I have an Okuma Rox 6-12lb and another Rox 6-15lb. Weight limit for both is 3/4oz. I usually like going the Carolina rig setup and leave around 18-22 inches for my leader line and I use either size 1, 2, or 1/0, 2/0. I live in SoCal if this helps. I usually use nightcrawlers, chicken dipped in cool aid, or shrimp. My pole is 6'6 and is medium action. Is this an okay rod for a beginner like me for catfish? I fish from the shore and in lakes.

So am I looking mostly for rods with a good lb test like like between 6 and 20 for trout/bass? I'm not doing any big game catfishing so as long as I catch things below 20lb aren't rods like the ROX good for all three? Or am I missing something?

Ah okay, that makes sense. Thank you. So will this rod also work for trout/catfish or which Okuma rod would I look for (if one even exists) for the purpose of catfish/trout/bass?

Hello everyone. I have an Okuma Rox 6-12 lb test and up to 1/2 oz for weight. I love Okuma and Shakespeare brands. I was wondering if my rod will do me fine for bass fishing? It is a spinning rod and I have a drop shot attached to it. I had a carolina but people said that wasn't good for bass. Never bass fished before so sorry for these questions if they sound dumb.
