That 'toy' qualifies as crap.
And it also qualifies as a gun, which some parents find giving their
children objectionable.
That aside, I think the gimmick that it is a projectile toy is more
than the gimmick that it is a unique fishing rod...
My friend Gil is a fishing guide. His three year old grandson was given one
of these by one of his aunts. Gil said the reel actually isn't too bad for
a spincast reel.
What we both find hilarious is the kid won't use it for fishing, he'd rather
hunt the family cat with it! Precocious little bugger.
Gil said that as a fishing tool, it's crap, but for cat hunting, it's pretty
good! :-)
