I bought the Pocket Fisherman for pickeral fishing on Lake of the Woods in Ontario. Fit and finish was good. I followed the directions and it worked well. Casted not too bad. We caught 9 walleyes total; three by the RONCO. My main beef about this rig is that it is very difficult telling when a fish is on the line. My guess is that the rod is so short and stiff that it does not transmit the movement of the fish on the line very well to the fisherman's hand. eg, I felt a tug on the line and it felt like I was reeling in a dead load of seaweed, no fight at all. When I got the "seaweed" to the side of the boat, I was amazed to see a twelve inch walleye. I think perhaps there are better telescoping rods on the market. I give this product two stars **

I am the owner of several fishing poles and I know a good fishing pole. I haven't had it mess up on me yet and have caught about 15 fish on it. I love the size of it and the portability of it. I can take it with me in my backpack everywhere! Its a good pole and I recommend it!

I do a lot kayaking and it makes it nice having the Ronco Pocket Fisherman. I can fold it up and get out of my way while paddling. If I find a spot for fishing I just pop it out and cast it out and it works like a charm.
You dont have all the line gettin twisted and tangled
Thank you, Jan

Great fishing pole! Easy to store! My son is amazed how compact and handy it is. Fast shipping! Very pleased with my purchase. I would buy from this seller again.

I got the pocket fisherman for my cat. It worked 1 time.I cast the line for my cats to chase and that was it.this would be one of the best cat toy if it worked

I love this fishing rod. It goes everywhere and can handle light nibbles to reeling in the big ones. Never would have believed it if I hadn't used it myself, so I gotta go ahead and recommend this item!

i hooked up 3-4 times but the reel is not fine tuned enuff to drag a battle to more than a few seconds. the reel gets stuck and i will lose the line and the fish - end of story for every story. the pocket rod aims for versatility but its small size doesn't yield enuff to keep your line. not even close to a nice try. btw, sender shipped promptly to make it smooth transaction. 1 star for seller - 0 star for the toy.

Bought the Ronco Pocket Fisherman for a family vacation. The kids loved it. Tons of fun fishing for flip flops in the condo. It comes with a rubber weight attached for safety. But, it was just the right size to hook a flip flop. Oh yeah, we also caught some fish with it later in the week.

I received my Ronco Pocket Fisherman within days and it's exactly as it was described. I just love it and appreciate the quick shipping.

I remember the Pocket Fisherman from my childhood. I have never owned one before. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to try it out but I am really impressed with the design. It is well made, small and highly functional. I am looking forward to trying it out. YouTube has videos of people catching BIG fish with the Pocket Fisherman. I don't think you will be disappointed. I would highly recommend this product!
