Pressman Let's Go Fishin' Deluxe Game

Poor quality and very difficult to play. It spins far too quickly and the fishes’ mouths barely open.

Sorta works

The game I remember as a kid was magnetic which assisted toddlers in catching the fish. This game has a barrel like shape at the end of the non-flexible poles that you supposed to stick in the animals mouths to catch them. Problem is the mouths barely open and do so infrequently; so catching the fish is hard for myself let alone a toddler.

I played this game as a kid and loved it. I bought it for my toddler a couple of years ago and it was fun. It seemed like it was made cheaper than when I was a child but everything is these days, sadly. We ended up giving our game to a friend and never got it back. That was about two years ago. So we repurchased the game and I don’t know what happened over two years time but the quality of this game is now abysmal. The fish don’t open their mouths and they’re made of cheap plastic that has multiple defects. The motor spins too fast or not at all and keeps getting jammed. It’s almost offensive how bad the quality of this game has become and I’m sad my kids won’t grow up with the quality we had when I was a kid.

I really thought this would be like the game I played when I was little, but no… it spun WAY too fast. The mouths of the fish barely opened. I couldn’t even catch them, let alone my child. This game is terrible. Don’t waste your money.

How could ya not like this game. Its sooo cool !!! All 4 of my grandkids love playing it!

Challenging toy

I’ve grown up on this game & bought multiple brands for people. This one has been the worst so far. The fish in this one don’t open their mouth near wide enough & it spins WAY too fast for a kid. The adults could barely even catch a fish.

Fish mouths don't open big enough for even adults to catch, motor is way too fast. Definitely taking this back

Motor way to fast can't catch fish

Absolutely not the game O had as a kid. Fish don't open their mouth, no magnet to attach to, all pieces are EXTREMELY cheap plastic. Don't buy, returning. if I can't return because my toddler ripped the box, it's being thrown away.

OMG… the anxiety/stress I felt while playing this game was out of control. At first, it would go around in a full circle and then just stop which was super annoying and thought I was going to have to return the game. I then decided to just dump all the fish out and put them back in and the “pond” never stopped once during the duration of the game. However, it spins so fast it’s near impossible to catch any of the fish for me a grown adult let alone my toddler. My toddler refused to let me give up and cheered me on as I spent what seemed like an eternity trying to catch these tiny animatronic fish who barely popped their head up let alone open and close their mouth for longer than a split second. This is where my toddler struggled when she finally was able to catch a fish, but couldn’t pull it up in time would lose the fish. So she turned from competitor to cheerleader. Normally, after a game she always begs to play again… there was none of that.

kids find it very difficult to play

The quality of the pieces of this game seem good upon opening the box. They are all made of plastic, which is to be expected, but it doesn’t seem too bad of quality for the $9 I paid. However, the box says this is for ages 4 and up. Unless your 4 y/o has the fine motor skills of a surgeon and a snake catcher combined, they will only catch maybe two fish every 30 minutes. It took me at least 10 minutes to catch all the fish, and I had to cheat to do it. Despite the pieces seeming to be of a good quality, it seems that the rotating wheel malfunctions and doesn’t allow the fish to open their mouth all the way or for very long. I recommend finding an alternative fishing game like this. My kid lost interest quickly after not really being able to play.

My toddler initially loved this game but unfortunately the quality is terrible. Stopped working after less than a week. Would not recommend.

Very cheaply made.

Cheap quality, spins too fast, difficult to catch fish. Essentially unusable

When it spins, it spins way too fast for the age range. And that is only when it isn't catching and stopping completely. Immediately out of the box it was unplayable. Not sure if I have nostalgia glasses on but this game was amazing when I was a kid. As is standard these companies are cheaping out in the modern day.

This game was purchased to replace one we had for years. I'm so disappointed as the fish barely pop up high enough to "catch" and my kids are really frustrated. the game also gets caught and stops circling around. it affects game play and the quality is seriously lacking.

It stopped working on day three, very disappointing. My grandson loved the game. It moved fast and then slowly started to move slower and slower till not turning on anymore, I changed the batteries and still did not operate.
