the Micro Fly Fishing Rod Set … Imagine casting a 30 inch rod 25 feet!
J. Austin Forbes Ltd offers a quality mini reel and rod that actually works, and catches fish! Our set is deadly accurate, it's a great way to practice in your office, or in front of the tv. You will not beleive this rod and reel combination until you try it!

Micro Fly Fishing is the newest – and one of the most exciting ways to fly fish. We’ve taken the ultimate course in light weight rod fly fishing. One person fishing the Housatonic in Connecticut keeps score for us - and so far is up to 235 catches, one trout weighing in at 1.5 pounds!
Here's one happy fisherman out in Colorado!
Model 2101 Micro Full Wood
The right rod to be used in a tight space where the laurel overhangs and you can't get in a long backcast. The micro rod blank was designed to load at 3-4 feet which makes it perfect for a short and deadly accurate cast. A great rod for the backcountry, just stow it in your backpack or saddlebag, and you are set to go! And it will make that elusive tiny brookie feel like much more!
The Forbes Micro reel is made of premium barstock, is fully working complete with a mini click and pawl drag system and all the other components of our “regular” sized reels, but its only the size of a U.S. quarter.

The graphite rod is offered in four models as described here. We also sell an aluminum carry tube, line and backing.

Comes with full instructions.
