Pocket Fishing Rod

The practical, extendable Pocket Fishing Rod, is the perfect catch for all anglers. There are two types of fishermen. The one with the flimsy net on the end of a piece of old bamboo, who gets excited when he catches a stickleback in the local canal; and the serious angler, who sells a kidney to afford the latest rods, reels and floats, and who dreams of landing a foot long pike. Well if you want to catch more than a tadpole, but don’t want to carry around an arsenal of hi-tech angling paraphernalia, then the Pocket Fishing Rod is for you. The compact rod can be carried around in your pocket (hence the name), but as soon as you catch sight of something darting around in the water, the rod is easily, and quickly extended, ready to land your prize catch.

It comes with a reel, line, hooks and float, and is easy to assemble, so all you need to provide is the bait. It is the perfect gift for the first time fisherman, or for the serious angler who wants to be prepared, just in case he can get in some unexpected casting. The rod is a diminutive 20cm for easy mobility and 104cm when extended. It is made of an aluminum alloy and is sturdy enough to land the biggest freshwater fish.

•  Practical pocket-sized fishing rod
• Made of aluminum alloy
• Easy to assemble
• Measures approx. 20cm; 104cm when extended

Contents

• 1 x fishing rod

Bear Grylls Ultimate Multi-tool

Introducing the Bear Grylls Ultimate Multi-Tool belonging to the ‘Survival Series’ by Gerber. This collaboration brings together over 70 years of knife and gear expertise from Gerber and Bear Grylls’ extensive outdoor survival and adventure experience to create a one-of-a-kind line of knives, tools and gear.

The Bear Grylls Ultimate Multi-Tool is a crucial addition to any expedition (even if it is only to the garage and back)! With an ergonomic textured rubber grip the Ultimate Tool maximises comfort and reduces slippage so you can be sure to work on that survival project without hurting your delicate little hands! The pliers also have a spring-loaded jaw for simplified one hand use and the knife blades use Gerber’s well known, patented Safe.T.Plus locking system, giving enhanced safety by locking the components into the usage position. All the tools have external access so they’re easy to open if you’re in a hurry running away from that maddened bear (we did tell you not to steal its honey, remember?)!

At the age of 23, Bear Grylls entered the record books as the youngest Briton to have ever summited Mount Everest. From his time in the British Special Air Service (21 SAS), to hosting his survival television show all over the globe, to his position as UK Chief Scout, Bear knows what it takes to be a survivor in extreme situations. Each item in the Survival Series is meticulously designed by Gerber and Bear to offer a multitude of uses in any environment.

The Ultimate Multi-Tool features 12 stainless steel, weather resistant components listed below:

• Needle Nose Pliers
