They say good things come in small packages and the ProFISHiency “Tiny but Mighty” Pocket Combo and Fully Loaded Pocket Box do not disappoint. This little fishing duo was designed to be compact and go anywhere. You may not land a prize Marlin but if you are looking to fish for pan or bass, this little rod combo really does the job. With an ultralight design, even a flick of the wrist sends micro lures soaring. It doesn’t take much to put your favorite presentation in front of the fish. As if a high-quality travel rod and reel combo weren’t enough, the Fully Loaded Pocket Box comes with just about anything you could need, including a variety of lures and terminal tackle plus room for a few more of your favorites.

When it comes to small pocket-sized rods, most others I have seen were more of a novelty that skimped on performance. But the “Tiny but Mighty” Pocket Combo is aptly named. This telescopic rod extends to 20” from 14.5” and can be stored just about anywhere. It features an inline tangle-free fiberglass rod system and spincast reel spooled with a  3 lb. monofilament line. It would be a great option for backpackers and hikers, as well as something to keep in the glove compartment or go-bag. I could even see this being thrown into a saddlebag of a motorcycle. 


At 2.55:1, the gear ratio is fairly low, even for a spincast reel. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing depending on what you would like to use it for. Spincast reels tend to be limited to begin with because these reels are used mainly for bait fishing or slow-moving bass tactics such as worm or jig fishing. 

The Fully Loaded Packet Box includes needle nose pliers with line cutters, an inline spinner lure, a spinner bait, a rattle crankbait, two bobbers, three bait hooks, and three split shot sinkers all contained in a four compartment tackle box.

The “Tiny but Mighty” Pocket Combo and Fully Loaded Pocket Box would make a great addition to any store whether you already carry fishing gear or are looking to expand.
