I was just commenting on the Ronco Pocket Fisherman.I would not backpack with it.It is quite heavy for what it is.Had a packable Shakespear spinning rod handle split on me.I think it was a large pike fish that did it.I am a fan of Uglisticks and found out they make one.There is a company that makes a metal rod with a coil in the middle.The coils are the line guides.I wish I could remember the name.
