Fishing on the go is a great idea if you have just
an hour or so to spare in your busy schedule. Unfortunately, by the time you
grab your tackle box, fishing pole, and bucket you are carrying a truckload of
unnecessary items. Fishing on the go, or backpack fishing, requires a whole new
way of thinking about things. The economization of items is necessary if you
want to fit everything in the back of your car, stuff it into a backpack, or
shove it into your desk drawer.
The Ready to Fish R2F Telescopic Pole provides a
compact fishing pole that is easy to store in small places. With a micro tackle
box, and carrying canvass it is hard to get something more portable than this.
Retailing for under $30 at most outlets like Sports Authority or Amazon it is a
nice addition to your fishing gear.
Recently I have engaged more often in pier fishing in
the San Diego area. Sometimes I like to bike down to the beach and spend a few
hours in the sun and then head over to the pier to enjoy some fishing. This is
pretty difficult if you have a lot of gear and not a lot of space.
Simply stuffing one of these poles into my backpack
allows me to enjoy my day and pull out the pole when it is needed. Plenty of
leftover room for towel, sunscreen, and other items. I have also removed the
necessity of a bucket by using a waterproof container and freezer packs. Simply
catch your fish, clean it at the pier faucet, place it in the container, stuff
it in your backpack and head home.
Perhaps you do not desire to go pier fishing but are
enjoying hiking or camping. Something that allows you to fish in remote areas
is certainly a benefit. It is also light which means you are not adding
significantly to your shoulder weight.
Backpack fishing has come a long way since the days
of stuffing string and hooks in your pocket, finding a slightly green stick to
tie your line, throw it in the water and reeling it in by hand. The R2F
Telescopic Pole is a fully functional pole that retracts out to full length. It
hosts an open real that is easy to attach and detach as needed.
“If
people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage
of fishing poles.” –Doug Larson
