Give me top 5 gimmickiest gimicky fishing equipment?
(Pocket fisherman, squirt bait, etc.) Just seen a new one today. Easy-2-hook. You just wrap your line around this thingamajig on the hook. Says it’s stronger than the palomar knot. HA! List your top 5 gimickiest fishing things you’ve seen yet!
1) “The best kept fishing secret”.
Out of all gimmicks, this one gotta be number one. A scientific breakthrough that guarantees that you will catch more fish! Its “the best kept fishing secret” and it only costs “under” $300.

Geez! People been using light to attract fish since who knows when. Who would’ve imagined its merely a way over priced submersible underwater light!
2) The Pocket Fisherman.
“The biggest fishing invention since the hook..”. This one is almost self explanatory. It started when $20 is more than enough to fill up a Honda car and it’s been ripping people off since. Just look at the age of this TV commercial.
A product that doesn’t really work as promised could manage to stay in the market that long is a real miracle. In case you are interested, its still $19.95. LOL
3) Banjo Minnow!
This one is kind of self explanatory. I don’t know much about the newer Banjo Minnow 2006. The original Banjo Minnow was merely a simple soft plastic jerk bait which actually works. It just don’t work as well as shown on TV and it’s way over priced.

4) The Instant Fisherman!
“The one and only rod and reel…”. They wanted a piece of Pocket Fisherman’s pie and I think they did pretty good job at it.

5) This one will be very different from others. It wasn’t something endorsed by Roland Martin like The Rocket Fisherman or The Helicopter Lure. It wasn’t being marketed by companies like Ronco. Nor is it Bionic Minnow or The Flying Lure. Instead, this product came from a very reputable company specialized in fishing equipments. Most of their products worked great. Normally, one wouldn’t even expect a company like this would hit below the belt. Ever heard the line, “You feel everything. Fish see nothing.”? Well, this is a partially correct statement from Berkley describing their Fireline Crystal.
Fish can see this line pretty well. People can not see this line from certain angles once the line was underwater. It doesn’t really cast that well. It is possible that the line will slip on your spool. The line could also dig into the line on the spool too. Well, at least Fireline Crystal costs a lot less now.
