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.

LOL !!

You're a hoot #1, hasn't it occurred to you that those commercials
could have run without you being there in the 60's to see them ?

Definitely occurred to me, thanks for asking. I can't answer
when the pocket fisherman commercials started running, but
they were definitely running in the mid-late 70's. It's possible
that they were running for 10+ years.
