I wish you hadn't reminded me of that. I distinctly remember the
pocket fisherman being much later than the 60's! Or maybe I'm
getting
that much older! :] Actually I think it would work out nice for a
quick backpacking pole in a pinch.


It was later.

I dunno....the ad sure looks like the 60s.

It was definitely later. I remember the commercials and
I wasn't around in the 60's. Had to be mid-late 70's for
me to remember.

I recall a former brother in law getting one from his father for Christmas
in the early 80's....
