How does it stay standing up on its end when you have a fish on the line?

When there is a fish on the line it tugs the end without the flotation and makes it stand up... thanks!

Just give a little tug on the cord, and it floats right up to the top, then just grab it by hand. The water buoys the weight of it, so you are not really pulling the entire weight by the cord.

It has a drag on the bottom. It actually way nice because you can hit it with your thumb while you are reeling. It is all on bottom of the reel

The floating device floats on top of the water. I think it is used for the automatic shut off when the water is empty. My automatic shut off does not seem to work.

It has two plastic "peg legs" to stabilize it when standing (though mine stands just fine on high without the pegs). The "peg leg" pulls out and can snap back on without much issue.

No, it doesn't stand up by itself really. The hard bottom does help and it depends on the balance of the items inside but it's not meant to stay upright.

The travel of the line is determined by the travel of the spring and all that is needed is enough to set the hook and resist the pulling of the fish. You can add to the length of the line provided the weight of the added line does not exceed the power of the spring.

I will get back to you with that answer. In the meantime, you should know that the hook pivots freely so it may get frustrating to try to catch the fish because the hook will not necessarily behave the way you might want. Unless the magnet is so strong that the pull just attracts the fish without regard for the position of the hook.

I keep my tank upright at most times but it appears the unit still works normally when laid down.

It goes in the bottom in the circle. You slide the lure paper between the two arrows that say "Here/Aqui". Just enough to where it is suspended in the middle without falling out.

No. Mine does just fine as it is letting some air escape on the top. I even poach fish in it.

It does stay upright using the stakes and tie down. However if you have a large concrete apron around you pool you might have trouble using the stakes for the tie down.

Yes - it is strong enough to make the fish 'jump' a little from the attraction - but it does have to be lined up right. We love it!

If you use the hook, it hangs vertically. Because it's gravity driven, it cannot be used horizontally unless you build a special sheath for it. Hope this helps.

The float raises a rod that makes a switch on the top cover when the water level is high enough. The Float moves up but only slightly. Sometimes it can get misaligned and not work properly. If you have filled it with water and it doesn't run push down on the top cover on the right side. If the unit comes on then the rod is not moving up and down properly. For those of you whose units do not shut off when empty also check the alignment of the rod and make sure it moves freely.

Won't fit in a rod holder, but, yeah, it'll rest on something like a rock. Sit back and wait for the fish.

I used fishing line to hang the balloon. It looks like its floating in the air since the fishing line is barely visible.
