When I was a teenager, I always carried around a short piece of bamboo with a hook and line so that any time I found a place to fish, I would have some way to do it even if I didn't have all my gear. If I could have had something like this it would have been an incredible luxury. This is made for kids but would be great for adults and fishermen of all ages. A great gift Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and he mat become addicted.
