Well said!

A good small rod and reel that breaks down doesn't take much space and it
will actually feel a lot better in your hand! You'll get a lot more quality
and enjoyment for your $40.00! I fell for the "pocket Fisherman" a number of
years ago!

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.
