Do you reel in the line?

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

Has the magnet strength changed? I see older reviews saying they're strong where newer reviews say the magnet is weak and won't pick up the fish.

Dom the line is static, you just pull up the entire rod to pick the fish out of the water. Easy for the little ones to grasp, and work alone. The reel is just for looks.

No. The rod looks like it has a reel but it is just solid plastic. On the end of the string is a very strong magnet and the fish are magnetic so it picks them up really great. Grandkids love it. Fish are really big so it is easy for them to catch and get the fish.

I use braided line so you can use a higher weight line that does not take up more space on the reel.

yes, but if u use reel for fresh water suggest stren or trilene line. these lines are better suited for fresh water usage

Yes you can. It's just as easy as a regular closed reel but instead of screwing the top off it has a button on the side that that releases the spool of line out the side.

yes, you fish with the reel as pictured, line up, and the right hand grasps the handle, I have 5 of these for my boat for last 4 years and love them. lost one overboard last season so had to replace it, great salmon season.

No, the line that comes with it is not weight forward or double tapered. It is balanced line. I planned on it being so and had some weight forward line on hand for when it arrived, which I suggest. I also suggest having another reel on hand too, as the one that comes with this set isn't all that great, but it will hold line.

yes, you can't cast with it. you have to keep a thumb on spool as you let out line

Yes if you secure it well enough. How tight the line is depends on how much slack you give it when you wrap the end. I play with it for a few seconds to get it really tight. We put our line up high enough also so that the king sized sheets we have wouldn't drag.

Sure;If you use 80 lbs.braided line can handle anything you hook,Ialways use 80lbs.braided line in all my reels.No problem at all.

No - you just wind the hose around it manually. There is no reel to "wind it up".

You move it back and forth by hand while you reel the hose in. I used to have one where it moved automatically while I was reeling. I found that I liked this system better because it gave me more control. The automatic had a tendency to break.

I use this line for jug lines. I don't think it would spool well on a reel.

You could spool many reels. Tell me what reels you are wanting to spool. the reels themselves and the packaging tells you of line capacity with different diameters! There is never a need to find the midpoint of a spool unless you are fishing sea fishing rigs? Even then it would be highly unlikely??? I could be missing the question here entirely however!

Daiwa reels have a small gray triangle clip. It doesn't work the best to hold the line, but you could also tie it to the bail. That's what I usually do with open bail reels when not attached to a pole.

Line size has no bearing to the operation of the line counter. Use any line weight you want.....the reel will read the amount of line let out.

Yes, I refill mine all the time. I use a multiple-edged line, works better.

Yes, both fly reel and spin reel - not just after a single cast, but multiple times during a fishing session. Usually the top-most section flies out on the line - you have to hope to not snag or otherwise break off the line when that happens or you'll lose the tip! Other than periodically re-seating the joints, I have not found a way to prevent it. In fact I'm looking for a better rod for that reason.
