Does anyone know about this bar fitting easily into a large bait tank like you use for shad, AKA shad barrel?

It fits perfectly in a regular size cooler. It's probably 15 inches long. Works really well

I'm not sure what a shad barrel is. I mounted mine in an old cooler by taking the suction cups off of the spray bar clips and using some small stainless steel screws and mounted the clips to the inner wall of the cooler up high. hope this helps.

I will have to measure them but they fit snugly in my existing bait station and I also use a curved plumbing tube (outsied), put two in and they work great. I ahve been very happy with them.I use pure peppermint oil spray mixed with water in my attic to drive them away (they hate the smell) and it also serves as a pleasant deodorizer. Once outside they find the baits and then goodbye!

I landed a 1.5 kg salmon on a no 4 floating line and the rod took it very well. It took me about 7-10 min of fighting the fish.(c&r;) Be sure to adjust the upper part of the rod every 15 min of casting. Very nice combo for the price.

Doubtful...as it did not fit over my eave trough either. I had the same issues you did with it...trying to get it ten feet from rim to ground. You are better off getting some bar stock and making your own, as this is not only badly designed, but it is certainly nothing special. I concluded that were I to have this very long, I needed something different.

Some makers do an LS large stout. You can some times find these on Amazon or eBay

GH- I use a Wright and McGill "Magnum Plug" 10' 6", Medium Fast Action + Heavy Power for trolling and mooching Chinook, sliver and humpy salmon. I've even jigged for ling cod but it's not as efficient as a shorter, stouter glass rod. I'm able to back bounce for steelhead as well. However, it can be alot of pole length on a busy drift boat so I borrowed my sons Okuma Blu Diamond BD-C-762MLa 7' 6" and it proved challenging with a fish on in big volume water. I'm happy with the trade-off of having one rod for multiple uses as opposed to multiple rods. Both of my boys just started salmon fishing so I like the economy of these rods, hopefully they will be durable as well. Hope this info helps-ML

I didn't own mine long enough to give a qualified answer, but any sectional poles (I use an ultra-light one for spin-casting) aren't really going to be well geared for really large fish. I picked this up to throw in the back of the truck as a basic utility rod to use on whims rather than specific fishing trips. I accidentally broke the tip off pulling it out of the car. I only broke about an inch off and picked up a new tip at Cabela's and glued it on and it was no worse for wear. I emailed the company to see if they could send me an extra tip or two and said I was more than happy to pay for it as I'm infamous for bonehead moves like that. They sent me an apologetic letter saying that they don't have separate parts but would see what they could do. A few days later a whole rod kit (two piece instead of a take down) showed up in the mail! A few weeks later my dad stumbled on a more expensive orvis take-down with a smaller tube case, so I sent the Crystal River take-down to a friend of mine in Ukraine who said she had never tried fly casting before and the smaller rod was cheaper to ship than a 2 piece. (it still cost me over $50 to ship, but she enjoyed the gift)

You could but in my opinion, it would look funny. As another reviewer said, just keep them separate or even better, just buy an L shaped bar. There are a ton on Craigslist and Ebay.

Bar is predrilled so you would have drill a hole for the bolt that connects the bar to the bracket. Also need to make sure you mount the bracket to stud or rafter. 45 in doesn't sound like standard spacing. Good luck.

I had to buy a 1/2 inch male hose barb at lowes ($4-$5) and some hosing. But yeah you could do it. It's threaded and works great. Don't forget to put the rubber washers on both sides and tighten it as much as you can. Test for leaks first. And make sure you use better plumbers Teflon tape than what they send you. Had a tiny leak at first. But better Teflon fixed it right away. Love this pot.

I wouldn't get this for robos because the bar spacing is pretty big for a robo. I would recommend a bin cage with mesh or 20 gallon aquarium with mesh top! (Both are easy to make and cheaper, I recommend going on YouTube for a tutorial). Hope I helped!

I have a 72 inch bar that just fits. Any smaller wouldn't. I think an 84 in would work great.

I bought this stand and it fit a TEN gallon perfectly. I would look for something bigger, stronger for a 55 gallon

It fits, but takes up most of the tank. It would work as a temporary fix for very small turtles or frogs and newts.

Unfortunately I cannot help here. I had bought this for an aquarium just to see if it would help. It was too large. Good luck with your searching.

I don't know about it fitting a big water rod. I have a shorter Cabela's tube (still 3") that holds my Uglystick GX2 4 piece. If the first guide is too large then it probably won't fit. If my rod was any bigger it would't fit.
