I remember the PF. At the time, for the same 19.95 you could get an ABU on an Ugly Stick with enough change left for a Schlitz tall boy. Always felt like the infomercial guys were the ones that flunked out of used car salesman school. RIP  Ron.

Favorite Ronco product of all time. Boy I wanted one as a kid. In hindsight except for a travel rod option probably was a bad deal to try and really fish it. Actually saw one being sold at Jacob's  cave swap meet. Didn't  buy it.

Have two. One still in golf bag, frog hula popper attached. They work.

What DID you buy?    

After all these years living here my wife finally drug me out to that "event" a couple years ago because a friend of hers was selling Tupperware there.   

Never again.  🙄

If you don't like being around people it's not the place to be.. lots of junk sellers,, but some interesting stuff hidden amongst the junk.. Picked up things like a hand forged axe for my son, rabbit cages, antique tools, etc. Never found any chickens or rabbits that we just had to take home.

Well if you find yourself that close to my place again, for crying out loud Stop By ! 

I've got some cool stuff you can filter through, and it's all for sale 😁 Plus, there's free beer and iced tea.

Crap, all I got was a good memory and a fishin trip.  You have cool stuff there too....

The Pocket Fisherman was legendary.  It set the way for the many piece rods we have today.  Whoever thought of traveling with something that catches fish so small and keeping it close so we could do so.  He made us think "small".

Hats off to him, RIP with many Kudos.

A staple in every golf bag for years....  RIP.
