Well damn, just damn.

Someone bought me one for Christmas when I was a kid.
What a piece of junk.

My kid got me one when he was 5, and we took it to Alaska that year. I caught steelhead to 14 pounds with it in the small stream running out of Kegan Lake down to the salt water. It was a lot of fun and easy to pack.

I still have it somewhere in one of the storage sheds...need to get it out and run some new line on it. laugh

I'm fairly certain he made a mint off that phugger. Look how many copycats came from that invention. It was a rotisserie I think

I remember as kid that my friend had a pocket fisherman. It was easier to fit on his bike but I could cast a lot further.

I remember the rotisserie commercial, "Set it and forget it!"

Anybody remember those telescoping fishing rods they made in the early 1970’s ? I had one I used on my dirt bike and for backpacking as a kid.

I went into a Sporting Goods store with a buddy, back when we were teenagers, and he asked for one of those.


He said "Damn, they didn't have to laugh at me like that".
