Although I have overcome those impulse buys, occasionally I get attracted to something or the other guaranteed to save time, money or labor. LOL. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE ... Now what I do is check Amazon for reviews on the item. That, in itself, has prevented me from buying a certain amount of junk!

I have to admit though, that a long, long, long time ago...I did once buy his 'Pocket Fisherman.'

Amazon.com : Ronco Pocket Fisherman : Baitcasting Rod And Reel Combos : Sports & Outdoors


I am shocked to see...that they're still making them.
