I have been looking at this rod for awhile but I just don't know that much about it. Can anyone tell me anything about it pro's and cons?any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you



Inner Cast Spinning Rods
Cabela's Inner Cast™ rods reduce many of the common problems associated with traditional-style rods. Because the line runs through the center of our IM-7 graphite Inner Cast™ blanks, we were able to eliminate rod guides for more line contact points and super sensitivity. These rods have fewer flat spots caused by rigid guide feet, and no line-slap or tip tangles for greater castability. Smooth, titanium entry guides and tips handle the toughest super braids and reduce line friction for unbeatable casting performance. Each model comes complete with line threader.

I to thought they were cool till I bought one and gave it a lengthy try. I was never able to get it to cast well. It's sitting up it the rafters with the other retired poles.

Shasta Tackle has been making an innerline rod for quite a while now. They are not made for casting. They are a trolling rod that are AWESOME for downrigging. They are fun to fight fish on and have excellent strength and play. I don't know anything about these rods at Cabelas but Shasta's rods I have used a lot and they are excellent.

Before purchasing mine from Cabela's I asked if they were suitable for these lines, and I was told that they would not harm them. I haven't used mine enough to know yet whether or not that is a true statement.

Thanks for your help guys I will have to keep looking up stuff on it I just don't know if I want it or not thanks again.

Now I'am curious how do you feed the line threw this kind of pole. And is it very difficult.

Sportsman's Warehouse in Provo has one in stock and I read on the label that it is a trolling rod, kinda like what Fishluvr said. I would think the way the line vibrates when it comes off the spool would rub the inner walls (the ad calls it 'line-slap'), thus reducing your casting distance.

I've got three of Daiwa's innerline trolling rods, and one casting rod. I really like the trolling rods. The comment about the line slap is exactly the opposite of what happens. Because the line is kept inside the rod, it can't open up into coils. It has to stay straight. It is when it loops out away from the rod that it slaps back going through the guides. The reason that I didn't say that I really like the casting rod is because I haven't had a lot of opportunity to use it. I took one with me last year to Santa Cruz for a little surf fishing. Well it broke after a couple of hours of use. Daiwa replaced it without batting an eye, but it was too late for that trip.

I don't know about the other poles but I know the Shasta poles, and I would imagine the others are the same, come with a short amount of fine steel cable that you feed through the pole and tie your line to to bring it back through. It's easy. When you put a bait caster on these poles it help a lot with reducing line twist that I always seem to fight with.

If you plan on fishing during cold weather (sub-freezing) these rods do not work worth a hoot. I used lead core line with one I had (sold the rod since I hated it) and the moisture from the line accumulates inside the rod when you reel in the line and the two eyelets froze shut and difficult to deice. Maybe when trolling in wamer temps the rods might work well, but forget about it with December and January trips on Bear Lake!

[font "Arial Black"][red][size 3] I have often wondered about these fishing poles. The idea was good but now I that I know the Pros and Cons with them. I think that I will steer clear.[/size][/red][/font]
