Forget Bonding with Nature. Here's the Future of Fishing!

[FrankB2]

Especially useful for folks like me with a sore shoulder! This rod will cast the heaviest nymph, and drop it into a Dixie cup.

I have a few clients that could make good use of that.
Spending $700. on a rod when you can't cast, and won't practice, is silly.
$40. bucks and you're in there!
Perfect for night fishing too.
Hell, I want one!
I wonder how often Roland uses his?
Thanks for the chuckle Frank.

I'll get one if Wile E. Coyote approves the improved Acme Products version of it.

LOL!!! Overhanging branches are no longer a problem with this baby! You could even go Navy SEAL, and launch one from underwater.

 

[Bigfly]

Doesn't the Navy use something like this to toss a line between ships at sea?
Reminds me of the K-Tell pocket fisherman.
Still wish I had bought on of those.

Frank: That would be perfect for my 3 year old grandson! He would have a blast firing that thing off.

Hey Guys. I thought this would get some Friday afternoon attention.

Forget Wile E. Coyote. Rodney Dangerfield came back from the dead to endorse this thing. Said it's almost as sweet as the putter he used in "Caddshack".

Larry,
When I was a kid, we would have shot hooks at each other, rather than fishing....

Here's the not yet released big game version:

That would work well at Pyramid lake when it's windy, to get way past the lineup.
(Or even clear a spot)
Probably back in the pricey range though.

 

[racine]

Anyone know if they make it in Boron?

 

[Vans]

Well, since Roland Martin endorsed it, it gotta be good! My crazy casting days are over!

Being new to Rocket Fishing I have some questions:

1. Would these be available in a three weight, I fish mostly small creeks for brook trout.
2. If I were to choose a heavy duty model for fall steelhead fishing what line would you recommend?
3. I tie my own flies and couldn't help noticing the ducks swimming by in the video, do you think this would kill a duck?

This is a really great forum and you guys are really great, I will watch for your answers.

Can it be used with the helicopter lure and the banjo minnow as well?

 

[Sasha]

I want to know if they make this thing in a 0wt

 

[FlyBum]

I want one for me and my son...but there goes any hope of me developing a custom rod building business after I get good enough at building.:upset:

 

[FrankB2]

Dinosaurs Need Not Apply...

Ard,
This fishing rocket represents the future, and AFFTA line weights are no longer useful. Instead, you need to think in terms of caliber: 51mm being a light fishing rocket, and 80mm doing nicely for steelhead. Ducks have as much chance in the future as the dodo bird did in the past, and will fall under the heading of collateral damage. I'm not saying that it would be sporting to intentionally aim the fishing rocket at a duck, but once the warhead has been released, all forms of life will be "judged" by their ability to assess danger and move accordingly.

So what exactly entices the fish to bite? Other than the delicious plastic rocket that is blasted directly at them, that is.

I thought it was trashy...'til I saw the secret compartment!!!.
Now I just need to get that number into my auto-dialer.
