Product Overview
This 1.2 m mini telescopic fishing rod is an ultra-portable solution designed specifically for stream fishing, small fish angling and shrimp catching. Crafted from durable fibreglass, this lightweight stream rod collapses to just 45 cm, making it easy to carry in a backpack or large pocket. Weighing only 16 g with a sensitive 1.1 mm tip, it offers excellent bite detection for small species while maintaining the strength needed for reliable hook sets in creeks and ponds.
Key Features
Ultra-Compact Design: Collapses to a mere 45 cm length, allowing for effortless transport in travel bags, car glove boxes or even large cargo pockets without bulk.
Lightweight Sensitivity: At just 16 g with a fine 1.1 mm tip diameter, this rod transmits subtle bites from small fish like trout, minnows and shrimp directly to your hand.
Durable Fibreglass Build: Constructed from high-quality fibreglass that balances flexibility with toughness, resisting breakage during sudden strikes or accidental impacts against rocks.
Anti-Tangle Rotating Tip: Features a 360-degree rotating alloy tip top that prevents line twist and tangling when fighting active fish or retrieving lures.
Comfortable Grip: Equipped with a non-slip EVA foam handle that provides a secure hold even when wet, ensuring precise control during casting and retrieval.
Precision Fit Joints: The telescopic sections are engineered for a tight, seamless fit that distributes stress evenly across the rod blank, preventing weak points at the joints.
Why It Stands Out
Unlike standard rods that are cumbersome to hike with, this mini rod transforms into a pocket-sized tool in seconds. Its specialised "ML" (Medium Light) tuning is optimised for the delicate art of small-fish angling, offering a perfect blend of softness for feeling nibbles and backbone for landing catch. The rotating tip is a crucial detail often missing in budget rods, significantly reducing line management frustrations in flowing water.

Notes
Always extend the rod fully before casting to prevent damage to the tip section.
Rinse with fresh water after use, especially if fishing in saltwater or muddy streams.
Avoid high-sticking (lifting the rod vertically high) when fighting fish to prevent snapping the delicate tip.
Store in the protective sleeve when not in use to avoid scratches.
Please allow slight measurement deviations due to manual production processes.
FAQ
Q: Is this rod suitable for big fish?
A: This rod is tuned for small to medium species; while fibreglass is tough, it is not designed for heavy-duty carp or saltwater game fishing.
Q: Does the tip really rotate?
A: Yes, the alloy tip top features a swivel mechanism that allows the line to spin freely, reducing twists during retrieval.
Q: Is it hard to assemble?
A: No, simply pull each section out gently until fully extended; ensure joints are snug before casting.
