Sports reviews of Fogo Rocket Rod Jet Cast Fishing Rod
Customer Review: Not what it's cracked up to be
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
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.Customer Review: Not so great.

Well, they looked so cool on TV that I ordered 2 of them and I regret it. It's awkward to get the hook back into the "rocket" once the bait is on. I took my son fishing with them and what we ended up doing is not launching them out of the gun/rod. We left the pod open with the bait on the hook and dropped it into the water and let it drift with the current. I've come to find that buying cheesey little rods and reels are simply a waste of money. If you're going to take a little one out fishing, just use your own and let them reel yours in until their big enough to handle a decent set up. The only reason I gave this 2 stars is because it was a neat IDEA. [...].Customer Review: Cheap Plastic!!!!

I bought two for my sons for Christmas 2007. One of them broke on the first try of cocking the gun!!! I tried to fix it but realized that the mechanism was made of cheap plactic which had snapped in half. The other gun has continued to work fine after several outings, however, we still have not caught any fish with these. Mainly because the bullet which holds the hook has a hard time opening, and then doesnt allow the hook, bait, and weight to sink low enough to attract any fish. Dont waste your money - we pulled out a cheap rod from when I was a kid, and my kids actually preferred that!!!Customer Review: a fishing rod?!!!

my daughters are 8 years old-this is not an item for them!!! We were all disappointed-we always go fishing, and my girls begged to have these. They shoot out about 20 feet, which is right in front of your feet, and they catch nothing!!! They do better with a rod and reel, and live bait. We have told everyone not to buy them, unless you have children who are 2 years old and want to act like they are fishing-otherwise, not worth Review: crap rod instead of rocketSport shop rating: 2 Stars i bought 2 of these and my kids love them but there to hard for them to use,they dont shoot 30 feet they are luck to go 15 feet.they are yet to get a fish on them, the bobber floats way to low in my opinion it scares the fish.they dont work as easy as they show it to!my kids are 5 & 7!i wish i could resale them for half the price so dont waste your money like i did!
