Is this just for ice fishing or could it be used for Florida fishing in the Gulg?

Well the wires have to be just so in order to see your bait... I imagine in the gulf the waves would make it difficult to use

yes it is strong and durable and would be perfect for pier fishing and inshore, I myself prefer longer rods for everything, I have the 10' rod because sometimes is fish from docks on the florida intracoastal, piers and from the surf

It was a Christmas present for my husband. He has not been out fishing this season yet. Sorry I could not be of help.

Yes, it's pretty dark as that makes it easier for ice fishing. However, there are sever "windows" that you can open for light if needed.

Have used in saltwater but with lighter lures. Most of my use has been freshwater for muskellunge. Deals with 20 to 30 lb fish effectively. My lure of choice is virtually always on the lighter side and does not include the traditional large Muskie baits.

Yes but i wouldnt buy this one for ice fishing. Any depth finder can be used for ice fishing with a little 12v battery that is the size of about 4 pieces of bread and weighs around 10 lbs. But i wouldnt use side imaging for ice fishing because you must be moving for the side imaging to work. Between 2 and 6 mph. I have one unit on my kayak and another on my bass boat and love the technology.

I only use it for freshwater fishing. It is a strong and firm rod with good feel for fish bites. I don't know anything about saltwater fishing but would think it could be used. If you are looking for a strong but light touch rod, it is great.

The light is pretty bright, but I think (because it works on batteries and batteries don't work well in the cold) that there might be a better choice for ice fishing. Also, not sure what utility the fan function would have for ice fishing (as you do that in the winter -- don't really need a fan.) My Dad used to use a kerosene lantern -- worked well. Wonder if they make those anymore?

Can be used for small salt water species. Make sure you clean reel after each use. I used them for years flounder fishing in New England.

I dont have any experience ice fishing but I do know that it seems more like string or rope thanactual braided line.

The length is a little under six feet and the diameter is under a foot. When carrying it on your back it will hit the backs of your legs if you are a short person. Using a sled it works fine. The weight to fishing area ratio is really good. Only 3 pounds more than a quick fish 3 and a lot more room.

Yes it is a good mobile fishing rod for lakes, creeks, or any place you see might have a bass or catfish in it. I would not use it in salt water for larger fish though. I have had no problems with it in the lakes I have fished and caught several bass, crappie, and catfish on it.

hi scott, i used this combo surf casting on cape cod and liked it. it is a light surf casting setup, reel takes 14lb line. i guess if you used braided line you could up it. i think any fish over 20 lbs would be some fight, and fun. it would make a great rod for big fish in fresh water, like cats. hope this helps, steve

Yes, it can be used year round. I know people who place the unit on a floating platform (think inner tube) and use it to locate fish in the summer. Of course, using it on a non-frozen lake supported by a floating platform introduces risks not found when using it on a frozen lake.

This is much to light of a set up for most any salt water fishing. It's Ment for fishing streams for trout or bass.

I use it for terminal tackle for Salt Water fishing. Cutter is great but I don't like the teeth of the pliers. They do not line up perfectly so you can not grab thin fishing line (especially braid) if you are trying to cinch a knot.
