From a usability and total length standpoint, it beats all those chintzy fishpen style rods the article links to, but it is a little heavier and packs larger. Easily tucks into my panniers, though. Set me back $17 total. I tried it at the local lake and as far as mechanicals go, the thing works great. I need to find a better lake nearby to fish in. I can't wait to take it on <a href="http://kc-bike.blogspot.com/2009/06/one-ton-paceline-group-s24o-july-25th.html" rel="nofollow">my next bicycle camping adventure</a>!Noahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15271155305943176738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-29927440547022513692009-06-29T11:23:39.806-07:002009-06-29T11:23:39.806-07:00The Shimano Pocket Fisherman inserts into the end ...The Shimano Pocket Fisherman inserts into the end of a mountain bike flat bar.

More recently, I've carried my less-expensive fly rod into the backcountry by strapping it diagonally across my hydration pack, dangling the reel as low as I dare so the ferrules aren't too exposed at the top. For road accessible trips, I just use a Lone Peak grocery bag on my Long Haul Trucker. It breaks down to about four feet, so it's not as though it's snagging power lines. <br>Happy Trails,<br>RonRonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-57092628877571668742009-06-30T08:55:22.824-07:002009-06-30T08:55:22.824-07:00The Disney Princess rod works great, but the Scoob...The Disney Princess rod works great, but the Scooby Doo model suits me a bit better.Danielhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07647650280268106367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1288241767940554093.post-22429138461034973582009-06-30T10:37:24.921-07:002009-06-30T10:37:24.921-07:00I'll keep the Scooby Doo rod in mind the next ...I'll keep the Scooby Doo rod in mind the next time I go shopping for fishing stuff.<br><br>For those of you in Colorado: the state Division of Wildlife gives out free fishing rods to children during their fishing promotion events.
