In Japan, we found this fishing rocket slip float that we cant wait to test in our American waters. This thing FLIES FAR! The purpose of this rocket is to make long and accurate casts to fish deep waters. Similar to the slip float we always use, this should be really effective in my fishing spots.

If you want to try out this Fishing Rocket for yourself, we brought home some from Japan for you to try. Check our website for the full Fishing Rocket bundle!
