Try these, I've seen someone fishing with one. Seemed pretty good (well for a fishing rod the size of a pen anyway )!
Corso, The thing is, small as they are, they are still a fishing rod, It is illegal in the UK to fish with other than a Rod and Line and as I would be after trout (Game Fish) I could have my car and any other accessories connected with the fishing Confiscated, should I be caught. The beer can idea is OK in Survival theory as would be "set lines" In game fishing it is illegal to lay down your rod with the baited hook in the water, I am sure that a lot of fishers do mot know that this law applies north of the border, and could get caught out unless they have tackle for course fishing on the line.
fair enough - not sure a pen rod would stand up to trout? I was also thinking with my sea fishing hat on

Woof mentioned these a few weeks ago on another forum, I think I'm going to try one at some point. I quite often end up next to rivers and small lochs and wish I had a rod with me.
Did you see the emmrod fly rod I linked to?
Sorry guy's, but as a lifelong angler stuff like this makes me "cringe"!!! get yourselves a decent "travel rod" or "telescopic rod" and enjoy fishing without fear of causing harm or losing fish!! As they say "A little knowledge is dangerous" !!!!!
Lifelong angler here too, hence the link to the emmrods, they seem to have a bit more of a pedigree. To be honest there was a time when I thought pole fishing with an elastic wasn't real fishing either...
Hang on...
I still think that!
