I’ve never needed a novelty product more in my entire life.
There are truly some impressive, creative minds out in the world. It’s always intriguing to see modern-day inventions take off. I feel like most things we use in our everyday lives have been in existence for quite some time now, so it’s not every day that you get to see a revolutionary new product be born.
Seriously though… besides virtual-reality and Nerds Gummy Clusters, what else of substance has been invented in the past couple of years?
Oh, I’ll happily answer that question myself. Without further ado, I present to you the life-changing, never-seen-before, “Pole-In-One” from Bass Pro Shops. Leave to the organization that occupies one of the many pyramids in the world (long live the Bass Pro Shops Pyramid in Memphis, Tennessee) to create a discrete and incredibly useful item for the golf course.
Basically, Bass Pro Shops recognized that most golf courses have bodies of water out on the links, and what often lies within those? Golf balls… but other than that, fish. And because golf courses are often exclusive, and you’re not allowed to fish there, these fish are rarely ever sought after with a jig and a pole. The bass in there get BIG. That’s where the Pole-In-One comes in.
For golfers that have an extra minute while making the loop, or for those that just want to cast a couple of times to see if anything bites, the $79 fishing pole disguised as a golf club can really come in handy:
“Finally! A fishing pole made for golfers- the Bass Pro Shops Pole-In-One Spinning Travel Combo easily fits into most golf bags and comes with discreet plush bass head cover. Perfect for throwing a line out in between holes when you’re out on the course dying to know what’s beneath the water in that dang pond!”
How did they know that I was wondering what lied beneath the water of that dang pond?
They say that some of the best inventions that have ever been thought up were things that people had no idea they needed. People didn’t even know how luxurious pre-sliced bread would be until they no longer had to cut their loafs. Human beings had no clue they yearned to stay in touch with every person they’ve ever crossed paths with until social media was invented. And golfers never guessed that they’d be able to both fish and golf until Bass Pro Shops rolled out the “Pole-In-1.”
You might be asking… why don’t golfers just take a fishing pole with them when they hit the links? Fair question, but I’d say most golf courses wouldn’t allow for golfers to just carry a fishing pole onto the course along with their clubs. That’s why the secret fishing rig in the “Pole-In-One” is an absolute stroke of brilliance. The starter on the first tee would never suspect that the golf club could actually be a fishing pole. And if they do find out that you are wetting lines while you make your way around the course?
Sometimes it’s better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
