About this product
This is the kit you keep in the car. At 1.35 m the rod is very short – shorter than most people expect a fishing rod to be – and that is the point. It goes in a backpack, a boot, a boat locker or a glovebox, and it is there when you find yourself beside water with half an hour to spare.
The set includes the rod, a matched reel and a 28-piece tackle box: hooks, swivels, weights, floats and small lures. For someone starting out, or buying a first outfit for a child, that removes the part of fishing that puts people off – working out what else you need before you can start.
What you give up at this length is casting distance and the leverage to fight a bigger fish. It is a rod for jetties, creek mouths, small boats, dams and rivers, where you are fishing close in. For beach or rock fishing, or for anything of size, you want a full-length rod – we stock those from 1.8 m upwards.
An honest note: the supplier’s own description for this item repeats the specification of their 1.6 m combo rather than giving figures for the 1.35 m rod, and it does not itemise the 28 pieces. We have listed only the length and the build we can confirm and left the rest open. Ask us and we will open a box in the shop and tell you exactly what is in it.
