Super budget, compact rod to throw under the car seat

Hey everyone,

Thought I'd share something I stumbled across in my junk mail. I remember seeing ads for these a few years ago, and while they're obviously not the best rods by far, I figured it was something I could just keep under the passenger seat in the Pulsar for my little nephew to play around with when we go on little adventures out and about. I remember having a telescopic rod when I was a kid and thinking it was the most amazing thing ever. 

For about $25 all up including shipping, I figured it was worth a shot. And since it's telescopic, I don't have to worry about accidently snapping the rod when absent mindedly filling up the boot with junk. Being stuck in the car with a grumpy 7 year old is not pleasant!

 My missus got me one of these for Christmas....I haven't used it yet, but I'll sell it to you for 5 bucks if you can be bothered to drive to my place and check it out:) I'm serious, shoot me a pm. It's taking up valuable shelf space.

 Ah Fisharoo, wish I'd seen your post earlier! But I sunk money into it and ordered one with a bunch of other cheap toys for the kids.
