Can the reel be removed and replaced with another one as my grandson grows in his fishing abilities?

Hi,Yes you are able to unwind the spoon and replace it with a new fishing line (which I would recommend unless you like dealing with tangled line after a few caught fish) or replace the entire reel and keep the same fishing pole. My 5 year old daughter cough 4 trouts last weekend and enjoy the easy cast system.

I think there are 3. Sizes if the Reel. The smallest model should be the right one for fishing crappies. .

Yes, no problem with that. The reel seat is similar to any other spinning rod as that the reels can be removed. The rod is telescopic. One thing though, this does not come with a case. There are others that do but they are multiple piece rods.

No,the string just hangs out of the end. The "reel" is solid molded plastic.

Well, basically all reels have problems with sand or any particles, with the exception of the more expensive reels which have gaskets, special seals, etc.(they still have to be cleaned once in a while)but a majority of reels must be serviced or cleaned when they come into contact with sand, or dirt. This reel will still be affected by sand, but the way this reel is made, it can be easily taken apart, cleaned, and put back together. As for your other reel, that can also be cleaned(unless the sand caused any major internal damage to the reel)

I haven't actually done it, but I'm sure it would be a simple matter to remove the reel. But in doing so, you would probably be removing the hose connector as well. Also, the bottom is basically open with a molded-in bracket for the reel. Personally, if I didn't need a reel I would just look for a nice hose pot.

I'm at that stage too, after about 4 years. There seems to be a lot of play on the reel on the gear side. I'm a mechanical engineer and I can't figure out how to get the frame apart to see if the reel needs a bushing or something to make it tigher on it's axis, but the no-fastener assembly has me baffled. Mine is little different than yours, it is more rectangular, flat top but the same otherwise. I will buy a new one if necessary because I welded a frame up for this one to attach it rigidly to the corner of the house.

I would not by this set . The reel is of very poor quality. It does not take medium duty line and it tangles. You would be spending time trying to undo the tangles instead of fishing.

Any rod can break if abused, but with appropriate line weights and drag settings, and a quality reel with a drag that won't freeze-up, and most importantly the ferrule connections fully and firmly seated, I don't think you could break it.

I believe so. We haven't had to replace ours so I couldn't help you there but again I do believe that the whiskers are replaceable. Sorry that I couldn't be of more help.

I believe he could but it is gonna require you to show him a couple times. Its not difficult but there is a sequence that pulls it tight and to disassemble it requires that he reverse that sequence. You see the head and foot have two bars and one is longer to give you leverage for the pull taught. If strength is questionable he may need help. Its a great buy. Just used it last week for my daughter. She slept in our room on a trip to the beach.

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.

Yes. This is just a rod. Any rod will need a seperate reel purchased unless you buy a combo.

I bought this reel last Fall, it has served me well. I don't know all of the parts associated with the reel, but the bale (I think that is what it is called) on my reel has become a little loose. This reel has caught me some nice fish though and handled it very well. Overall it is a nice reel, but I would probably spend a little more for something else.

Starting a child out with an inferior rod and reel combination can end up discouraging them. I would highly recommend the Zebco 33 combo. It is light weight and functions flawlessly.

As usually all the other reels, you can mount the handle on either side. Usually you have to unsrew the handle from the other side, pull the handle out, and mount it on the other side, screw the screw back in. Not a complicated process, doesn't require tools, takes less then 20 seconds.

I don't think so. A pole for that reel has special notches inside. Other vendors may use different design even with the same diameter.
