Popeil Pocket Fisherman
Does anyone know what the line strength of the Popeil Pocket Fisherman is?
Has anyone used it in salt water for 10 pound salmon? Thanks for the help. Joanne

Small size and NO casting distance ! 10lb test is too lite. Start with 17lb. test for salt water. At best the pocket fisherman is for freshwater and for children. It won't handle the salty environment. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm

Sincerely, Joanne 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.

I don't need to cast since I'll probably just hang it out of the kayak. Shouldn't have to work too hard to get a fish into the boat since the side of the boat is only inches above the water line. I guess I can't go wrong with a $20 investment. If it doesn't work, I'll follow Dave's suggestion and give it to the grandkids. -- Sincerely, Joanne If it's right for you, then it's right, . . . . . for you!!!

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. -- Dave http://www.claymania.com/removal-trojan-adware.html http://www.ik-cs.com/got-a-virus.htm

Dave, I thought the same thing.
Throw that crap out and get a real fishing rod and reel.
