Is It Worth Owning A Pen Fishing Rod?

In the world of clever fishing gadgets comes an interesting item called the Pen Fishing Rod. It is in fact, a fishing rod that is shaped like an over-sized pen and converts into a small fishing pole. At first a person may want to laugh and pass over such an item, but careful review may reveal a place for this small angling rod in your arsenal.

This telescoping alloy rod fits in nearly any small space, yet when fully extended it can have the full range and motion of an ultralight fishing rod. This makes the Pen Fishing Rod a nice rod for ice fishing or any small tackle application that an ultralight pole would be used in.

The size of this fishing rod makes travel with it easy. This rod could in fact be a wise purchase if you are biking or hiking near fishing waters. Having a fishing pole the size of a pen allows you to travel light and unencumbered, while giving you an opportunity to enjoy your travel method and still get some casting in before days end.

Keep the Pen Fishing Rod in the glove box of your car or briefcase. A quick lunch break near a stream, pond, or lake could afford you an opportunity to catch a small mouth bass or two before heading back to the office. The many uses of this small sized rod are limited only by your imagination.

The construction of this fishing rod varies depending on which manufacturer type you look at. Surprisingly for it's size, some are made of solid materials like bronze reel snaps and even a brass-finished reel. Also some manufacturers will even provide a small amount of tackle that includes hooks, line, sinkers and bobber.

All in all I would have to say that a Pen Fishing Rod would be a good rod to have on hand, when the intended use is a realistic use. That is using the rod as an ultra-light pole and not a regular sized rod. When used in this manner you can not only enjoy the various situations that a small, telescoping rod is best used for, but you can also have fun finding new situations you can use it in too.
