Telescopic Micro Pen Fishing Rod and Reel

This is a fantastic micro fishing set up but is surprisingly difficult to find now. Links below.
Usually the 'pen rods' are only available with terrible quality spinning reels or multiplier / bait-caster type reels which are even worse. The tiny multiplier reels are particularly bad quality and don't even function properly as a reel.
However, the 'fly reel' type of reel as shown here definitely works and has nothing to go wrong with it - that makes it the obvious choice for this sort of tiny set up.....if you can find it online.
It is great for a bug out bag or an extended survival kit.
This is the only listing I can currently find online which is at a decent price for the rod and reel shown in this video (Amazon): https://geni.us/shgkavH
I'd definitely recommend this set up as it packs down so small and functions perfectly well a demonstrated in the video.
