Can you tie it to your line and cast it out or do you have to use it in a boat.

It's designed to tie to your line and cast it out, buttttttt it has not worked past about 10 feet out for me and when I'm fishing with a bobber like this I cast out quite a ways, I have been using it with my small aluminum boat and it works fine.

You can tie it and cast it. When I had it I kept it tied to some extra line not attached to my pole and would toss it where I was going to be running through. But just a heads up this product has really mixed reviews. I returned mine after the first use because it stopped working after 15mins.

You cast it out. When I used mine I had a separate pole with the sonar attached.

I currently have a spinning reel attached to this rod. Although I have not yet tried it out, I do believe you could use a casting reel. The rod is primarily meant for deep sea fishing using trolling reels.

Well you can I would use at least 30lb test fishing line. I would make sure that you tie good knots in the line, so the line does not slip through and it falls

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

That's an interesting question...I suppose you could drill a hole on each side of the "log" part to run a wire through the base of the owl to something & then tie it down. Guess it depends on the boat. Wouldn't work on a Cobalt or a race boat, but maybe on a fishing boat seat? Good luck!

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

It does not come with line loaded on it. I've found 25lb. and lighter line to work the best for shore fishing and casting. The heaviest recommended is 30lb. Length of line depends on thickness.

You can tie a rope on one of the pillows if you are stationary. I wouldn't tow it behind the boat if it is moving.

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

Use the slv 7/8 reel. The wieght of the reel needs to be in balance with the wieght of the rod to make casting and handling the rod and reel more truer and m or effieicnet. That goes for the wieght of the line too. If you're concerned aboput amount of line or strength, add a little more backing for lentght and go to a heavier leaders to the fly.

No..i believe it would freeze..it needs to get wet to stretch so it would hold a knott...by that alone if water enters it it would freeze..they do sell line for ice fishing tho..

I do not think you can and these boats are not good at all very poorly made. Hope this helps

Probably not. It's a baitcaster, so when first learning, line is easily tangled on the reel. A spinning combo is much easier, and plenty of fisherman stay with them forever. Will he fish in the ocean? Then he needs it to be designed for use in salt water.

The Minnecota deckhand has a quick release bracket. So you can take it on and off and a remote or you can place anywhere in the boat and control The anchor from there

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.

I guess you could tie the line to the end but why? Might as well cut a 4 or 5 foot branch off a tree. Its shorter than the usual rod. Its designed for a reel, I use one.

You would need to untie the knot at the end of the line and pull it taut, then retie. My clothes line has not needed this and I have had mine outside all summer in the weather. Holding up nicely. The line itself is coated and does not sag much over time.
