Rocket Fishing Rod

One of the latest innovations to ever hit the angling scene is the rocket fishing rod. This innovative fishing rod basically takes away the hassle of casting your lures into the water by using a system that propels the lure out into the water with a click of a release button. The use of the rocket fishing rod for recreational fishing is ideal since it takes away some of the problems associated with casting and fly fishing techniques.

The rocket fishing pole is one of the best fishing poles around for kids to use since it is a pretty simple rod to operate. In essence, it is like a pump up water gun where you pump the mechanism of the rod up to create the compressed air needed to catapult the lure into the water. Although this is not an ideal rod for serious anglers and sport fishermen, the huge number of kids rocket fishing rod caters to is enough to make the manufacturers happy.

Although the rocket fishing rod is very popular with children, it is not without the quirks and problems that are associated with new inventions and innovations. Some of the stated problems with rocket fishing rod that users claim are that they seldom catch any fish with it. Some users also say that the rod is more of a toy than a true fishing device and that it is only good for use on small ponds and lakes since the lure can only be tossed out a maximum of 30 feet.

The product retails at around $30, and while kids who see the commercial want their parents to purchase the rod for them, parents who do know what angling and fishing is all about hesitate and tell their kids that it is not that good a product to buy, despite there being a well known sport fisherman endorsing it.

While this rod is indeed pretty easy to use, those who have purchased it have a hard time finding a rocket fishing rod repair kit or facility. The rod does have a 30 day money back guarantee, but after that, you are on your own. Some of the problems other people seem to encounter with this kind of a rod are the tangle problems that occur inside the rod itself which requires the owner or the user to open up the entire unit to get at the problem. This does not mean that the item will be fixed, though. The possibility of a damaged rocket fishing rod after a single day of use is high and a lot of owners are dismayed by this.

If you would still like to purchase your own rocket fishing rod to try it out though, there are online stores that do sell this item. You can also buy your Rocket fishing rod at Walmart for a retail price of $27.00.
