Members JeffBass Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Popiel's Pocket Fisherman. Kept one in my backpack and would stop at Salt Creek on my way home from school to catch some carp. On a good day I'd catch enough to feed the whole family. Ah those were the days...

Members dDigitalPimp Posted November 10, 2009 Members Share Posted November 10, 2009 Master of the "Set it and Forget it" method of food preparation. i passed over an infomercial with mr. t on some new cooking device. they totally ripped this phrase off. they kept saying something along the lines of "set it to cook, and you're off the hook" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JeffBass Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 you serious? OK we didn't eat them but I did catch some massive carp on the way home from school back in the 70's. 10 - 20 pounders. The pocket fisherman worked but there was more torque on your arm which is why real poles are longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MahaloVision Posted November 11, 2009 Members Share Posted November 11, 2009 I used to golf with a guy that kept one in his bag. Never caught anything with it, at least on the course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
