Toys and Games Reviews of Fogo Rocket Rod Jet Cast Fishing Rod
Customer Review: Don't waste your money like I did.
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this for my son who loves to fish with his Grandpa after intense lobbying. My son really wanted to be able to cast on his own like the grownups. He was so excited about this product and was devastated that no one - including the grownups could get the necessary items for tackle in the "pocket" yet still in a position where a fish could be caught. It does cast - but there is no way to actually catch a fish with it. Don't waste your money.

Customer Review: A big hit
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: Great for kids
Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Customer Review: Piece of junk, Roland Martin, shame on you...
Summary: 1 Stars
The rod itself feels cheaply made, all plastic, but I guess that's to be expected with a TOY like this. And yes, the safety button is an issue for smaller kids. But the biggest problem comes when the line tangles inside the reel, and believe me, it will happen. Incredibly time consuming to try and resolve the issue to get your child fishing again, and that's IF you can figure out how to make it work. Good/fun concept, horrible execution. You've been warned...Customer Review: Great product, little tricky
Summary: 4 Stars
My six year old just received this for his birthday and he loves it. This product is not necessarily marketed for kids though. There is a safety on it that has to be pressed when launching it, so it does require a little bit of coordination. It is a little difficult for him to do, but not as hard as casting a regular rod. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone younger than my son though, unless he or she was highly coordinated. Still a great product overall!
