FatBoy Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 OMG! I just saw a tv commercial for the Rocket Fishing Rod. Has anyone seen these things? Instead of casting, it shoots out a special bobber with the lure/hook inside. Rolland Martin was actually on the commercial plugging it. Only $39.90 or two easy payments of $19.95!!! It's geared towards kids, but still... Quote
Chris Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 It might be a good deal around docks you can shoot the lure all the way the the bank with it. Brings a whole new meaning to sling shotting for crappies. Quote
BassKing813 Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 This has got be the DUMBEST thing ever invented. LEARN HOW TO CAST WITH A REAL ROD!!! Who wants to teach their son or daughter to fish by using this thing? I see no benefit WHATSOEVER. Honestly, do the people who invented this product ACTUALLY think it will save time? Just buy a decent spincast combo for your child so they can learn to fish the REAL way. These stupid products really annoy the CRAP out of me! Geez! What a STUPID piece of JUNK. I bet my all of my fishing tackle that this "rocket fishing rod" will break the first time you hook a decent fish on it (if that's possible). Then, the little ones can get discouraged when the thing breaks and they lose a nice fish. They won't ever want to fish again. I'm even more surprised that Roland Martin actually showcased this product. He must have gotten paid a crap-load of money. Quote
Michael H Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 Lol i am amazed that these things sell enough to stay in business and It really seems roland martin will endorce anything, i saw him one his show saying how good a spincast reel in to catc big bass. He has no shame. Quote
justfishin Posted December 9, 2006 Posted December 9, 2006 It may sound goofy but, it may help someone with a handicap to enjoy some fishing. I hope it does. Quote
