My new rod and reel hahaha

I was scaning ebay a few weeks ago and found these little minature fishng rods.

I thought they were just ornamentle but have since discoverd that they are infact usable rod and reel :lol:

Might have to try hook a little bream from one of the jettys around mosman park . Hell even a blowie would be fun :lol:

Im going to load it up with 2 pound line and see what the biggest fish i can catch on it :lol:

Folded down in the pen like state its about 15cm and extended its about a meter lol!

99c on ebay :lol:

Rod and Fish

One advantage, if you caught a fish and than aligned it against the rod and reel, no matter what you caught, would look really impressive Tongue out
