My brother just saw a commercial for this, and showed me the website. Do they actually think anyone is dumb enough to buy this thing???

Yeah that thing is a joke but the sad thing is it looks like they are actually tyring to sell it. Also it seems they are not selling it as a joke/ gag item but as an actual quality piece of fishing equipment. Whats sadder is that there will be some people who will waste $20 on that thing. I bet the rod breaks very easily and that the spincast real will also break after a few outings. I have to admit it is realy funnt though.

Man they will try anything to make a buck. ;D

fivepound got it right. thats sad taht they are trying to pass that off as a nice rod n' reel. crazy. i'll bet taht thing is no more than a collapsable radio antennae and will snap the first time it loads w/ a bass.

whats also a joke is this right here http://www.asseenontv.com/prod-pages/rocketfishingrod.html

feel bad for the kids who get that and and so sad when it breaks. its really annoying how many "as seen on tv" fishing items ther are now...

LMAO.  

It's not a joke to Aaron Martens , he won the Bassmasters tournament on Lay lake and $100,000  primarily using this set up skipping docks.

Just kidding !

I actually saw a kid at my local lake useing that rocket rod. I actually thought it was quite funny. I also bet there has never been a decent fish caught on the rocket rod or the pencil rod.

You mean that I should give up my three and use some other set up? ;D

Kidding about the rod or he didnt finish in 2nd place?  ;D

Well, I'm sure my grandmother will be buying me one for Christmas.  :

I'm guilty of the Rocket Rod purchase.  The step-son wanted one for an outing after he saw all the hype on T.V.  I insisted that we not buy one, but the wife gave me 'the look' , so we bought it for him, and he did catch a few bluegill.  It did break after about 20 casts!  Somehow the line got all tied up in the spool, and I didn't have the patience to fix it so in to the garbage it went.

so sad :'(

you should buy him a dcent UL setup that will last.

that rocket rod doesnt even bend, i have no idea how you could possibly land a bass on a trebel lure in heavy cover w/ that thing.
