🔹 What Makes This Micro Fishing Rod Special?

✔️ Genuine Telescopic Design – A Work Horse Built for Travel

This rod collapses down to under 16 inches making it small enough to fit in a backpack, tackle bag, or even a glove box. Ready to fish anytime, anywhere. Snug cap keeps it closed up!

✔️ Durable Fiberglass Construction – Lightweight & Strong

Built from high-quality glass fiber with precision craftsmanship this rod holds up to the demands of micro fishing. It’s light in hand but strong enough for small sunfish and tough invasive micros.

✔️ Non-Slip Grip Handle – Control When It Counts

The ergonomic, textured handle gives you a sure grip even with wet hands — essential when you’re threading your bait into tight spaces between roots or under docks.

✔️ Pre-Tied Lillian String Tip – Fast, Easy Setup

Each rod comes pre-tied with a Lillian string so you can attach your tapered leader, furled tenkara line, or micro float rig in seconds. No fiddling, no frustration — just tie on and fish.

✔️ Designed to Work with Our Micro Master Hooks & Leaders

This rod was specifically designed to pair with our pre-snelled Micro Master Hooks, Micro Floats, and Tapered Leaders. Together, they form a complete and ready-to-fish micro system.

🐟 How to Set Up & Use Your Telescopic Micro Fishing Rod

1️⃣ Extend the Rod – Start at the tip and gently pull out each section until fully extended.
2️⃣ Attach Your Leader – Tie your tapered leader, micro fishing line, or furled tenkara line directly to the Lillian string tip.
3️⃣ Add Your Float & Weight – Use a micro float and a small pinch of our tungsten putty to balance your rig for the conditions.
4️⃣ Clip on Your Hook – Use a quick connect or tie directly to attach a pre-snelled Micro Master Hook — bait up and you’re ready to fish.
