Instant Fisherman Folding Fishing Rod & Reel Combo –
U.S. Patent 5,444,934
Every now and then a piece of fishing gear comes along that
isn’t just equipment — it’s a conversation starter. The Instant
Fisherman folding rod and reel combo is exactly that kind of item. Compact,
clever, and unmistakably unique, this patented portable fishing rig was
designed so anglers could keep a ready-to-fish setup almost anywhere —
in a truck, camper, boat, or tackle room.
This model features a distinctive folding telescoping rod
system housed in a compact pistol-grip style body. The design allows the
rod to fold down into a highly portable package, making it perfect for
spontaneous fishing trips, travel, or simply keeping a backup rod ready when
the opportunity to fish suddenly appears.
The design behind this innovative fishing rig is protected
by U.S. Patent 5,444,934, which describes a portable collapsible
fishing apparatus with a pivoting rod mast and compact internal reel system.
Products built on this design were widely marketed under the Instant
Fisherman / Flying Lure product line, which gained popularity among anglers
looking for a lightweight, portable, and easy-to-store fishing setup.
Whether you’re a collector of unique fishing gear, someone
who appreciates clever outdoor gadgets, or an angler who likes to keep a rod
ready at a moment’s notice, this piece captures the fun, inventive spirit of
portable fishing equipment.
