Needed some new flathead catfish rods. I dont like bait casters for catfishing and love the bait runners. Onsale the rod is pretty much free. Would make a nice striper setup aswell. Will be buying more

Just got this today on time delivery and everything arrived in working order. Put it all together and the reel feels great nice and smooth. The rod action feels good also can't wait to get to the beach and test this thing out. I am going to follow up with a review once I get a fish on the end of this rod

Awesome deal for this combo
November 30, 2019
Pretty much getting the rod for free. Reel is butter smooth. Rod we shall see after the first run at the surf. But overall looks good. Reminds me of the okuma series of rod or the bass pro brand off shore surf rods.
Pros
  • Good deal

Great into-intermediate setup
May 13, 2019
This combo will give you the casting distance required to reach fish breaking way out there, but also has the awesome bait runner feature. This means you can fish with plugs and bait with no change in gear necessary.

This is my 2nd bait runner both paired with 10ft Tsunami Air waves! The best real on the market for chunking bunker for stripers and bluefish!

Great surfcasting setup for the money
July 22, 2018
Reel casts a mile and looks and feels more expensive than it is. Rod isn't very sensitive but it's cheap so thats expected, but it's real strong considering the price. Has no problem launching large plugs for striped bass. I noticed nobody else complained of this but the rubber grips on the rod reek like a tire factory. I wash my hands multiple times when I'm done but still reek like pepboys. The smell gets on everything. Hopefully it'll fade in time
Pros
  • Great rod and reel for the money
Cons
  • The rod is cheap so that worrys me a little if I hook up to a large blue or striper but it feels strong so hopefully it is. The grips reeking like a rubber factory is the biggest downside of the rod. It's insane how strong the smell is

Can you set up a rig or two for a newbie to Surf cast off Hatteras if so how do I get a hold  of you
1 Answer
Todd,

Here are some terminal tackle sku's that should get you started fishing the Hatteras / Outer Banks: eag-0416-1, eag-0416-2, ssr-0246, sin-0095 and sin-0096. These are some pre-packed circle hooks, frog tongue sinkers, and some sinker slides. However, keep in mind that the rod that you are interested in only has a max casting weight of about 4oz.   So if you want to use it make sure you sinkers are only up to 4oz max. TackleDirect can be reached @ 1.888.354.7335 to talk to customer service rep.  Please let us know if there is anything else we can assist you with. Tight Lines

Drag max Overall length when broken down for airline travel Can combo be used in boat rod holder
1 Answer
Unfortunately, we do not have this combo in stock to measure. The max drag is 20#. It is a surf combo, so it is not really designed for boat use. It is too long.
