 Perfect for Kids May 10, 2007

I bought this for Rocket Rod on two separate occasions for two of my nephew's birthdays and they loved it! It was perfect for them. They are both 7 years old and really enjoy fishing. These rocket rods really made fishing fun for them. Although, to me, nothing beats the regular rod and reel, from a kid's standpoint, these things are fantastic. It really does shoot close to 30 feet. I'd recommend this for kids.

I bought this at Wal-Mart for my 4-year-old who LOVES to fish. It's true what the package says and that it's not for children under 8. As hard as he tried he was not able to cast it himself. It requires quite a bit of strength and coordination in order to cast it. And it's heavier than a normal fishing rod so that made it more difficult for him. I still thought I'd hold on to it for a while to give him some time and maybe he'd get better at it but I didn't get the chance. Only after 6-7 casts the darn thing broke. I didn't even ask my husband to see if he could fix it. Back to the store it went; we'll stick to a regular pole and just keep doing the casting for him.
 Don't buy it. May 7, 2007

Our twins bought two of these with their own money. Neither worked as advertised. Both broke on the first outing. This toy was a big disappointment.

I purchased two of these rocketrods for my two youngest. I didn't expect much, or expect them to work very well, but I was pleasantly surprised! They were very easy to use, even for my five year old. For once, I was able to sit back and enjoy the view and not spend hours respooling fishing line, pulling hooks out of trees/clothes/passersby! Very, very nice! Especially used with a really good fish repelent, oh, I mean bait!
Buy one. You won't be sorry!
 A big hit May 6, 2007

I purchased this for my great nephew as a birthday gift. He had seen it on TV and requested it. It was big hit at the birthday party and he has used it once and had a great time. He is looking forward to this summer and getting a lot more great use out of the Fogo Rocket Rod. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 because I am fly fisherman and I guess I am snobbish when it comes to fishing equipment. However, my wife who also fly fishes said she would love to have one, so who knows.
