Amazon.com Product Description
When you cast it, blast it with the Rocket Rod--the fishing system that accurately casts its line up to 30 feet. Just point the Rocket Rod and let it fly. The patented design and rugged ABS construction will stand up tough to outdoor use. A safety bobber all but eliminates snags by hiding the hook until it hits the water. Once the bobber lands on the water, the lure/bait compartment opens to drop the lure/bait to the desired depth. It features a built-in reel, 6-pound line, and a storage compartment in handle for tackle pack and extra bobber. It's recommended for ages 8 years and older. 
Propels unique safety bobber up to 30 feet. |  |

 Piece O' Junk May 8, 2008
Bought this for 5-yr-old for a vacation at the lake. It casts and it's fun to see how far it might go, but that's where all smiles ended. It constantly tangled and the reel kept falling apart. It was a pain to keep fixing and trying to put back together. We spent more time fixing than fishing. We returned it to the store immediately upon return from our vacation. Do yourself a favor and go pick up a $10 theme fishing rod from Walmart that comes with a little tackle box. It will be more enjoyable for everyone.
 Great starter Rod March 17, 2008
I bought 2 of these for both young children. I was impressed on how easy it was to use. For a very young child it may be a little heavy but still with some help would be manageable. Good quality, easy to use, user friendly and for the price really can not go wrong considering an average kids fishing pole/real kit runs $20+-.
Well worth the investment for those "Help dad, I caught a tree again" children. Recommended
 a fishing rod?!!! December 29, 2007

my daughters are 8 years old-this is not an item for them!!! We were all disappointed-we always go fishing, and my girls begged to have these. They shoot out about 20 feet, which is right in front of your feet, and they catch nothing!!! They do better with a rod and reel, and live bait. We have told everyone not to buy them, unless you have children who are 2 years old and want to act like they are fishing-otherwise, not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fogo Rocket Rod Jet Cast Fishing Rod
Our 6 year old grandson asked Santa for this Fishing Rod. He was thrilled to receive it Christmas morning. He mentioned to Santa that "it would go (cast out) 30 miles out into the water". Highly recommend to "young" fishermen. Patricia Taylor, Veneta, Oregon
not as good as it sounds December 3, 2007

I was very excited at the concept of such a rod and bought three--one for each of my sons (ages 10-4). however, after trying these, we discovered it was very difficult for even our oldest to set up himself and they kept getting tangled and jammed. we had problems with the hook not releasing when it hit the water too. we took them out on a fishing trip with a group of our friends--I have to give them credit--every child wanted to try this rod, but for the work we had to put into each cast I would honestly just go back to a regular rod. it's a nice novelty item that still needs a little work.
