught both fresh and saltwater trout. It all depends on what size leader and tippet you use and how much you are willing to finesse a big fish.

You can but the guides are kinda cheap so i would watch that area. After years of complaining about the cheap guides Shakespeare finally listened and introduced the Gx2 rods. However the ugly cat as far as i know (might wanna check) didnt get the new guides and other improvements. Rinse the rod out with freshwater as soon as you done. This rod doesnt have a lot of backbone so unless you fishing for smaller game i would go with something else.

Should be no problem. These are heavy duty spinning rods. I can also cast sardines with no weight on 40lb test! Not real far, but far enough to be effective. I've caught mostly Pargo and Dorado with mine.

I use the Cedros 40clf on mine. I have put a 50 on it too. The 40 manages good sized Redfish, Stripers up to 39" and small Mahi Mahi, Lesser Amberjacks, Bonito, Albacore and Yellow Tail. I use food braid and dampen that with flurocarbon leader. Drag is the issue and line test that will not over stress the rods test weight. I believe you will be happy with the combinations.

I think its a 5 weight rod , I have caught 16"and 18" Trout ,I don't think I would like to catch anything much larger on this rod, I have caught larger but not to often, if I was going surf fishing I think I would want a little larger rod like a 8 or 9 weight , then again it would depend on what was running . Hope this helps.

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

I use an Ugly Stick BWB1130 pole. It offers excellent strength but is flexible enough to easily feel bites while deep sea fishing.

If you are targeting heavier fish its a great rod. I fish mine with a senator 4/0 and it does great. It does not have much play in the tip, so for fish on the lower end it is a little stiff.

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

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.

This rod is ultra light. It can use under 6lbs line, 1/4 oz lure. As I remember...

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

it comes with 20lb test line but if you use a composite line 30 lb test would be fine . the rod is medoum action so it should handle up to a 40 or 50 lb fish.

I'm sorry, Lisa, I use my reel to catch 2-3 lb surf perch. I know they could handle a salmon, but don't know about bluefish. Good luck on your quest and catch a bunch!

It's saltwater grade rod up to 20 pound fish or better if you finesse them. Lots folks on pier I visited had them so I bought one, the locals liked the quality and price.

This rod is for inshore salt water application. I have it matched with daiwa 300 low profile reel for bottom fishing at Caribbean when we had no luck for trolling for marlin. Quite good for grouper. It is too heavy for bass fishing, I believe.

I currently have a spinning reel attached to this rod. Although I have not yet tried it out, I do believe you could use a casting reel. The rod is primarily meant for deep sea fishing using trolling reels.
