can you catch fresh water minnows with it?

Check with local fishing regulations. Where I am you cannot use a cast net in fresh water.

well i never used it for that ...i use it to cast sprat at the shore and it works very well

I would say probably not. It's a pretty wide weave, I would say a 3 inch minimum with any consistency.

No the hole to big for that The holes are 3/8in I have never caught any freshwater minnows

As long as you don't put extreme pressure on the rod and use all the stress on the line it can be used. The rod is very fragile and cannot be used with heavy lures... Good luck

I have a 19 qt Engal that I use for Striper fishing on the Sacramento River. I can put 10 dozen minnows in it if I need too and fish all day. I sometimes run it over night with left overs and they are still alive for fishing the following day. Excellent live well for the $. I've been running it for 2 seasons without any problems. I did put a larger bubble stone in it for more air volume.

I took the boat about a hundred yards off the shore to fish in new England once and it did fine. You would probably get towed around if you were catching bigger fish but that sounds like a good time to me. Rinse it off with fresh water after you're done tho.

It is good for the fish size up to 2feet at most. It will be quit thrilling if you really catch a big one having hard time toretrieve.If you expect bigger than that, you need one with larger spool and stronger drag like Abu 5000 or 6000 series.

YES! In fact, I posted a ~25minute video review focusing on ice fishing. Search the DIY Sportsman Deeper review on Youtube. It has limitations due to its size, and has a measured ~0.49s delay. But I do catch just as many fish with it as I do with any other flasher. Keep your trip under 4 hours or you'll need to bring a portable battery pack.

Yes, but it could also be used for stillfishing/live bait as well. if you prefer live bait fishing the Shimano Baitrunner series might be a good choice, or one of the Okuma baitfeeder reels (Avenger, Coronado or Epixor).

Yes, you can use 10lb test on it and land some big fish with it. I caught 3 20-21 inch large mouth bass last year. It was quite a fight for every one of them but the pole handled it very well. I was very pleased with the performance. Make sure your pole sections are seated tightly as they can sometimes get loose but I haven't had that happen but once. Good luck and Happy fishing!

Yes, mine did. My small betta is fine with it. It's good at catching small floating stuff, so I rinse it in the old tank water whenever I change his water.

Absolutely! We purchased 4 of the Zebco fishing outfits for our grandchildren to use on our pond. Using the hooks and floats supplied by Zebco, they fished all summer and fall and caught Crappie, Blue Gill, turtles and small mouth Bass using sections of night crawlers as bait. Ages range from 2 to 6. Best of all, everything worked perfectly and is ready for more fishing fun next Spring once the ice is off the pond.

I have this rod and have caught everything from large panfish (bream, crappie) to small bass. I have also caught both fresh and saltwater trout. It all depends on what size leader and tippet you use and how much you are willing to finesse a big fish.

You probably could. All the fish I feed love it. Especially the cat fish, the carp and the crappie. The bass don't care for it though.

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.

Yes! Mines sometimes will pick up my lure as a fish. It can pick up jig if there is rapid movement of the jig or lure.

Sorry, I have no idea. I can handle Pike, Walleye, etc. no problem. I thought you guys swam underwater and grabbed those big 'ole catfish with your bare hands, LOL.
