Don't let the small size fool you. This is a capable rod with plenty of action. We get reports of 4 lb+ fish on this rod. It makes a great gift for a fisherman.

The end rod segment bends to 90 degrees. The bottom 3 segments are stiffer, with about 10 degrees of flex. This is a lightweight rod, forced 'hand' bending beyond these limits can cause breakage that is not covered under warranty. The only breakage we've experienced has been during lab testing - where we intentionally go beyond the limits. No fish has broken one yet, but what a story that would make.

The Fly Reel is basic, with no drag setting, but functional

This combination is by FAR our lightest - combined rod/reel - weight is 113 grams. Special base clip to attach to the pen rod. Reels do not come with fishing line.

Information for fly fishermen : The small size imposes some limitations, the 36" length of the rod does not give you the whipping action of a longer conventional fly rod, your arm will get a workout. With some practice, and a proper setup, casts can be made to 25 feet.

Setup: Not much backing line is required since the reel is small. If you use backing, rig up a very light backing line - like 4 lb test or lighter. Keep knots tight to fit through the eyelet. The small rod eyelets require that very light fly line (thin) be used. We have used 00 (double ott) Sage Quiet Taper™ II weighted fly line.

Leaders should also be light - for example 7x (2lb test) or even 8x. Experiment with a leader of 4 feet or 6 feet, and tie the leader knot outside of the tip eyelet, prior to casting.

Fly sizes should be in the size range of 20-28. Drag is regulated by thumb friction on the reel, there is no drag setting on this reel.
