Any small apartment's decor would be instantly improved by the addition of a
Berkley 3-rod storage holder with a GLoomis, a St. Croix and perhaps a
Lamiglas, all with appropriate reels. Just imagine the conversation starter
this would be.

Stay away from the Instant Fisherman. My sister-in-law bought one for me to
carry around in the car in the event of sudden onslaught of pond fever. It
did not work from day 1. Nothing about it was worth the money she spent.

If you want a small rig, look at something like the Daiwa that comes in a
little carrying case with a tiny spinning reel. My wife got me one of these
last year and it worked out ok on a trip to FL. It had no trouble landing a
19" catfish I caught on a bream jig. The case easily packs in carry-on.
As Rodney said, many companies make something like this and they don't cost
much at all.
