The Family Fishing Company
Instant fisherman is an instant piece of junk

My son loves to fish.in fact, he would rather have his line in the water than doing anything else. When he saw this product, he couldn't wait to purchase it. He used his own money that he saved up from working odd jobs and allowance. I cautioned him about buying items from infomercials but he was sure that he wanted it and said that it had to be a good product because of the 10 year warrantee.

I went to the web site and couldn’t believe the ordeal I had to go through just to order the stupid thing. There were multiple pop-up pages asking to purchase additional items and the shipping and handling charges were outrages. I looked for a way to cancel the order, but that is not an option once you start down the path and they get the credit card info @ the beginning of the process. And buy one get one free, what a joke. My son ended up paying $63.74.

The day my son received the package in the mail, he had to go try it out. I took him down to a nearby fishing spot and, well it work just ok. It seemed very cheaply made and was not smooth as you would suppose for what it cost. The second time he went to use the product, it would not cast more than 10 feet. What a let down for a boy who loves the sport of fishing. This company should be run out of business. My hope is that this review will stop at least one person for making the same mistake.

We are within our 30 days, so we will be able to get our money back minus shipping and handling, $39.90 out of $63.74. Hopefully the return will go better than the purchase, but somehow I doubt that it will.
