Did anyone catch any fish if yes please pm me so i can make one to use when at the north coast there is a fishing treasure there.

One question. When reeling, the bolt turns but it does not remain in one place. it moves to one side and stops once it comes in contact with the side of the clip. Please explain what i have done wrong and correct me.

you need two more nuts to secure the two bolts that were glued together between them or/and add glue.

I made a simular mini rod and it works gr8 , thx for the idea

 okieman has a good point, wouldn't any fish capable of applying a force higher than the poles breaking strength destroy the pole? Couldn't you use something with more give?

 how can you cast?

[okieman]

great idea, however as an avid fisherman, one major flaw exists. the telescoping antenna is mostly rigid, one good fish and it would be the end of the telescoping piece. so we should come up with something with a little more "give" and then well all be catching pocket fish. lol thanx

How do you cast? (if possible)

[bobert610]

this is a pretty good fishing rod. I tried using bigger everything, like pvc pipe and a huge antenna. plus bigger washers and nuts. Doing this makes an excellent mid sized telescoping pole. Kudos to you for the 'ible though ! :D
