We didn’t design this model. It’s a community file from its original creator, and now and then a file has a fault that only shows up when we print it, such as walls that are too thin or parts that don’t join properly. If that happens we’ll let you know and try to fix the file, which can add a day or two. If we can’t get a good print from it, we’ll refund you in full.

Good to know before you order

TPU has a £11.50 print-order minimum. ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon and PETG-CF have a £46 minimum; PA-CF has a £69 minimum. Delivery is shown separately in your cart.

Need a few parts? Add them to one cart. One order minimum and one postage charge cover the cart: £6.90 for standard materials, £11.50 with TPU, £46 with ABS, ASA, PC, Nylon or PETG-CF, or £69 with PA-CF.

Please check the model files include everything you need before ordering. We print the files as published by the creator, so you receive the parts in the model, not necessarily a finished assembly shown in any photos. These are community designs by their original creators; we manufacture and post them but cannot guarantee fitment for your specific appliance or use case - check the original design page for compatibility.

About this print

A compact, fully printable fishing rod with an integrated reel, designed to be pocket-sized for easy carrying. It is intended for camping, hiking and survival situations where a portable fishing option is useful. The rod and reel components are printed separately and assembled. PETG is a practical material for this build, as it offers flexibility and handles moisture better than PLA, making it more suitable for use near water.

Original maker's notes

By CaseyJohnson on Thingiverse · CC-BY-SA

Great for hiking or camping, and is small enough to fit into a pocket so you can fish anytime. The handle is hollowed out and there is a threaded end cap so that you can store some hooks and lures in the handle. The spool can be configured for either left-handed or right-handed when you assemble it. Video:

Update 6/26/15: I have hollowed out the handle and added a threaded endcap so that you can stash some lures, hooks, and sinkers in the handle. Thanks to the suggestion of Predator04. You can fit quite a bit of stuff in there!

Update 6/25/15: I added a new deeper reel with a much greater line capacity. The name of the file is 'New Reel.stl'. The full plate of parts named 'Fishing Rod.stl' has had this new reel added to it, so by printing out the plate you can have both and choose one.

Formatting may have been simplified. These are the independent maker's instructions and fitment claims; Hark Tech has not independently verified them.

Printing Fully Printable Fishing Rod

For Fully Printable Fishing Rod we would normally reach for PLA — it is the easy, economical default and suits the majority of models. We set the layer height, wall count, infill and supports to suit the model and how you will use it, and those choices are already priced into your instant quote. Want a specific colour or material? Tell us and we will match it where we can.
