is this rod medium heavy action or what?

Heavy action. I have a 7ft and a 10 footer. Using 6oz sinker on both 40 + yard cast no problem.

More on the heavy side than medium. Easy to sling a 5 oz weight past a sand bar

Pretty sure its heavy action. nice quality for a "cheap" rod. I use the 10 foot rod to shore fish for striper and i can throw out a 5ox weight about 70-80 yards.

Mine seems pretty light actually. I caught a 10lb redfish with a 3 oz pyramid on and it was about folded in half with little muscle put into pulling it in. I didn't want to put much more into it because it felt like the rod was going to snap.My Penn 8 footer which is med/heavy is much more rigid than this, which I like, because there's nothing worse than losing a fish in the surf because the poles not stiff enough to pull them in out of the backwash.

If you are targeting heavier fish its a great rod. I fish mine with a senator 4/0 and it does great. It does not have much play in the tip, so for fish on the lower end it is a little stiff.

Based on flex, I'd say medium. But for durability and fish size you'd safely be able to reel in before it breaks I'd say light.

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

I agree with Rodney, it should be fine on that rod. I also have it on a heavier rod.

Yes. Its a good rod. It is a little heavy for continuous casting, but it has held up well.

Not OK yo use as a light surf rod, this is more of a Medium freshwater rod. I would not throw more than 1/2 oz lure.

It is a fly rod. This is one of the first fly rods I bought since I resumed my interest in fly fishing. I bought a few other rods, mostly graphite, since then, but this is the one I almost always use. Being a fiberglass/composite it initially will seem a bit stiff. However, once you time your wrist action correctly, you will be amazed at how much energy that rod will store and release. Being 7 feet long, it's great for places where there is foliage overhead.

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.

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

Yes this is a 6ft 6in fly rod. It is labeled as a 3/4wt rod. I was able to cast it with a 3,4,and 5wt line. I found the 4wt to be just right for my style of casting. 3wt was light. 5 was a tad heavy. It's a great rod for the money. Tons of fun to fish with!

I don't see a problem but okiaya also has 30-80 rod, the same size but stiffer. The choice would really be determined by the targeted fish. If you are going for huge makos, marlin or big tuna I would use the 30-80 but for fish under 120 # I like the 30-50.

I've used this rod a good amount now. It will serve you very well, but also keep in mind that it is a heavier rod and tends to not load as well. But it can handle alot and is a very solid rod, especially for the price.

It is made for a medium to heavy duty reel. is this what you were wanting to know?

Assuming that you have a medium weight rod, you'd want to have line weight of 8-17lbs. Medium Heavy = 10-20lbs.

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

Picture was a spinning rod. Twice they sent me casting rods...super light action. Good luck.
