Sure, you’ve practiced for hours trying to tighten that loop. But it just isn’t happening.
Your friends laugh. Small children cry. And chicks? Once they see you cast, you can’t get a date. What’s a fly fisher to do?
Put a Rocket in Your Pocket!
From Alert Southeastern Correspondent Ian Rutter comes news of the most ultimate fly fishing tool ever developed so far this week – the Rocket Rod.
You cock it like a pump shotgun. Launch the bobber (with hidden hook). And reel ‘em in!
It’s the best combination assault weapon/kid’s fishing toy ever invented!
And while we have some questions about why Ian was looking at this thing in the first place, we’re too delighted watching the streaming video play over and over and over to care.
Don’t just cast. Blast!!!

Now this is a product the world has been demanding for decades. The bobber can double as a clamp on a set of jumper cables. All it is missing is a perch-scale hand grenade attachment, for those slow days on the water.
As an added bonus, check out the flying monkey – the ad for it is even better.

Imagine its utility on the river when that kinda pushy guy tries to crowd you off your favorite dry fly run.
“I know what you’re thinking. “Did he cast six times or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement I kind of lost track myself. But being as this is a Rocket Rod – the most powerful fishing rod in the world – and would blow your indicator clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?”

This is nothing less than pure awesome. Rumor has it that the graphite version is full auto.
I have always preferred the fast action rod for the lion’s share of my casting, I had not thought that the “pump action” was suitable as an angling taper, having been used primarily for geese and law enforcement.
My lust to own this is unbridled. I think I can spin enough deer hair on a hook shank to get a good seal on the barrel – likely I could get enough foot-pounds of energy at the muzzle to take out the guy that just waded noisily into my dry fly water… A Goddard Caddis at 40 paces is likely lethal.
Please Gawd, Santa …make sure my great aunt who hasn’t seen me in 12 years views the commercial, and mails me one…

Whoa there kbarton – everyone knows fully automatic fly rods are against the law.
The Rocket Rod may have finally forced a critical-yet-long-dormant constitutional issue to the surface:
Are fly rods protected under the Second Amendment?

My memory suggests that the offending item must satisfy, “..some reasonable relationship to the preservation or efficiency of a well regulated militia.”
Anyone unfortunate enough to be near Powerhouse #2 at Hat Creek on Opening Day, would insist that the militia is regulated, just not organized terribly well.
Imagine how many more regiments can fit into that already crowded riffle if we just outfitted them appropriately?
Perhaps this is the proper social issue that the Trout Underground needs to tackle? With your taut marketing prose, you can start a weapons exchange program where you will provide a Rocket Rod for each bamboo or graphite weapon turned in.
….um, I have room in my garage if you don’t…
