Question 1

Is this for ice fishing?

Accepted Answer

Yes it can.  Will be trying it on some jaw-jackers this ice season.  Did find them cheaper priced ($10) at Walmart.

Question 2

Never really fished but taking kids to stocked pond this summer and am buying this basic rod. At the very minimal, what else do I need to buy?

Accepted Answer

It's a great little rod- we just took it out this weekend.  You'll still need hooks, weights, bobbers and bait.  A pair of needle nosed pliers to put the weights on would be good.  I'd also grab an extra spool or two of line- my kids were out fishing, too, and although I have fished many times over the years, they were less patient than they could have been, and snarled the line a few times (once spectacularly so).  I didn't need a new spool, but I can imagine if they're going to fish a lot this summer that you might need extra line and scissors to cut any tangles they create.  Amazon has a cute tackle box called the South Bend Wormgear Tackle Box that had a lot of what you need (less line and bait).  It comes in blue and pink(!) in case your kid's a girl (or just likes pink).  Have fun.  We had a really good time this past weekend with it, and we did catch fish!  Our best was about an 8-inch bass.

Question 3

Could you separate reel from rod?

Accepted Answer

Yes you take off the reel.

Question 4

Does.it prevent them from reeling it back in the wrong way. Look as this is for a 5 yr old. The point and cast only reel one way.. Trying to prevent

Accepted Answer

The reel can either be set to run one way or both ways, as desired. Basically a regular reel. Great for first time fishing. For a child casting I think the Deluxe version is better. It is slightly longer and that helps a lot. Also still pretty cheap too.
