Yes. It will work very well. I have four Okuma Cascade reel that I use in my salmon charter business. We run shooting line and throw wet flies.

I cant say for sure it will work great on a 10weight. But I build custom rods and put this reel on all the 8 weight lamiglass I build as a budget option and my customers have all been very happy. Just make sure your using good line and you should be all set.

You bet. I use this reel on my 8 wt salmon fly rod and its great for salmon up to 15 # in heavy current. Idid find the smaller Okuma not adequate for 30# plus king salmon in heavy current. I did not get to test this larger reel on these big kings but think it might be up to the challenge. Since reels suitable can easily cost $300 plus. This reel is a bargain.

Yes I have mine on a 10'6'' switch rod with 9wt holds lots of backing and works great landed an 18 lb. Steelhead caught last week on the Rogue River. Don, Southern Oregon.

Yes it will work on a 10 wt. but..... I had one on a 9 wt. rod with a DTF 9 wt. line with 75 yds. of 30 lb dacron backing and the reel was to full to function properly. I switched to using only 25 yds. of the 30 lb. backing and I no longer had issues. I am planning on switching the backing to 50 yds. of 20 lb. because at 25 yds. of backing I almost spooled out on a steelhead recently. Besides, 30 lb. line is overkill.

I don't see why not. It's a nice reel for the money. I've got mine on a Sage 8 wt rod.

If your rod has a standard attachment, the same as most fly rods, I see no reason why it would not fit. I only fish 8 wt, bit it has plenty big enough for 10 wt.

Yes, you can use it on a 5 or 5 1/2 ft. light action rod. I have mine a 5 ft. Shakespeare Ugly Stick. Make sure that the reel seat has adequate space to accomodate the reel.One of my light action rods did not have enought clearance, so the reel kept slipping off.

It could, but not attached to the poles unless they were low profile bait casting reels. This would also limit the amount of pole space.

I have the 7 ft and haven't used it for anything close to that big. My guess would be if your reel is up to the task I think the pole would work for thst

You can but the guides are kinda cheap so i would watch that area. After years of complaining about the cheap guides Shakespeare finally listened and introduced the Gx2 rods. However the ugly cat as far as i know (might wanna check) didnt get the new guides and other improvements. Rinse the rod out with freshwater as soon as you done. This rod doesnt have a lot of backbone so unless you fishing for smaller game i would go with something else.

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 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.

As long as you already have the pole for the reel it will work. I have the same size cover and bought the same reel system but already had the pole because it doesn't come with

I don't know but I would doubt it. It's more a beginner's set-up. I am not in tune with the finer nuances of fly fishing which would require swapping out spools. That would come w/ more experience and premium equipment IMHO.

It's a trolling rod not a casting rod. Now could you put a casting reel on it and make it work slim or not at all

After owning this reel for onr year now, I got hink it would be a very suitable reel for.that rod. And.the drag system is excelent. Espciaally when dealing with salmon or trout.

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.

I rather find a reel for this rod. The rod is $ 200 and reel 30 bucks. Thanks guys, I apprec your help, but it was just a test. I knew the answer. I'm done with ugly sticks. They were good 30 years ago. Can't wait for warmer weather. Lol.

Yes. This is just a rod. Any rod will need a seperate reel purchased unless you buy a combo.

I currently have a spinning reel attached to this rod. Although I have not yet tried it out, I do believe you could use a casting reel. The rod is primarily meant for deep sea fishing using trolling reels.
1774913
Yes, but no need for an expensive one. Just make sure it's a 4wt reel and line.

Yes as long as you have the proper adapter. Some units come equipped with a limitation of the number of rods you can add on. As I do not know what kind of unit you have, I can't give you anymore information. If you can send me a photo and the unit model perhaps I can help you. I also have a couple of spare rod adapters cheap if you need one. Thanks Juan
