The Pen Fishing Rod. A fishing rod tucked away in a tiny pen format? Yowsers. It’s telescopic, aluminium and extends to a whopping four feet long (1.2 m). But who needs to carry around a tiny fishing rod just in case they suddenly get the urge to fish? Fishaholics? We’re confused (yet again). £24.95.
A quite amazing feat of micro engineering, this sleek pen is actually a telescopic aluminium rod that extends out from the case to a full 4’/1.2m # The attendant miniaturised reel is fully functional, with line brake/clutch and switchable ratchet so you can use if left- or right-handed # The retracted rod measures 8″/20.5cm long including pen-style lid # Supplied with 80’/25m of 5lb/2.5kg break-strain line and spinner hook.
…but then again who ever thought the Popeil Pocket Fisherman would sell? It’s a nice looking reel.
This would be the perfect ‘gag’ gift for my Dad and my Uncle who both live to fish. Pretty nifty.
Just make sure they don’t go deep water fishing with it, Jaynie. Just in case. :-)
the perfect blue gill slayer lol.

I think those are pretty cool! There's also a larger 4' 9" or 57" version called the Pen Rod Extreme made by http://penfishingrods.com& a new 5' 3" 2009 model being fabricated as well. There's over 24 videos from all over the world on youtube.com showing happy customers catching a variety of species of different sized fish with those rods & reels.
