is the mesh small enough to catch fresh water minnows?

For small fresh water minnows you'd probably be better off with 1/4" mesh. 3/8 works well for shrimp and mud minnows. Hope this helps.

No the opening is to small for big panfish but you could catch small panfish like 1or 3 inch panfish

It is a small rang. I don't know where mine is right now but the radius couldn't be more than 5-6 inches. Works great but very hard (sometimes painful)to catch due to hard plastic.

The holes are quite small but not mesh. I wanted mine to skim off bugs etc. from the surface of my pool. They were too big for that but tadpoles, small fish and if I'm not mistaken craw dads would work well. Nice and sturdy too until my dog chewed the net off the frame:(

Hello, yes it appears to be so! The mesh is very fine and it allows good water circulation, but traps all of the bits quite well.

Yes. Make sure the sensor is pointed low enough to "see" the smaller critters.

Yes, it should work fine for that. I use mine for trout fishing. Have had it for about 6 mo. Seems to be very durable. The only complaint I have is sometimes one of the joints will stick a be a little hard to push in.

The guy who I learned about these from uses them for when he goes fly fishing for trout. It works fine for northern, walleye and smaller fish.

I wouldn't recommend anything bigger than 1/0. I haven't fished trout in a while though. these hooks do run a bit small though.

The only issue I can see is that the pvc pipe is straight but you may be able to make your own which should work. I have fished with minnows for years and as many fishers can state they die fairly quick. I use this in a 50 gallon cooler in my jon boat and the minnows survive the entire day plus I put my catch in there as well and I can easily keep 4 large bass alive for 5 hours (the time I head in), needless to say since I've owned this I have had a few dead minnows (sucked into the pump) and never lost a catch so by far its amazing for what I use it for.

sure. It is a pliers in the front with a split ring grasping jaws makes it easy to put the big snagging trebles on the lures we use. Just kidding. We only use single hooks without a barb. Real sports.

I'm sure it will work fine for freshwater. Not too many freshwater species that will require this big of reel.

Yes the mesh is small enough to keep birds out. We've had this in our back yard for over a year and never had any issues.

I have an approximately silver dollar sized red-eared slider that eats only the smallest of crickets and I have yet to see one escape. This mesh should be fine.

Depending on the size of the reel, yes. I use 6-8 test line and a Skeet Reese finesse tube rod for trout.

Yes, it works quite well. Make sure you get the right size for your fish tank.
