This rod is pretty light weight for trolling. It's a nice rod. But I thought it was going to a little stiffer.

Yes it's a trolling rod. I use it on inland lakes so it will handle anything short of a sturgon.

I see some confused answers, so I offer: A trolling motor that can run on less than 10 amps (or a 12v 40 pound thrust or less operated most of the time in mid-range, not full "throttle") should get at least 3 hours of trolling out of this battery... that is my interest in this battery.

The transducer that comes with the unit should be okay to us on a trolling motor. You will need a mount for a trolling motor, though.

It's a noodle tip trolling rod with a stiff lower/mid section (I have landed 30lb chinook salmon multiple times with our duo of rods). IMHO there are better rods out there for your application but you might like it...

This is a Fresh Water trolling motor. You can go to www.minnkotamotors.com for more information and see all the different trolling motors they have.

It's designed to easily handle a trolling motor and trust Me it works great! Since the Sun Dolphin is so light a trolling motor pushes it around just find. Anything more would really be to much for it, not saying it wouldn't work, just saying there simply is no need to go with an out board motor when the trolling motor does the job right! An outboard motor might just get you and the little Dolphin into danger so if you do try it please do yourself a favor and do so with extreme caution!!!

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.

Yes for trolling it's the level wind. Get a penn 320GT Same weight and dimensions as the Jig aster with a level.

Hi,Yes it should work fine with a trolling motor, HINT; Get a 7AH solar charger to lay next to it so you can extend the trolling time.Then you can plug it in for a good full charge.Very sturdy, very strong, 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

its a bigwater ugly-stick like a normal ugly-stick on steroids its rated for 15 to 30 lbs its strong but has flex great for big baits for catfish and musky i own 4 great rod for big fish .

Yea I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use a low profile baitcaster on it or for saltwater, if anything I would use it in the bays going for spotted bay bass or calicos, I wouldn't bring it on a half day boat tho. t's on the heavy side of medium compared to other medium power rods I have and had in the past. fast action to extra fast I would say. I hope this helps

I think it is too heavy for crappie fishing. Go with a medium or medium light pole for that.

Yes, and today 4-13-14 I caught about a 4 lb. catfish, so much fun with such a small pole, I also put micro reels with 12 lb. test the very fine line. I bought 2 of them, the spinning rod is my favorite. Throw it in a backpack and go for it.

Depending on the line wieght and tackle you use you should be able to land a fish up to 30lbs or more however that will be quite a accomplishment. No doubt if you keep trying you will land the big one so good luck and happy fishing.

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

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.
