Can this unit be used for fishing?

As long as it has a current map loaded and you can receive a signal where your going... You should be able too...

Sorry to say, but this is a strong reel meant for Marine Fishing. Put some strong line on it and go after the big fish ! Keith S.

Yes! Mines sometimes will pick up my lure as a fish. It can pick up jig if there is rapid movement of the jig or lure.

The rod and reel could handle a nice sized bass if you play the fish out. The rod doesn't have a lot of back bone. But i have hooked onto a few 1-2lb bass and it did fine. I would suggest using 20-30lb braid because you get good strength and small diameter.

I have used it for saltwater. I love to catch redfish with it. So yeah. It works.

Yes, but it is very basic. You would need much more for your average fishing trip. Some would consider the 'tackle' useless.

Sorry, I haven't used it to trout fish, only bass fishing and it works great.

well you can but it works best if there is no other food for them to get to( just ther bait in the unit ) and you would need to cover the unit so it does not get wet

I don't know. I have been using my unit for plotting different fishing spots.

Yes, it would be fine. Just be aware the LED lights do not last very long. It is perfect for 1 fish.

You can fish from the boat. It has rod holders and the cooler section could be used to keep bait. Really depends on how serious of a fisherman you are. Some fishermen require a lot of room for their junk.I put it in the back of my pickup truck with the canopy down of course - it only weighs 110 lbs.

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.

It can be used for lure fishing, depending upon how fast you need to retrieve the lure. The gear ratio should be higher for fast retrieve baits such as crank baits and buzz baits. It's a personal preference.
