Its core purpose is to provide a ready-to-fish solution for impromptu sessions at streams, from the ice, or by the sea, where carrying a full-sized rod is impractical. Weighing just 55 grams for the rod and 35 grams for the reel, the entire kit offers an exceptionally lightweight experience, reducing arm fatigue during prolonged use. The inclusion of a specialised ST5RL reel with adjustable drag and a side friction button gives anglers tangible control over their line, making it a practical choice for targeting a variety of fish in different environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFeatures and Construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/0dc6764a-4886-4b7a-8c36-67ace692e065.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery component of this kit is selected for its role in creating a compact, functional fishing system. The construction balances durability for the task with minimal weight, focusing on materials that perform reliably in wet conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMaterial and Build\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rod's shaft is constructed from fibreglass, a material chosen for its favourable strength-to-weight ratio, which allows for a sensitive tip while maintaining backbone. The main pole body is made from a grey epoxy material, forming five individual telescopic sections. The guide eyes are a critical contact point; here, a combination of stainless steel frames and Korean porcelain inserts is used. This material pairing is designed to create a smooth, hard surface that minimises friction and heat buildup on the fishing line during casts and retrieves, helping to preserve line integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize and Practical Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe defining feature of this kit is its transformable size. When fully collapsed, the rod measures 20.5 cm in length and is housed in a coloured aluminium alloy pen case, making it truly pocket-sized. Fully extended, it reaches a working length of between 93 and 100 cm, providing sufficient casting distance and control for close to medium-range fishing scenarios. The attached ST5RL reel complements this scale perfectly, with a total length of 7 cm, a body length of 4.5 cm, and a width of 3 cm. This proportional design ensures the kit feels balanced in hand during use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUses and Placement\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/19033c60-e26f-4e12-a989-6226b673eff0.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis rod kit is not intended to replace a specialist heavy-duty setup but excels in scenarios where spontaneity and space are primary concerns. Its design opens up fishing opportunities that might otherwise be missed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEvent or Professional Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor fishing guides or instructors, this kit serves as an excellent compact backup or a loaner rod for teaching basics in confined spaces. Its quick deployment from a pocket or bag means it's always on hand. For competitive ice anglers who need to move quickly between holes with minimal gear, the lightweight nature and short overall length when extended are distinct advantages. The reel's precise brake force adjustment via the end knob allows for fine-tuning drag to match light lines used in clear water or for cautious fish, adding a level of tactical control expected in professional contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eEveryday Home Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor the casual angler, this kit solves the problem of storage and readiness. It can be kept in a car's glove box, an office drawer, or a holiday suitcase, always available for an unexpected fishing opportunity during a lunch break, family picnic, or coastal walk. It is particularly suited for introducing children or beginners to fishing, as its light weight and simple, button-less reel (the handle is integrated) reduce complexity. The variety of pen case colours – including black, blue, gold, purple, red, and silver – allows for personal preference or easy identification if multiple kits are used in a household.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBenefits and Buying Value\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/1b8eb344-8ba3-4566-b66d-bea2e0fdef5f.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe value of this product lies in its specific utility as a highly portable, always-ready fishing tool. It fills a niche for anglers who prioritise convenience and mobility alongside functional performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eReuse and Low Maintenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt for repeated use, the kit requires minimal maintenance. The epoxy and fibreglass rod materials are inherently corrosion-resistant and simply need rinsing with fresh water after use. The aluminium alloy pen case protects the delicate guide rings and rod sections from knocks during transport, extending the product's lifespan. The reel's reinforced plastic construction is durable for freshwater and light saltwater use when cleaned appropriately. This low-fuss approach means the kit can be deployed, used, cleaned, and stored away quickly, encouraging regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy Choose This Product\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoosing this pen fishing rod kit is a decision based on concrete specifications that match specific needs. If your primary requirement is a rod that shrinks to near-pen size (20.5 cm) for ultimate portability, this product delivers that exact measurement. If you need an ultra-lightweight setup under 100g total to reduce fatigue, the 55g rod and 35g reel meet that criterion. For anglers who value precise line management, the ST5RL reel's brake adjustment and side friction button provide tangible control features not always found on compact reels. The multiple line capacity options (0.18\/60, 0.20\/55, 0.25\/40, 0.3\/30) offer flexibility to match your preferred monofilament. It is a purpose-built tool for mobile fishing, with its value defined by these measurable attributes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/1ef0753a-6ab0-4a62-9592-f3f3a1fc812d.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/3274b6e7-cd4e-4605-8ea0-138ecc1f860e.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/4a75c55f-364c-4e6e-afb9-e3df43686b00.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/668c9aba-c211-4cb7-b5bd-e7a8112ef7ba.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/a93fd73e-1ab9-4cc9-b066-24be73a383fa.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/b89b1710-90ee-4275-8ccf-3de91b066f31.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/c5a9832a-9fdc-46ab-b2b9-e20244791539.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Compact telescopic pen fishing rod and reel kit collapsed to 20.5cm, shown with gold aluminium case.\" src=\"https:\/\/images.seoo.uk\/src\/products\/shopify_export\/US09\/483\/2025-10-01\/original-image\/e2ab1ac1-7a28-42e0-bf27-ff7db689ad4a.webp\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"test2239r8yf73982f90y","offers":[{"title":"Purple \/ 1m","offer_id":57195026252107,"sku":"CJYD196150906FU","price":19.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Silver \/ 1m","offer_id":57195026284875,"sku":"CJYD196150903CX","price":19.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black \/ 1m","offer_id":57195026317643,"sku":"CJYD196150902BY","price":19.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Black set \/ 1m","offer_id":57195026350411,"sku":"CJYD196150907GT","price":23.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue \/ 1m","offer_id":57195026383179,"sku":"CJYD196150905EV","price":19.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Red \/ 1m","offer_id":57195026415947,"sku":"CJYD196150904DW","price":19.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Gold \/ 1m","offer_id":57195026448715,"sku":"CJYD196150901AZ","price":19.68,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1042\/6086\/2283\/files\/a93fd73e-1ab9-4cc9-b066-24be73a383fa.webp?v=1777745846","url":"https:\/\/huc4ji-en.myshopify.com\/products\/pen-fishing-rod-kit-1m-telescopic-pocket-stream-fishing-rod-with-st5rl-reinforced-plastic-reel-fibreglass-epoxy-body-in-grey-55g-ultra-lightweight-for-portable-ice-and-sea-fishing","provider":"WanderGoods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
