Mini Fishing Rod & Reel Combo from Penfishingrods.com

[semicolonjones]

Awesome video. Do you know if you can put your own reel on the pen rod though?

[Hissatsu5]

Which rod do you do u like better the extreme or the Goliath

[intenseangler]

@Hissatsu5 I prefer the Goliath myself... It's longer length suits my style of fishing better. Plus it allows for farther casts and a little more "give" when fighting big fish. Hope that helps man...

[hillbillybob93]

Can you put your own reels on it

[phrankus2009]

Just purch'd a Swiss Ranger Volcano Stove, for $10, from Cheaper-than-Dirt, and on that product page, they also provide a related product link for a maxpedition *clone* MOLLE water-bottle carrier (with front-zip-pouch) for another $20 ... The Swiss Ranger comes with a nested cup and a large flask (over 2 cups) and a wood-burning chimney/wind-screen that also adapts to a Trangia or Triad or penny or cat-tin burner ... Attaches OUTSIDE my Motherlode pack and is all aluminum. ... so ... pass.

[Pallooka51]

This is a great gear option! Thanks for letting me know about it!. Another reason or place to carry this would be in your luggage on a non-fishing trip say on an airplane or for military personnel. Every post I've been to had a lake or a river near the barracks.

[intenseangler]

@Pallooka51 No problem Brother... my pleasure. What an excellent option you mentioned! I bet there's a ton of service men and women who would love being able to get off base for a few to get a little fishin' time in! Thanks for sharing the tip!

[Ggreenvideos]

That is one sweet little rod brotha'! That's a gotta' have product for sure! Nice one :o)

[intenseangler]

@Ggreenvideos Thanks Bro! Yeah, this little setup has been an absolute blast to fish with! Of course, you're talkin' to the guy that was havin' fun catching fish with a stick, haha ;-0

[RebLin51]

Nice set-up. Really cool. I caught a 15 pound channel cat on a kids Zebco 202 a few years back. I was hiking and it was a freebie and the line was old and half rotten. Got me dinner though. Well, I know where my next rod and reel is coming from now. I was looking for a good packable kit. As my current one is not suitable.

[intenseangler]

@RebLin51 Thanks friend. Wow, a 15lb cat on a little Zebco huh? That must have been a fun fight! Good job on getting him landed with your line being so bad!

Tight lines!

[mrriprock2]

I've always wanted to try one of those pocket fisherman. This looks even better. Great review. I think I missed your world record vid. Going to watch it now...Dash

[intenseangler]

@mrriprock2 Thanks Dash!

[phrayzar]

Very nice video John, I've been using a shimano telescopic for a while now and it works fine but I really like the look of the pen rods. Never seen them before, thanks for sharing.

[intenseangler]

@phrayzar Thank you my friend. Yeah, these little combos work great for when space and weight are fairly limited. It's been alot of fun fishing with them too! :-)

[oregonmikes]

Thanks for showing us those rods. I always thought stuff like that was just chinese junk.

Hey, what's a guy have to do to get an autograph?

[intenseangler]

@oregonmikes My pleasure Mike. Yeah, I saw some "knockoff" versions years ago that I wasn't very impressed with, but I gotta say these are the real deal. A blast to fish with too!

An autograph huh? The only autographs of mine that people seem to like are when I'm writing them out a check, haha! ;-) Take care buddy!

P.S. Got an interesting vid coming up for ya real soon ;-)

[medicjimr]

That is a great system john something I will have to invest in down the road

[intenseangler]

@medicjimr Glad you liked it Jim :-)

[materialsky313]

Hey i have a question.Which rod works better for salt water fishing,Goliath or extreme?

[intenseangler]

@materialsky313 To be honest, I don't really know because I haven't gotten the chance to fish them in saltwater. Although I have seen a guy fish with the Extreme model in the ocean, and it handled nicely. You'll have to try it out and report back ;-)

Tight lines!

[materialsky313]

@intenseangler ok i'll see what happens ;)

[handyscot1]

Great vid. Thanks for all the info. Take care.

[intenseangler]

@handyscot1 Thanks man, I appreciate that. Best to ya!

[wawhiker]

Another great one record holder. Always been intrigued by those mini systems.

[intenseangler]

@wawhiker Thanks Bill :-) 

[saradreaming]

Awesome video John. Your creativity really shines when you put together these videos! Holy guacamole, multiple camera angles and everything! : o)

Amazing little fishing poles, Wow! Definitely a sweet little kit to have along. I think with something like this, A person would be looking for even more excuses to go fishing just so they could use it.. : )

Have a good one and I hope you hook many more big ones my friend.. : )

[intenseangler]

@saradreaming Sara, thank you so much for the kind compliments my friend! I hope the different angles worked... never know till ya try, right? Besides, I have to step it up in order to keep up with your level of creativity! ;-0

I agree with ya... after fishing with this little setup for most of the Summer and Fall, I have to admit that I love it! Plus, you should see the looks on people's faces when I whip out that little pen and then proceed to land some nice fish with it... priceless! ;-)

[Woodenarrows]

Nice video John. These Pen rods and reels are pretty neat little systems. Very nice rod considering the size/weight aaaaand they are not that expensive, even for Mr. DIY :-) I have a breakdown Zebco pack rod/reel combo and an old collapsible 5 ft “Open Road” Telrod with a small South Bend 725 spinning reel but these Pen combos look like a nicer and more compact option.

