"Instant Fishermen" - Infomercial

If you have seen the infomercial, you'll know what I mean when I say, what a JOKE! It's almost a disgrace to fishermen! http://www.instantfisherman.net/ Take a look for yourself. Can you believe they sell this unit for $40.00 plus shipping? I seriously can not get over what a joke this is?

It's absolutely hysterical, please check it out.

As long as here are infomercials there are those that purchase junk. The infomercial industry is a huge money maker. I only wish that I thought of any one of their items.

There is always someone out there who is more than happy to separate you from you money.  As my father was fond of saying, "A fool and his money are soon parted."  Although, if Orvis came up with a collapsible fly rod and reel combo, maybe.......... Nah, it would cost way more than $40.00.  Heck the line alone would cost more than that.
 
What is interesting to me is the apparent need to be ready to fish at an instant.  The rod and reel are one thing, but what about tackle.  Is there an Instant tackle?  Collapsible lures?  Instant bait???  Folding hooks?.  I guess what I am saying is, having a rod and reel is one thing, but if you don't have any terminal tackle, the rod and reel are about as useless as tits on a turtle.
 
Of course, there is the other issue of fishing while playing golf... I love that.  One can only imagine your golfing partners wanting to wait for you while you fished all the water hazards....  I can hear it now, "Yea, just a couple of more casts, guys.  That big bass took a swipe at my jitterbug the last time it passed the lilly pad."
 
I guess in defense of this thing, there is a portion of the market that would find the Instant Fisherman a useful device.  If you only occasionally fished, travelled a lot and wanted an inexpensive compact rod and reel set up, it might just be the ticket. 
 
I must admit, I would love to see one of these things first hand.  It may be an interesting novelty.
 

Saw one of those Dave. Be something to carry while golfing. Realy compact.
That other one looks like the old pocket fisherman.

$19.95, money back guarantee, we have been hearing this stuff since the 70s.and most people say, oh well it only 20 bucks, through it in a drawer and that it....
 
BIG MONEY!!!!!

When I used to golf, an ice fishing rod, two spinnerbaits and a handful of rubberworms were always in my bag.  When there was a backup and my group was near the ponds, it was time to fish.  One of the ponds had some very large Northerns in it and we used to catch them regularly.

"even a shark!!!"
 

 
 

luv to see it on  screen   nice stuff.
 

found it...http://youtube.com/watch?v=BcvXbbUxoWk&feature=related...not 2-3 lbers like i thought but 1-2lbers arent bad for a pensize collapsable rod...

Believe it or not, the Pedegg is great! They carry it in the "as seen on tv" section at Walgreens. Crusty feet run in my family (pun fully intended) and I can remember back when I was a little kid, my dad would soak his feet and then use his pocket knife to cut away the thick skin on his heel. I've been doing that because no lotions or rubs had really helped, and the first time I used PedEgg I was amazed how well it worked.

Now I can put my belt sander back with the tools! ;)
