I talked briefly to a guy who had a short fishing rod with an orange
slingshot on top of it to shoot the bait out over the water instead of
casting it with the traditional overhand rod motion.

I've heard of the technique being used for salt water surf fishing
before. I've never heard of the slingshot being on the rod. Sounds
as if it may be something he's invented and doesn't want to talk about
before getting it into production or selling the patent to a major
company.

And it doesn't sound as if it'll be much more of a big seller among
most long time fishermen than the Bassomatic was. Gimmicky.
