Can the fishing rod be used to "catch" fish that I make that have magnets in them? I want to make fish with each letter of the alphabet.

Maybe? The magnet hook is in an awkward position pointing upwards; the fish magnets are in the roof of their open mouth. You could also untie the magnet hook and reattach a more simple magnet.

Yes, it can that's a great idea ... I just tried the little letters we have and it works great !!

Yes, but some sink in different ways ("nose" down) so it can be hard to catch the fish without a little help of your hand. Sometimes I have to literally reach in and stick the fish onto the fishing pole!

Hi,Yes you are able to unwind the spoon and replace it with a new fishing line (which I would recommend unless you like dealing with tangled line after a few caught fish) or replace the entire reel and keep the same fishing pole. My 5 year old daughter cough 4 trouts last weekend and enjoy the easy cast system.

Always do a balance test with your rod & reel but this should be equally dispersed from end to end. Will work fine but always keep in mind what you are fishing for???

I have the spin cast and the closed face rods, they are so much fun, every fish feels big. I even caught an 8 to 10 lb. catfish on the spin rod, yes it bent double and still is fine. I put micro size reels on them fun "extra" fun.(splurged and bought expensive ultra fine line) It is cheap, but holds together. I suggest the spin open face as the most fun.

No. We have two of these rods and love them. Caught small bull sharks that were over 50 lbs without a problem. If u catch big, loosen ur drag and u will be fine.

The rod, perhaps, although anything more than a couple of pounds would be a challenge. The reel is not a saltwater reel and will likely not hold up well if used routinely for saltwater fishing. Occasional use, if followed with a thorough rinse in fresh water and proper lubrication would probably be OK. If you want something for routine saltwater usage, I would not recommend this. If you want something packable and portable, for pond and creek fishing for panfish, trout and bass up to a few pounds, this is a good choice.

Definitely! As long as there are holes in the attachment you can thread the fishing string through them. The solar system comes with planets that already have loops on the top for string to be tied, and it comes with fishing string.

I've used a section of fishing rod, a length of line with a float on the end as a cat toy since I was a child. I've even used a rod and reel to play outdoors. Casting and reeling it across the lawn as the cat tries to catch it. Never had any breakage problems. Sometimes the simple toys are a cat's favorites.

sorry, i do not have like-wooden magnet letters to test...but there is no reason to believe that it wouldn't hold wooden magnet unless the wood letters itself is too heavy that it falls off the slanted surface...it holds the plastic mag-letters just fine and the surface can be written/draw on with an erasable marker...and you can use the letters on the fridge surface...the board is a nice addition...kids like different things to do to keep their interests up...

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.

It would be great for trout fishing. Your line and pole would be the biggest difference for using this reel. I use it for light saltwater fishing and would def use it for some trout back at home.

I'm not sure exactly how my answer will help you but here it goes. First of all I feel Zebco fishing rods are a good quality rod, second of all I was not very impressed with the fishing rods made for children and the Zebco had a 5 foot rod (just perfect for my 3 yr old grandson), third he wanted a red fishing pole and finally my son-in-law who fishes a lot said it was a really good fishing pole. I think if you are only going to use it to just sit by the bank or on a pier to fish then it would be a good pole for you, but if your going to try and catch the really big fish, then go for a bigger and stronger pole.

I was disappointed to find that I couldn't use the magnet to pick up a paper clip I had pasted to a paper fish for a fishing game for my children. I definitely needed to double (if not triple up) for the fishing game to work.

Regular refrigerator magnets will NOT work. The board comes with 6 custom magnets that work very well with the board. I have not been able to contact the company to order more which is a bit frustrating. Overall I love the product but it is annoying how only the custom magnets work with it.

Yes, this should work for items like fishing rods. Mount them with the reel facing forward.

I haven't used it in any of these applications, but I think it could be used for all these except for Bass. The rod may be too big for catching Bass.
