Pressman Toy International 0055J Let's Go Fishing

This was bought for our six year old, extremely active son who is extremely energetic and loves boisterous play. The game managed to keep him transfixed, quiet for over an hour and has provided an exercise in dexterity and concentration. The various colours of the fish help keep individuals in track of their conquests and the revolving mechanism, though predictable, manages to keep the players alert. The only down side of this toy is that the rods are very flimsy and are easily broken. Once they are broken, the plastic rods are impossible to fix.the rest of the toy is well made, the fish are a good size and fit well in the grooves. Neat and simple packaging with minimal wastage. Overall, a nice game for those very active kids for when they are stuck indoors!

I give this 5 stars as it keeps my lad entertained for ages, and also helps with hand/ eyee co-ordination. We had purchased another version of this game but it was very cheap, and just broke within a few weeks.This model has stood up to the worst my 2 year old can throw at it. We have had one fish break, but only because he stood on it, cant really fault that.Great little game, and of good quality. I even have a little fish on my own sometimes.

The media could not be loaded. A brilliant toy for kids esp. engaging them to play in a group. So pleased I found this one as I’ve seen such toy over 2 decades ago when my cousins used to play and I wanted to buy it since then!The reasons I gave only 4 stars out 5 are:- the so finishing rod’s hanging stick is slightly awkward and therefore need a bit manoeuvring to hook the fish correctly- I wish the price could be a bit cheaper as the kids quickly lose the pieces and you need to buy “C” battery separate!

I HAVE SEARCHED EVERYWHERE FOR THIS PRODUCT BUT WITHOUT SUCESS.WE HAD AN ORIGINAL MODEL BOUGHT IN THE SEVENTIES AND ENJOYED BY MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN, BUT UNFORTUNATELY IT SUFFERED IRREPERABLE DAMAGE AND MY YOUNGEST GRANDAUGHTERS WERE DISTRAUGHT. FOOLISHLY, I PROMISED THEM A REPLACEMENT AND AS TIME HAS PASSED, I HAVE HAD TO EXTEND THE TIME UNTIL fATHER cHRISTMAS DELIVERS.THANKFULLY, HE WILL BE ABLE TO LIVE UP TO MY PROMISE.EXCELLENT PRODUCT, DISPATCHED AND DELIVERED EXPIDITIOUSLY AT A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. THANK YOU.

This is an OK little toy for the price.The 'fish' filled tray, revolves around a base containing raised areas which when travelled over, force the 'fish' to open their mouths, enabling you to use one of the 'rods' to catch it and pull it free. Whoever gets the most fish is the winner.Very simply but is actually really hard. The tray revolves pretty quickly (and is very noisy), so the fish's mouths don't stay open for that long. It's hard for my 3yr old (her third birthday was last week) to catch even a single fish, she keeps having to turn it off. To be honest, it's difficult enough for me as an adult to play it how it's meant to be played. To its credit, it does state on the box that it's for ages 4+ but I'd have issue with even that age...more like 6+. To make it even more difficult, the designers have made each of the 'fishing rods' pivot at the end and move freely, so it's not just a case of putting a rigid plastic stick into the mouth when it opens, you also have inertia to take into account.The other thing worth noting is that this takes a 1.5v 'C' cell battery (the short, dumpy round ones that nobody already has ever has in their cupboard and then has to go out to the shops specifically to buy one, and then they're only sold in 2s). :-) I'm only giving this 3 stars because of the price point...if it was any higher, it'd be down to a 2 star item.

What a great game to share with the little ones. I saw this first in Hamleys, London and then searched for it for Xmas 2018. We still play it at least once a month and it’s a great game for hand eye coordination. Kids love it!!

Great but quite fast for younger children. My (just) 3 year old got frustrated as he didn’t have the hand eye coordination to get the hook in the fishes mouth when travelling at speed. I had to keep stoping it so he could have a go. Great for older children though.

My 3-year-old daughter really liked it but the build quality is very low, it is unbearably noisy, battery lock nut came out in the first opening (I glued the nut back in its place). I don't know if there is a better option in the market but I wouldn't buy that one ever again.
