I use the 20lb test, moss green on my Abu Garcia Blackmax baitcasting reel. Had no issues whatsoever with the line, even when fishing in some thick hydrilla. Pulled bass right out and have yet to break or fray the line. I'd recommend giving it a shot.

It's a fly rod! Nice little small stream rod or even a boat rod. I really like the soft action. requires a longer stroke the the 'FAST" rods but it's smooth. Thinking about looking for a 3/4 wt

i would not know. we put the backing on, put the flyline on and the leader and fly. we get to the water make two cast and the hold thing came apart in the water. pull what we could find out of the water put could not find all the parts. it would not stay together. i when to town to the fly shop, they said one word junk. i had to buy another one. i would not tell my friends to buy this.

As far as I can tell, it looks like the same set. 5/6 w rod, 6 wf line, concept 2 reel and same books. maybe the fly's are different.

The rod is MH w/fast action... I use it a lot and its a good combo... I actually have the Sargus on a 7ft BPS Carbon Black rod that is a far better setup... This Battle Reel is lose/makes noise... The bail doesn't always close completely... It shouldn't be that way.... I've considered the option of returning to exchange, but I use it still ea. week! I don't think the battle combo I received is a true match. The reel spool is so wide for this rod, that the line PwrPro 20lb braid... Slaps the first eye to much and has created some interesting knots where the line wraps the rod on occasion and is so tight I have to cut and retie. If I were to buy the battle in a combo next time, ill do it live and in my hands... It was just a great deal and can't complain.... I've caught 20lb red, 8 lb bass... And big trout... It's still a solid reel/rod combo... But I'd get individual items and match to a good rod. My .02 cents

I use 6 Lb test for trout and bass. Seems to work well, have had no issues with knotting or tangling. Love the reel very smooth and fast.

I have had 1 fletch come off as a result of a pass through. I shot a dozen bolts all summer with no issues. It is a non-issue on my opinion.

Haven' had problems with flies, but my last box was terrible. All short clippings which look like they went through a shredder. I did contact the company who responded initially. They asked for pictures, which I sent them, and I never heard back from them again. Sad because I loved the first box I received. I'm hoping they improve so I can go back to ordering from them but I've read too many bad reviews recently.

I use 20lbs power pro braided line, reel works fine and line isn't to heavy, casts far and come back quickly...

It depends a lot on what kind of flies that u intend to use and your target fish. For a beginner, u can look at the SA species fly line for a start.

10,000 pound test...but only a few feet of it. Apparently you are unfamiliar with hand lines. You can put any pound test line you choose. The larger pound test line the less number of feet the reel will hold. Ask yourself what size fish do I want to fight using a hand line. Then put a line that is 20% heavier. Besides, the hand line you are asking about comes with line, leader, swivels, hook and sinkers. What are you going to do, strip all that off and start over?

My experience is that you need the attractant. I like this product because it is much cleaner than other flytraps.

I put it away, but I think there's a little clip Daiwa puts on its reels to hold the line. If the line is jumping off the reel, perhaps you wound it backwards. There are instructive youtubes, in case this may be a possibility. It's easier to understand if you see it than if you listen or read it. Also, I put spiderwire on mine, which tends to be limp, narrow, and tough.

Yes the picture in incorrect. I just received the fly rod and it is a good value. The rod has a nice action and it is well made at a great price.

None - you shouldn't use that heavy of line in this lightweight reel.However, you could do what I do and use a braided line, which is much stronger than monofilament lines for the same diameter. I've got 6lb test Suffix braided line and it has a rated breaking strength of 20lbs, but the diameter of a typical 6lb test line (about the maximum diameter that should be used with this reel). The braided line costs 2-3x what a monofilament line would cost, but I figure it saved me much more than that in lost tackle, as I lost only two lures in a week's solid fishing and they both caught on the backside of heavy logs and frayed on the edge of the log.
