Since it comes with a 15-Feet Fixed Pedestal, can the seat be used for spotting bait fish in the waters. Is it stable enough to case a net from? lol

I never tried to cast a net from the seat. I have it on my fly bridge. I seems strong enough. It's a good cheap chair.

There is a seat and a bar across the front that keeps the side apart. You are submerged in the water a few inches. It's great for the price, but the bar does make entry/exit difficult, especially with fins on. If you're able to spring for a higher-end product, you want one with a strap around the whole outside. However, this one is certainly adequate for floating down the river in what is, essentially, and easy-chair.

sorry for the delayed response. We have used one like this for our15' rib in the ocean. We bought this for the same boat for lake use. I assume it will hold!

You can fish from the boat. It has rod holders and the cooler section could be used to keep bait. Really depends on how serious of a fisherman you are. Some fishermen require a lot of room for their junk.I put it in the back of my pickup truck with the canopy down of course - it only weighs 110 lbs.

I wouldn't advise using this particular seat for that purpose. It's a great seat for many things, but it would be too unstable and not safe. This seat needs a flat surface to sit on and to be able to attach the hooks that helps hold it in place.

I would not use a two piece rod for trolling. I think the drag from the boat and the down planer may put to much stress on the joints

Without going out to my garage to measure my seat bracket, I can say that the seat bracket (and seat) is very stable in lodge type aluminium boats that have very wide seats. My bracket is many years old and has performed very well so I purchased another bracket for my son and two sons-in-law. Ed Marroso

I have bought a couple of these and like them ==> JED Pool Tools 50-560-16 Professional Deluxe Anodized Telescopic Pole, 16-Feet I will tell you this net can hold more than any hollow aluminum pole can handle. That doesn't change my opinion about either product but rather a cautionary word of advice to not overfill the net.

This is more suited for trout and panfish. It can handle up to a 2 Lb bass no problem

I have a 10lb Mushroom Anchor for my two-man inflatable fishing boat and it works quite well. I would guess that a 15lb would be adequate for a row boat.

I imagine it depends on the boat, but in most cases I'd have to say yes. I have a 17' Bass Tracker. I was able to position it to rest right behind the 3 main seats. I'm very pleased with it. It makes a world of a difference in the summer sun! Easy to install. I used 5/16" self tappers to fasten to the aluminum edge.Highly recommend

yes - you're probably right. It doesn't have a hook to latch onto whatever its sitting on. I use it on bleachers at my son's baseball games. If its balanced in the middle of the bench its not a problem, however. I really like it.

I haven't tried fishing. I have a DSLR camera with a large lense and have taken photos from it. There is a storage net on the front that can be reached to put a small tackle box that you could get to. I think there wouldn't be much problem. It is pretty stable.

I have a 15 foot tandem that is about that width. It sits on the bottom on its side but I had to jam some foam under it. I put a canoe on top. It definitely isnt pretty but it was cheap and simple. In general i think this stand is best suited for single seaters.

I'd say 15-30 is accurate. I had some 20lb bluefish on this recently and there were a few runs where the pole seemed to be bending to its limit.

That depends upon what is put on it. I can say that it is very sturdy and will hold 75 lbs or more easily. I have had several fish on it at once with no problems. Great fishing table.

I don't think it's sturdy or stable enough for a fish tank of any size. It can be knocked over very easily.
