what is the action on these rods? I am looking for a medium heavy power, fast action rod.

The 210 cm one (about 7ft) has 30 to 50 g action (1 to 1 and 3/4oz) when you speak of lure weight. The 300 cm (10 ft) one has 80 to 120 g action (2 1/2 to 4 oz) using the same measure. I hope this helps.

yes these rods do have heavy actions. on the 11 foot surf rod i caught a 45 pound red drum with ease. just remember the small rods are one piece and dont break down into two pieces like the big ones do

I use the Cedros 40clf on mine. I have put a 50 on it too. The 40 manages good sized Redfish, Stripers up to 39" and small Mahi Mahi, Lesser Amberjacks, Bonito, Albacore and Yellow Tail. I use food braid and dampen that with flurocarbon leader. Drag is the issue and line test that will not over stress the rods test weight. I believe you will be happy with the combinations.

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.

Def. for inshore fishing. I woikd say of with a medium fast rod instead of the medium powerful for this reel.

Not familiar with that rod...but I know the reels work great so far...but any good 30-50 would work good...I personally like the all roller rods...I bought the davis 30-50

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...

I have the spinning rod, use it with a 4000 sustain for light salt water. Great rod for the size.

The model number you listed is correct, and Eagle Claw does indeed list this item as a 3/4 wt rod. However, after fishing the rod and trying out different weight lines, I was convinced this is in no way a 3 wt. I emailed the manufacturer, and asked them about it. They informed me that it would fish and cast better a little over lined, coming just short of an admission of a misprint on the rod. I can forward you the email response I got from them if you would like. I would call this a 4/5 wt rod and Wright McGill pretty much agreed. But this is all a little moot since I see Amazon is no longer offering this particular rod. Anyway, hope this helped.

Max RPM? Be interesting just to know what you're going to be doin' with this item. I can say the bearings are top-notch, smooth, and dependable for items up to the listed 1000#'s ... though I've never put anything heavier than a 5 to 600# load on 'em.

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

No, it is too light of a rod. Offshore trolling requires a rod with more backbone. Need a heavy action, possibly down rigger style.

I wouldn't recommend it. The rollers are fairly narrow, so you may want to tend towards something with eyes. Don't get me wrong, it is a great rod and has served me well thus far, but it is more geared toward trolling or deep-dropping.

This great reel comes in three sizes. From the smallest 1000 to 2500 to the largest a 4000. The Quick Fire II trigger system is great for one-handed casts. It has a Lightweight graphite frame, sideplate and rotor and other great features. I really like the smooth smooth action and rear drag. I am not an expert, but I would check out the small 1000 at a dealer so you can make your own decision. I have the 2500 and 4000 reels and love them.

The 65 or 50 should work for you ,90 might be a little bit too heavy for your rod

i have never used that rod so i would not have any feedback for you. a sturdy lightweight rod with a sensitive tip should be fine.

I own this rod and wouldn't recommend it for either salmon or steelhead. The rod has a very slow action, meaning it's good for a beginner learning how to cast dry flies but isn't rigid enough to cast large/heavy flies long distances. I bought heavier line and this rod still cannot cast streamers effectively. If you're going to be nymphing at close range for kings and steelhead maybe this rod could work, but I'd get a fast action or at least a medium action if you're looking for more versatility. Personally I'd go with a switch (two-handed) rod so you can cast farther with less effort and get better drifts. Check out youtube for videos on salmon and steelhead fly fishing gear; there's a ton of information out there. Not for nothing, Wild Water makes a switch rod, too. If you buy it, post a review as I'm in the market for a switch rod myself.
