Make fishing fun and accessible for the entire family, with the FOGO Generation II Rocket Fishing Rod. Recipient of the 2005 ICAST Best in Kid's Tackle award, the FOGO Rocket Launcher fishing rod is safe and easy for young kids to operate independently. The patented design allows users to cast up to 30 feet of line with a pump-and-launch action that eliminates snares and tangles as well as unintentional casting accidents. Additionally, the FOGO Rocket Fishing Rod can be adjusted to suit different fishing conditions and different kinds of fish, developing and honing the skills of young fishermen and women.

Using the rod is very straightforward from the set up to the cast and reel. Before fishing you can adjust the drag wheel just right for the kind of fish you'll be catching. You set the hook and bait inside bobber prior to casting. To cast, you simply pull the Rocket Launcher's handle back, reel the bobber until you see it in the view window, aim, and fire. The Rocket Launcher is equipped with a safety latch to prevent unintentional launches, and the patented safety bobber hides the hook until it hits the water so there are no accidental hooks. The bobber opens and releases bait automatically upon hitting the water.

Specifications:

• Recommended Hook Size: 4
• Recommended Weight Size: 8
• Dimensions: 4 x 6 x 30.75 inches (LxWxH)
• Weight: 1.85 pounds
• Not for use by children under 6 years of age

My son begged me for this for his birthday. It was $35 and more $$$ than I really could afford. It was his favorite gift and waited anxiously for 2 weeks to use it on our camping trip.

We never got it to work once. A complete waste of money, couldn't figure it out, falling apart all over the place, I spent most of our fishing time trying to get it to work for him and finally gave up with him being disappointed. What an absolute shame.

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.

This review is from: FOGO Generation II Rocket Fishing Rod (Sports)

This product says it's for 8 year olds & up, but it was very cumbersome & difficult to use. Pressing the safety button & reel cover simultaneously was tricky, especially for small hands. I'd give it 0 stars, except for the excitement of (finally) getting the bobber to shoot out. After that, the thrill was over - no fish for the Rocket, even though kids with traditional rods were catching fish left & right.
