Take a look at this video :lol:

Kinda skeptical about it cause its not really teaching them to use a rod and reel proper, but yet still looks like would be fun for kids to try.

It actually shoots the lure and some tube opens up to let lure out..but who knows how well all these options lasts with abuse,time,etc?

Anyone purchased these for their kids and used quite frequently?

I bought one for my son it lasted about 20 minutes before it was broken. I fixed it then he broke it again. The thing is a piece of junk. Ok ill be honest my wife bought it for my son. The thing is JUNK dont waste your cash

Oh boy....kid's are getting weapons with the greatest of ease :shock: As for the poor quality, i look at it as saving a child's eyesight. Parents should be teaching their children to learn fishing the right way.

Which part broke on this? Curious for a young lad with ADD who has had problems with learning to use other reels proper. Will have to supervise the kids with these of course,as slop mentioned they could be dangerous to eyes. Age 8 and up is recommended, hopefully they stated parental supervision and warnings of misuse in the learning DVD provided and package?
