Great value, easy to learn, well made. If its your first rod or only fish every now and then, I would say it will suit you.

Not worth the price, for that money you can get a better rod and reel from cabelas or reddington. This is more for a child. I bougth it because i didnt knew much about fly fishing. This is more like a toy rod an reel.

Pretty decent rod overall, and it has enough power to cast a 300 grain shooting head line in the Southern Califorina surf which is where I use it exclusively. Great full Welles cork grip and fighting butt too.

The description reads 7', that means seven feet, same as 7 x 12 inches. If it is a factory combo it should come the the Penn Battle 7' rod. Great all around combo. Highly recommended!

I've had this rod for about 4 seasons now. It is a work horse; its rated for 2 oz but can double it up to 4 oz.

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.

You are playing with fire to try and change this item. It is sturdy as is, but the rods appear firmly fixed if not welded. Keep looking for the size you need it will be a better bet.

Pretty sure its heavy action. nice quality for a "cheap" rod. I use the 10 foot rod to shore fish for striper and i can throw out a 5ox weight about 70-80 yards.

6'7 is pushing it I'm 5'11 and about 260lbs and I found it to be quite restrictive but good for a few of the bushcrafting type of outtings I've done, the vesti is a bit smaller than it looks in the picture due to the front of the tent not being flat but slanted like the vestible. There are a couple videos on youtube that show this better... Great price but limited by size. I had a issue with the smaller tent pole on both of mine, It seems to be a few inches too long which stresses the tent/fly some.. but easy fix by adding zip ties or something.. the color is a bit weird. silver looks like a blimp, which is was a different color. but it's so small you can't beat it for a super lightweight option to sleep out... again, I'm not sure about your hight???? I don't remember, i know I had a good amount of room but not sure how much???? Sorry

Edmund Y.,The Daiwa Beefstick Surf rod was a "stand" alone" purchase and a Good buy for the price. My purpose for the purchase was to match it with a previous purchase of the "Daiwa REGAL 5000BRI Bait Runner. No problem with this Combo. Hello Catfish!! The Blue Braid, needed something new. (Give a man a fish, he can eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will go broke always buying more gear). U Know (smile)

although amazon sent me a scratched one (and quickly replaced it), i am a big fan of these okuma's. well made and a good price. i have 3 different sizes. the 4/5 one is probably the best "average" sized one. btw, okuma makes rods that are a good deal too. i ordered one from walmart.com.

its a great little rod but it probably couldn't take anything heavier than 6 pounds and its a little stiff but a great value, fun rod. i bought the smallest version.

6'This rod is amazing!! I fish bass tournaments and I wanted a compact rod for fishing lakes on golf courses and this rod is tough!! 35 lb braid and you can set the hook hard. I had bought a few other similar rods and they all broke on the hook set. Buy 2 cause you will be extremely happy with this one!! May be a little stiff if you are fishing for trout. Hope this was helpful :-)Jesse

For the salmon we troll around are area they are relatively small like 24lbs being very good size anymore. But i think if u step up to maybe the med/hvy, or med u should be ok. Great rod! Been using for a couple years now.

Roughly 16" long by 8" tall and 4" deep. On a side note, however, I would look at a different setup. I tried learning on this rod and it was incredibly difficult to cast. Go to Orvis and look at their Encounter setup. Only $150 and an exponentially better introductory setup.

Hey bro, the rod is 12', meaning it is only 2 pieces, each section is pretty close to same length, within inches. It is an awesome rod. I have 2 of them and use them alot. They are not real stiff, great catfish rods.

If Wal-Mart does not carry them in store, order one on line and pickup at store. Orders of $50.00 or more shop free. I've got my Omega's mounted on Berkley 6ft & 6.6 ft HD Cherry Stick rods and it's been a good combo

I agree with David K. That at 10 ft or more this rod is built for casting in the surf and is great at that. Although it might be okay, I think a trolling rod should be shorter with stiffer action, but definitely not a Pros or vastly experienced persons opinion

I'm not sure what it is rated, but it's def a light action rod. I love mine, perfect to pack into a bag and take anywhere there are fish!
