Is the rocket fishing rod 2 a good fishing rod?
I just bought the rocket fishing rod 2 and toys r us reviews say it a bad fishing rod. Is it true?
My wife found it on sale for $12 -- which, in retrospect, should have been a clue. It took about five casts for a three year old who loves fishing to see that this is a sorry piece of junk. This is a great way to thoroughly disappoint a child.
I have five children, from three to twenty-three, and they all love to go fishing. We fish in ponds, canals, and from our boat - for everything from grouper to bass. Fishing is a great way to spend some quality time with your kids, but don't waste your money on this thing.
The problems with this are legion. It will definitely launch the "safety bobber" a respectable distance, but you must tie your hook directly to the six pound test line (no way to use any type leader), you are limited to using one split shot weight, and you must pack the hook, weight and bait inside the safety bobber. Even using just a small piece of shrimp, we found that it wouldn't usually deploy properly which leaves the child "fishing" with his bait stuck inside the plastic float.
Stay away from weeds, stumps or anything else that could cause a snag -- in other words, all the good places that fish hang out where you would normally try to get bait to. If you get hung up, you have to replace the entire contraption (at about $3 each) which will take some time, especially if you break the line above that little "line stop" that the entire system depends upon.
If you do manage to hook a fish with this thing (which is probably a rare event), it better be a very small fish. You have no way to "play" a fish with this toy bazooka, and six pound test line won't let you force the fish out of weeds and such, so a fish of any size would be likely to tangle you up.
Note that they tell you this is not for young children. The fact is, this is a child's toy, that only a young child will be interested in, but it is not safe for them. They must have the age warning because it would be easy to seriously hurt someone if you shot them in the face with this.
If I seem a little miffed over something that just cost us $12, the $12 has nothing to do with it.
My three year old was completely taken by the commercials to the point that we had to let him try it. We took him out on the boat to a place where he could "cast" without worry about getting tangled up (and we could simply go retrieve it if he did). I literally had a boat load of children (most of mine, and some of their friends), and it pained me to see the little guy so disappointed, but sometimes you must let them see and do for themselves.
I remember his PR fiasco when Roland Martin declined the Make-A-Wish Foundation's request to take a terminally ill child fishing, so I don't know why I would expect more from him than to lend his name to this. How do you target children, and parents who don't know better.
What kind of person disappoints children for a living?

Have a great weekend everyone. We'd be grateful if you would 'Like' our Boat Sales UK Facebook page : Thanks!
P4P, one of my in-laws in the yacht building trade. Boat sales are down (have been going down for years actualy) becuz the middle & upper middle classes have had to cut back. If a very wealthy person wants a yacht, or an expensive bottle of wine, or a hummer, they'll buy it whether or not it has a few bucks extra tax slapped on it. The place where I work is patronized by wealthy people. Still, I wasn't only referring to luxury taxes. Calif is riddled with mismanagement, waste, & corruption…and of course, as you mentioned, the illegals cost a ton of dough. They get all kinds of govt assistance. My husband & I have never gotten a dimes worth of assistance from any govt entity for our handicapped son's physical therapy however. Some years ago I applied for assistance for him & had the following results: from the State of Calif: my son was certainly handicapped enough, but my husband made too much money (he works for a school district!!!); and from our county: we don't have too much income, but our son is not handicapped enough! Seriously, my kid falls right through the cracks of our system & we work like dogs to give him the best care and education we can give him, but of course people like the octonut get whatever they want. Our govt is really sick.
Boat sales up in May
