You know he does! For years he went with the Popel Pocket Fisherman but now he's switched to the Barbie Rod. Ozz is actually supported by these people and fishes in a pink & purple shirt with a picture of Barbie on it!
ELKIN, N.C. — David Hayes' granddaughter just ask him to hold her Barbie rod and reel while she went to the bathroom.
He did. And seconds later he landed the state record channel catfish at 21 pounds, 1 ounce.
Alyssa's father had bought the pink Barbie fishing rod for Christmas and she had caught a few bluegill before her grandfather hauled in the catfish.
The Winston-Salem Journal reported the catch Aug. 5 in eastern Wilkes County has been certified as a record by the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
Hayes and his granddaughter have been fishing in the pond behind his house since she was big enough to hold a pole.
Hayes says his granddaughter worried he would break her rod. He landed the 21-pound fish on a 6-pound test line. It was 32 inches long, 2 inches longer than the rod.

That reminds me I was on Jesco lake fishing with my 8 year old daughter Alexas and she was using a barbie pole. She got a bite and it ripped her pole right out of her hand. it happen so fast I didnt have time to grab it. She looked at me looked back at the water and busted out crying. I had to go get her a new one. I tried to find it but couldnt snag it.
