User questions & answers

Question:	is it a bait fishing rod
Answer:	I don't understand the question. It is a regular fishing rod and reel with a really short rod. I've done every type of fishing with it. You cast and retrieve as with any outfit.
Question:	does this come with any kind of a case
Answer:	No, it locks into itself like in the picture. I put it in a nylon bag to keep it from opening on its own. The handle opens to hold about 3-4 lures and hooks.
Question:	what size fish can i catch without the line snapping
Answer:	Probably around 8-10lb depending on how hard they fight. You can replace the line though and then you can catch nearly anything!
Question:	Does it include the fishing line or do you have to spool it once you get it? If so, any idea how much line there is
Answer:	It does include line, lures, sinkers, hooks and a swivel to get started. It even has a practice weight to get the feel of it. I have never unreeled all the line but I have cast it out about 30 yards and did not reach the end.

User questions & answers

Question:	How difficult is it to attach the reel to the pole? How is it done
Answer:	It's really easy to attach the reel. There is a reel seat in the handle with a threaded collar that screws down to hold the reel securely in place. Once you have it in hand, you'll instantly see how it's done.
Question:	Is this a good general lake fishing rod? If not, what is something a bit more ideal
Answer:	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.
Question:	would a 14 year old enjoy this for fishing in
Answer:	Sure but this is more of a travel kit for backpackers or just to throw in the truck to have with you. I wouldn't recommend this for a kid even as old as yours since the pole come's apart in so many place's it is fragile and needs a little more attention to detail otherwise half the pole may end up in the water. if I may suggest http://www.amazon.com/Shakespeare-Ultra-Action-Spinning-5-Feet/dp/B00018BXNO/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1387379827&sr=8-11&keywords=ugly+stick+fishing+rods this pole is strong enough to catch big channel cat's and light enough to feel the smallest blue gill nibble hope this helps you.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the case
Answer:	Dimensions are in description.

User questions & answers

Question:	De cuántas libras es la caña de pescar
Answer:	Mine was shipped by UPS, on a Tractor Trailer, with a lift gate. The driver was able to use his pallet jack to drop it off down the side of my house that was paved. It was delivered on a pallet in two pieces that are secured to the pallet. Please make sure to inspect the wooden boxes carefully as mine had a slight dent in the box which I found put a slight dent in the stand. The mill actually has a lot of open room in the box. By the way the chip shelf is in the mills box. I purchased a rolling base, separately, to put the stand on. With the base installed under the stand, I used my engine hoist to lift the mill on the base and now I am able to move the mill around. Don't forget to use a tram tool on the mill, to make sure everything is square, and enjoy your new toy.
Question:	does it work on salt water
Answer:	I have milled Steel, aluminum, bronze and cast iron with no problems. No noticeable deflection if you operate it reasonably. It's not a Bridgeport but it works well for my purposes. Have use end mills up to 5/8" and slitting saw up to 3" on bronze. This is a really nice , tight, accurate machine. I'm just a hobby machinist and no expert though.
Question:	What are the dimensions of the case? Trying to see if it will fit in our backpacks
Answer:	Metal. Very well built machine. I love mine.
Question:	Is this for women? Because it only says husband, son, fiance, boyfriend etc
Answer:	I purchased this about 8 to 1yr ago thinking it would be a Perfect addition to my shop, boy was i wrong. I currently operate this Drill 2-3 times a month for 1/6" aluminum. First the Chuck Falls off with the Slightest amount of Pressure as well all know 1/16" Aluminum is very Brutal(sarcasim). Above in the top Box Enclosure where the main Gear is their is a small Counter Gear that gets Literally Destroyed because it is made of this CHEAP PLASTIC, not to mention the other CHEAP PLASTIC Gears and Moving Components that require a Lot of Stress. I have had to Modify this Machine by having Gears Made in Steel which has Costed me a Grand total of $735dls. Now the Question is "do I recommend this Machine?" NO! You are better off Buying Something American which is More Reliable than this Press, sure it looks Pretty and All, but Believe me "it is a Waste of Money and Time" if you have a Small Shop that Requires a Dependable Product to Perform for Extremely Light Duty work, which is what i use it for. Did i Mention it's used for 1/6" Aluminum?

User questions & answers

Question:	Where is it made
Answer:	It is located right where the top of thee reel rounds to the back side. It’s in a great location!
Question:	Would this work for an adult that wants a spur of the moment rod
Answer:	We recommend 6 lb test line. This product has a micro spincast reel; a higher lb test line, with it's increased size, may not provide a suitable amount of line on the reel for casting.
Question:	What is the line that comes with it
Answer:	If you look under the bottom of the rod where the "trigger" hold is for the index finger there is a "screw eye", this comes out and is designed to feed the cord through the passage way inside the telescopic rod when completely compressed at its shortest length. Although, it is not any easy task. I have been using these rods for casting fun for festivals we do for a major car brand. I found some thin wire where I can tape the line to the wire and pull it through. Not a well thought out process.
Question:	I'm looking to get this for an 18 y/o who is new(ish) to fishing...definitely not a child. Will this be suitable for him
Answer:	Hi, that is a great question. Our Pocket Combo weighs right at 10 ounces.
