Gas Saving Tip!
Idling gets you 0 miles per gallon. The best way to warm up a vehicle is to drive it. No more than 30 seconds of idling is needed. Anything more simply wastes fuel and increases emissions

The original boxes have "The Troll'r®" imprinted on them but someone has printed a small piece of paper with "Rocket Troll'r" imprinted on it and glued it over the name "The Troll'r®". A few of the papers with the new name have fallen off. You can tell by the discoloring of the piece of paper that it was done many years ago, why they did this is anyones guess.
   
Our research suggests that the "The Troll'r®" was made in the mid to late 1960's or possibly in the early 1970's because the post office started using 5 digit zip codes in 1963 and there is a 5 digit zip code on the original box the "The Troll'r" comes in.
  
Also it appears to be prior the advent of bar coding which according to Wikipedia was officially rolled out at 8:01 AM on June 26th 1974 at a Marsh Super Market in Troy Ohio on a 10 pack of Wrigley's gum (which is in the Smithsonian Institution now) but according to some information bar codes where tested from 1966 on, in various stores.
The nose cone is embossed with "PACER PRODUCTS HOPKINS MINN" while the box and paper instructions say "STA-STITE CORP. ST. BONIFACIUS, MN. 55374 ".
Sorry but it is very difficult to see the embossing in these 2 photos.
I guess it's the super antique fishing lure aid of all time or at least that period of time, it actually claims to be every fisherman's dream on the original box.
It is rocket shaped, with fins, shaped, motorized and battery operated, lure swimmer or trolling machine. Originally made for the shore fisherman or boater without a motor, but can be used by anyone in any type of boat in areas where it is difficult or impossible to operate the boat.
And it really works, all you have to do is install a battery.
Size "D" or "AA" batteries fits inside the "TheTroll'r®" and make it run. We recommend the "AA" battery, at least this is what we use in our demo model of "The Troll'r®".
 
You can catch those big ones that are beyond casting range or in places that the boat can't get into. We did a demo and had a "The Troll'r" out 302 feet from the dock we where fishing from.
Besides being a unique way to actually catch fish the "The Troll'r®" is an antique fishing aid (like an antique fishing lure) that will impress your friends and co-workers or you can give it to someone as a birthday; anniversary; graduation or opening day of fishing season gift, plus Thanksgiving day gift, Christmas or New Years day gift. |

Below are pictures of a box that the "TheTroll'r®" comes in (BOX IT WAS ORIGINALLY SOLD IN). It is a picture of the box in the best condition of all of the boxes in the shipment we received. Some of the boxes are in very bad condition. Unfortunately we can not guarantee what condition the box will be in for every order. There was water damage to all the boxes the "The Troll'r"s where in but no damage to the "The Troll'r®" and almost no damage to the instructions on how to use the "The Troll'r".
When you order a "The Troll'r®" we can not take the time to sort through and pick out the box in the best condition, we will send you which ever box we grab.
   
   
Unfortunately it is difficult to see the damage to the box in these pictures but there is more damage than it appears like in the photos.
One thing I should mention is the learning curve if you want to try it out fishing. There is a learning curve, or at least for me there was. I believe that children under 12 might have a some difficulty with the "The Troll'r®", and possibly 13 to 16 year olds too.
That said I am in my 60's and my learning curve may have been due to my age and compared to me the kids might pick it up very easily after a few test runs, who knows.
It is a great gift you can give to any fisherman of any age and they will get a big kick out of it, I guarantee it! |
