Yeah, the Rod and reel is lacking a little detail.
So far it looks like the rod and reel may make the reception on your vehicle a little better. Kinda looks like an antenna. that would be cool, too.
Happy Birthday.

well its about 2.5 feet long.. heavy heavy weight with a really stiff full action to it.. it may rival that new rod you are talking about from England..

AWE! The reel is about the size of a quarter? holds like 15' of fishing line.
Aren't they the office fly rods? Catching the paper on the next desk, stuff like that. Too cool. You still have the Hippest Wifie around.
Treat her right!

I have seen those also. I was thinking about getting one, but then wondered how long it would stay on my vehicle. I have a good looking trout for the top of my antenna and I pull it off everytime I leave my car.
Truck is not a problem in that it has XM so the antenna is for looks, but seeing an empty hole would be a bummer.

well so far so good.. I think the details of it are small enough that it does not stand out and yell come get me.. :-).. I like it a lot.. I know it sounds silly but I think it makes my truck just that little bit different from all the rest..
sis.. since the antenna does not affect your xm reception Id say get it.. the only thing is fitting your fish over the top.. this antenna is realistic as it has the line guide at the tip of the rod.. (top of the antenna)..

Years ago I new a lady that had one of those orange Union 76 balls on her pink mustang. This was long after it was popular.
Because it clashed with her pink mustang and it was way past the thing to have I asked her why she had it. She told me it was so she could find her car when she came out of the bar.
Knowing her, I really believed it was true.
