Moto Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Would anyone recommend a demon dock rod (and reel)? Quote
bish0p Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 I have a Demon Dock. Nice little rod for panfish and small trout. I paired it with a 1000 size reel. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 27, 2018 Global Moderator Posted August 27, 2018 I bought one for my son for his first rod and reel, the spinning version. The rod is dang near unbreakable, which is exactly what I was looking for when buying a rod for a 2 year old, (that and cheap). The reel was pretty decent really. I used it for playing with our Golden Retriever during the winter too much and wore it out and now it has a 20 size President on it instead. Quote
Moto Posted August 27, 2018 Author Posted August 27, 2018 Would you know how well it works with bass and stocked trout? 19 minutes ago, Bluebasser86 said: I bought one for my son for his first rod and reel, the spinning version.

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted August 27, 2018 Global Moderator Posted August 27, 2018 I landed a 4lb catfish on it without any problems. It's handled me hauling as hard as the 4lb test will let me with our 75lb dog on the other end. I wouldn't want to use it as a regular use rod because it's awkward with it being so short, but it would work in a pinch. Quote
