can you watch your bait move up and down when ice fishing with a jig and watch the strike

HI, We haven't tried that. We don't ice fish, we bought it as a depth sounder but I see no reason that that wouldn't work.

Didn"t get that far. wacked the cord with boat propeller. Depth and bottom structures looked great. Actually bought mine for a fishing tube. Should not have taken in boat. Too easy to forget it is overboard. You can put it in a baggie of water in your boat and see the depth while driving, though.

you can catch anything with this rod. Might be a little heavy for just trout.

As far as the down imaging portion, you will only see the air bladders , blotches on screen,of the fish but see structure very detailed. The graph will pick up the fish well. Pretty awesome product. I do a lot of crappie fishing. So I can identify structure and if there's fish on it. Priced reasonable also.

i do not fish for grouper but i have used this reel jigging for jumbo bluefish 12-18 lbs, spooled with 40 lb test, we use mostly diamond jigs with tubes but either casting them out or jigging straight up and down i was not more satisfied with this reel i love it, i have also used it on off shore wreck trips approximately 65 miles off shore in about 200 ft of water and it worked great, so for grouper i dont know but for the jigging that i use for it works great for me hope that helps

Yes, and today 4-13-14 I caught about a 4 lb. catfish, so much fun with such a small pole, I also put micro reels with 12 lb. test the very fine line. I bought 2 of them, the spinning rod is my favorite. Throw it in a backpack and go for it.

I bought a pole for each of my Grandsons. Yes, they both caught fish with this pole. I don't know how since they seem to enjoy casting the most and they didn't leave the line in the water very long.

It's an automatic feature. Don't fret the small stuff. Relax and just fish!

I would say it is a medium action but I am not an expert. I do not it does just fine catching fish. Have fun!

no but youtube is the best place to learn setup and tension setting. Make sure your state allows this kind of fishing. California doesn't and I found out after i received this. It is still a good product for the lazy fisherman!

No, you can't because it has a rechargeable battery. You just have to make sure that the unit is fully charged before you go fishing. It would also be helpful if you bring along some kind of charging device so you can recharge the unit when it starts to run low on power.

My son and I use it for shooting hockey pucks. As I stated in my review, I mistakenly purchased the backstop without the actual goal itself. Once I had both portions and connected them, the goal is very effective.

No, this is what you install under the trap to make it move and wobble. It really makes the practice times more like real hunting. Unless you stare at the trap. The trap itself just throws straight throws like a skeet machine, you move around it. The Wobbler makes it so you stand in one spot and it throws them all over.. I hope this helps..

Hi, Tony: I don't know, I have only owned one and and have used it a lot. Drag on any reel was a mystery to me until my savey fishing buddie, Harrold, shared with me the key after I lost my second good bass from broken line. He told me to tighten the drag until I could just barely pull line freely. His point, you can add drag after the fish is on, but you can't back off drag because you won't know when until the line has already broken! The red ten-pound line on the ZO3 is good stuff. Don't over do the drag and you won't be sorry. I don't use trebble hooks on the ZO3 because I use it primarily as a crappie rig. The 4.3 to one gear ratio won't easily allow strong, steady pressure on the line while reeling in, so you cannot let up when reeling in even a one pound crappie or it will throw the single hook. So, set your drag light enough to pull line by hand and keep the pressure on when reeling in and you'll eat fish tonight!

You can but the guides are kinda cheap so i would watch that area. After years of complaining about the cheap guides Shakespeare finally listened and introduced the Gx2 rods. However the ugly cat as far as i know (might wanna check) didnt get the new guides and other improvements. Rinse the rod out with freshwater as soon as you done. This rod doesnt have a lot of backbone so unless you fishing for smaller game i would go with something else.

I don't know. I have been using my unit for plotting different fishing spots.

It's designed to tie to your line and cast it out, buttttttt it has not worked past about 10 feet out for me and when I'm fishing with a bobber like this I cast out quite a ways, I have been using it with my small aluminum boat and it works fine.
