My new rod and reel hahaha
Submitted by tailor marc on Fri, 2008-08-01 23:47
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

I was thinking about getting one of those to
take to Egypt. But it didn't have enough line capacity to allow me to fish from the cruise boat we were on. But they are cool.

Ive seen these in fishing shops in Japan... the ones that are well engineered can be $$$$$$$$$$. The ones with Hello Kitty on the side are cheaper ;-)
