I’m pretty sure that, while stumbling along the banks of the Thames in central London, I’ve never had the urge to go fishing. After all, what exactly do you need with decomposing bodies or three-headed fish?

Still, if you’re a keen angler that would like to be ready at all times to re-catch the ‘one that got away’, then the Pen Fishing Rod is for you. Around the same size as a thick marker pen and measuring 8in long, this little aluminium rod telescopes out to 4-feet.

Just attach the left or right-handed miniature reel with its 5lb breaking strain line and let that triple hook spinner flash through the water.

Keen anglers, who like nothing more than playing with their own flies, will no longer have to wait for the weekend since they can whip out their secret service fishing rod anytime the urge strikes. Yours for £25 here. -Martin Lynch
