Default Popeil Pocket Fisherman

From: "Bob La Londe"


| Come on Dave. I have one around somewhere that somebody gave, After
| completely disassembling, cleaning and lubricating it WORKS GREAT... seven
| out of ten casts. I get pretty good distance too. With a measly little 2
| ounce pancake sinker I can cast an amazing 30 or 40 feet almost every time.
| Now about line size. Come on. I have landed 10 pound stripers on 6lb test.
| The pocket Fisherman will handle atleast 10lb with a minimum of snarls. No
| more than three out of ten casts anyway.
|
| Give that bad boy a try. Heck, you land a good fish with it and I'll send a
| letter to IGFA suggesting a NEW RECORD CLASS just for pocket fishermen.

You are being silly Bob.

You are also used to Fresh water. I live on the beach here in Jersey and I know what the
salt water can do to gear.

7 out of 10 casts ? I expect, and I get, 39 or of 40 casts !

30 or 40 feet is a joke. Hell with my 12' Diawa with 17lb. test I can cast a 100 yards
{with the wind at my back :-) } with a 2 1/4 oz. Krocodile or Gator spoon

The thing is a novelty toy and nothing more.
