How wide is the whole for the rod? I plan on using for 4/6 0 reels and the rods are pretty stout.

these rod racks are junk. plastic is thin and brittle. cabelas cost more but will do the job.they were broken after the first trip.

I returned the unit because the reel wouldn't fit all the way into the slide area. It was a standard reel not a big one.

GH- I use a Wright and McGill "Magnum Plug" 10' 6", Medium Fast Action + Heavy Power for trolling and mooching Chinook, sliver and humpy salmon. I've even jigged for ling cod but it's not as efficient as a shorter, stouter glass rod. I'm able to back bounce for steelhead as well. However, it can be alot of pole length on a busy drift boat so I borrowed my sons Okuma Blu Diamond BD-C-762MLa 7' 6" and it proved challenging with a fish on in big volume water. I'm happy with the trade-off of having one rod for multiple uses as opposed to multiple rods. Both of my boys just started salmon fishing so I like the economy of these rods, hopefully they will be durable as well. Hope this info helps-ML

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.

I have not used this rod very much since I bought it - it's been winter down here in New Zealand. However, I use it in combination with an Abu Garcia Revo Toro NaCl overhead reel, with braid, and am casting lures like the Shimano Waxwing 7/8 oz good distances. I haven't tried anything much heavier at this point.

My widest fishing pole is 5/8" diameter where it snaps into the holder. It looks like the spring loaded plastic retainer clips will only expand to accommodate about a 7/8" diameter rod and still lock it in. 1 inch might be a stretch.

The rod is exactly 6.5" You won't be disappointed.Very well made. Hope this helps.

I'm using one on a 5/6 weight rod that I've set up for trolling flies. I never cast with it, so the heavier line isn't a problem. A heavier rod would increase the chance of breaking a light tippet on a strike.

Rod is very limber. I'd say ml. Good trolling rod for lakes and I use mine for channel cat fishing reel holds 500 yds of 20 lb I think . Its a big reel.

Its an awesome reel to use, I have 6kg on the reel and use it when trolling for Albacore tuna .

You can put it on almost any rod, they're kinda universal. It is a 4/5 wt reel, that's what its designed for. Sometimes I put it on my 6 wt rod, but mostly on a 4 weight.

I am not home right now, but I can check later. I don't know if there is a way to attach a picture, but I have one of how the rod sits in the holder. Mine sits with about 4 inches sticking out before the base of the my open reel. I do not have a pistol grip on my rod so I am not sure how it will sit. Even though my reel sticks out quite a bit sometimes it sits kind of awkward if I am not careful about how I set it in, this could just be because of the angle I set it in in my kayak...sometimes the rod spins and the reel hits the side of my kayak. Over all I am happy with the holder and may even buy another one to hold a second rod.

It likely does not fit a rod and reel. I bought a reel case that holds 6 reels and this holds 5-6 rods that go in two parts or likely close to 10 one piece rods.

I ordered the 6'6" one (BWSJL220066) and the guides on it are for spinning reels. Also see this link: http://www.shakespeare-fishing.com/Ugly-Stik%C2%AE-Tiger%E2%84%A2-Jigging-Rod/1292170,default,pd.html#prefn1=ZZRLN&prefv1;=6%2525273%252522&start;=1

I would NOT recommend this set up for that size fish! I had my hands full with fish under 5 pounds!See my review on this combo for information on the reel. The rod is great, but I would buy a stiffer one for 40 to 100 pounders. PS--where do you fish? I wanna go there! -Edog1955

I doubt that it would handle 1/4 inch rods. We have only burned 1/8 so far, but it may handle 3/16. I got it for my don for Christmas, we both love using it
