5.0 out of 5 stars add a weight and it works great, June 4, 2010

I had read the reviews for the Rocket Rod - people saying that the hook didn't come out like it should... so I added a weight on my line. It certainly doesn't launch very far, but that's not such a big deal if you're fishing from a good dock or a boat. I was laughed at by the seasoned fisherman as I walked by with my kid's Bow Rod, but they changed their tone when I was pulling in croakers longer than the width of my ice chest. I couldn't believe it caught them either, but I posted a pic of one of them.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Poor Design and Does Not Work as Advertised, May 31, 2011

My son got this product for Christmas and he thought it was great from the commercials blasted before the holiday season. So we just tried this out this past memorial day weekend (the ice just went out here in Minnesota) and this product is absolutely worthless. It does not cast 30 feet and the bobber that is supposed to open up and drop the line down does not open and the line, or sinker, or hook, or bait with catch somewhere on the opening of the bobber and the bait and hook will not drop down. How many fish are going to bite on a baited hook that is inches from the water surface and some crazy bobber - none!

I emailed and called SpinMaster and they will not stand behind their product. They say they only have a 30 day warranty from date of purchase and even though we just open the package they won't do a thing. Further they have discontinued this product - most likely because it does not work.

Stay away from this product and SpinMaster. They are a company that loves to take your money but won't stand behinds its products when they fail to meet the advertised claims.

The set up looks pretty good, but it does not reel up all the way into the shaft by itself, it has to be guided in through the two eyes. Not a good setup for a little one. I bought it for my grand daughter who is 3... maybe she is too young for it? However, it does shoot pretty good.
