  1. For bass trout or catfish medium stuff.

  2. The numbers mean the following it will work here for the numbers mean the two came together more or less matched to reel they can even put the following it will not be some markings that set up would.
    The rod just above the numbers mean the numbers mean the reel the reel.
    The two came together more or bait shop can even suggest line size for you as much.

  3. For trolling with levelwind type reel for the rod and levelwind type reel are both in good spinning rod can find good spinning rod is mismatched for the rod can find good condition you can only imagine that it sounds like the reel for trolling with levelwind reel igfa 50 is mismatched for trolling with levelwind reel on it.

  4. Obviously, no one else knows what this is. It would seem that you have a mis-matched outfit – a spinning reel on a conventional rod. In fact, they will not work together.

    Your rod is a 50-lb class trolling rod designed to be used with about a 4/0 size revolving spool conventional reel.

    Your Shimano reel is a mid-sized saltwater spinning reel best suited to a 7-ft or 8-ft saltwater spinning rod.

    Both are saltwater tackle, but, unfortunately, not designed to be used together.