[intenseangler]

@Woodenarrows Thank you Jim. Yeah, I'll tell ya I've been really impressed, that's for sure. I like my good pack rods still without a doubt, but these pen rods have earned their place in my arsenal now too.

P.S. Guess my secret's out now... I save all my money on my little DIY projects just so I can spend it on fishing equipment, hehe. Take care my friend....

[mudtoa]

After I saw your first vids, I got the penrod. I will have to post a vid of me catching some fish on it. I have only caught crayfish on it, so far.

[intenseangler]

@mudtoa Right on man... looking forward to the video! Just don't beat my record by too much ok ;-)

[nchiker1971]

Exactly what I've been looking for, thanks for posting this!

[intenseangler]

@nchiker1971 Right on... glad I could help Brother! Thanks for watching!

[bellwitch007]

Got me sold on the pen. Fish on!

[intenseangler]

@bellwitch007 The pen is indeed mightier than the sword, eh? ;-)

Take care my friend!

[kmksmkout]

awsome vid, thanks John

[intenseangler]

@kmksmkout Hey, no problem at all my friend. Thanks for watching and commenting.... means alot!

[steintanz]

Hi John!

Another biro to go fishing with? It's amazing to see what can be made from those modern materials and with some clever ideas.

CU, TIm

[intenseangler]

@steintanz Hey Tim my friend!

Yup, you know me... gotta have all the bases covered, hehe ;-)

P.S. I'm still working on that license issue for ya... ;-0

[steintanz]

@intenseangler .... just tell 'em it's for old Captain Ahab - this might speed it all up :o)

[dragonflyhiker]

great product

[intenseangler]

@dragonflyhiker Yeah, it's worked out awesome!

Hey, congrats again on the stove... that was a great name man! Now you have a legacy in the stove world buddy ;-)

[rondygal]

For the 5 dollar difference in pce, am going with the Goliath. I was totally sold when I watched the "world record" being broken. Of course, a lot of that was due to the fisherman. I think for what I would use it for, it will be just fine! Thanks John.

[intenseangler]

@rondygal Yeah, I'm with you... the Extreme is cool and all, but I love the Goliath! Maybe that's just because it's been a really lucky rod for me though, lol ;-) Thank you for the kind words as usual my friend! Take good care....

[mizooch70]

Great review. I have one in my bug out bag with a small fishing kit.

[intenseangler]

@mizooch70 Thanks Brother. Sounds like you're well prepared in the fishing area ;-) Hope life's treating you well my friend! Later....

[steffler69]

I've had one of these for a while, it's the cats meow, I plan to grab the mini fly reel and inflatable floats to get the whip effect on that short rod.....great vid!!!

[intenseangler]

@steffler69 Right on Brother. I've been wanting to try out those little fly setups for awhile now... you'll have to let me know what you think. Thanks!

[nativerobin]

That totally beats the crap out of my ronco pocket fisherman LOL ...im checking it out now ..thnaks!

[intenseangler]

@nativerobin LOL. Ya know, I never have got to try out one of those pocket fishermen... you'll have to do a review for me ;-) Take care Robin!

[MiWilderness]

Nice! That would go great in my pack.

[intenseangler]

@MiWilderness Yeah, they're definitely handy, that's for sure. Thanks!

[karenchakey]

Nice review and not a bad price, congrats on the world record too!

[intenseangler]

@karenchakey Thanks Karen!

[GunsKnivesSurvival]

Great review! I have a cheap collapsible fishing rod that came with a crappy (not crappie) reel. I keep it in the trunk of my car in summer just in case. I'm going to switch out the reel though. Take care.

[intenseangler]

@GunsKnivesSurvival Thanks Will, I appreciate that. I'm the same way... usually try to keep a rod or two stashed in the vehicle, but it seems like I end up taking them out and then I don't put 'em back, lol. Take care Brother....

[ridebks]

Great job with the record. The start of the vid could be a commercial for them. Excellent vid as always!

[intenseangler]

@ridebks Thanks Brother!

[CRXluvr]

Great video. I've wanted a large goliath combo ever since i saw your record breaking video, but at about $50 bucks its kind of a luxury for me, hopefully i'll have one by spring tho. btw if i broke any kind of world record i wouldn't shut up about it...great job

[intenseangler]

@CRXluvr Hey thanks man, I appreciate that! And I know what you mean... our "toys" are always spendy, eh? ;-)

Take care Brother, and have a good one....

[TomsBackwoods]

Great job Brother! I looked at these about a year ago and I was skeptical so I'm happy to hear an awesome review! ohh and congrats on the WORLD RECORD!!! freakin awesome!! thanks again!!

[intenseangler]

@TomsBackwoods I know what you mean man... I saw some pretty low quality "knockoffs" of these years ago, and laughed them off as a joke. But after fishing with these originals most of the summer I have to say that I'm completely sold on 'em now. Thanks for the compliment and congrats Brother... much appreciated!

[tekknorat]

Fishing rod? Realy? Wow. Must be some sort of magic involved :))

Great video Bro.

[intenseangler]

@tekknorat I know huh! Haha!

Thanks Brother!
