will the pole snap with a six pound bass ?

hasn`t yet. Have caught a few lunkers on it. I do recommend you tighten down the bail bolt regularly though

Sharon, I bought this reel/pole combo for a extra for a friend or situation which would need me to resort to having to using it as my backup. I'm surprised to say, the pole/reel combo for the money is absolutely great and would recommend it to anyone. Yes, it will work for bass/fish up to 10-15 lbs.

This is more suited for trout and panfish. It can handle up to a 2 Lb bass no problem

I would say you should be fine unless you plan on catching something above 20 or 30 pounds. I strictly bass fish and I have handle at least a 6 pounder with ease.

I think it is too heavy for crappie fishing. Go with a medium or medium light pole for that.

It probably would, but I would be worried about crushing the aluminum pole.

The feeder is quite heavy when filled so the pole would need to be very strong and secure.

Six foot should be fine. See if you can get an adapter for the legs because Olympic size weights don't fit it unless they've made adjustments since I purchased my unit

As long as it is anchored well it should be fine, I have a Dean ML, An Explorer and several very heavy basses (six string) on mine and they've never failed.

No. I have a <10 lb feeder on this pole and had to put a "j-post" into the ground next to it For something as heavy as your bird house, you need a 4x4 timber set into concrete or something VERY sturdy.

If you are using it on a bass boat it wouldn't be too bad. I use it on a 14ft vee hull fishing boat and it's tough to deploy and retract. I'm a big guy and it's tough to do. On a bass boat, standing over the mount it might not be too tough. The motor assembly is pretty heavy and takes quite of bit of "oomph" to pull it up.

I would NOT recommend this set up for that size fish! I had my hands full with fish under 5 pounds!See my review on this combo for information on the reel. The rod is great, but I would buy a stiffer one for 40 to 100 pounders. PS--where do you fish? I wanna go there! -Edog1955

I think it will .. I own a pair holding 12" JBL around 50 lbs with no problem ...

It could, but not attached to the poles unless they were low profile bait casting reels. This would also limit the amount of pole space.

Yes it does but there not that sturdy. I dig a hole about 6 to 8 inches and twist with the pole itself.

If the neck is the same width as a regular six string guitar it should work

I use the 600LC with braid trolling for bass with no problems so far. Set your drag right since there is very little stretch. I have a ten foot mono shock leader.On the 800 LC I use stainless wire and have caught plenty of bass and blues with no problemsGood luck
