Pen Fishing Rod

This is a remarkable little gadget - a portable fishing rod that fits in a glovebox or even a coat pocket. It's not "full-size" and you couldn't use it for catching sharks, but at 4ft extended (approx 1.2m), it's definitely useable.

The miniaturised reel is fully functional with a switchable ratchet (so you can use it right or left-handed) and line brake/clutch - something of an engineering masterpiece. The rod is made from aluminium alloy, has seven fibreglass draws that retract inside the handle for stowage (the reel detaches). A pen-style lid fits on top, giving a total length of just 8".

Comes supplied with 5-lb (2.5kg) breaking-strain line and a spinner hook. Always be prepared with one of these handy.
