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.

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.

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?
