Teeny fishing rod and reel

Instructables user Toglefritz built this pocket-sized fishing pole and writes:

Conventional fishing poles are long, fragile, and hard to carry, or otherwise transport. This Instructable will show you how to construct a fishing pole, complete with a reel, that will fit nicely in your pocket. You can keep it handy, and go fishing any time water is nearby.
