LOL....I found this like new Popeil Pocket Fisherman yesterday at a Yard sale for $2.00. It still has it's "tackle" contents in a little bag in the handle storage area. I'd never seen a black & white one before. I had one years ago that was sort of a mustard yellow & white.

I gave it to Granddad and he used it to slay Yellow Suckers in the creek. He loved it.

If memory serves the guts on some of them were made by Johnson.

I remember as a kid seeing a friend of mine from Boy Scouts at Myrtle Beach, SC on one of the piers down there fishing with a Pocket Fisherman!

He had just hauled in a stingray and was cutting its tail off. Was casting the Pocket Fisherman off the pier with a 2 oz pyramid sinker on it...I was amazed that it held up!

Apparently they still make them along with a few other versions.

I got one for Christmas in 1977, or '78.

I still have it, and it still works.
