Available on my etsy store here: https://etsy.me/2GNvl5N Or you can make one yourself! Be sure to post a picture with the caption "I made this"! The PortaReel is a super portable fishing pole that's designed as an uncompromising spare or survival pole for casual opportunity fishing when camping or hiking. It's the same size as an Altoids tin and has a clip to attach it to your belt, which is also used to lock and unlock the reel. It can be configured for left-handed or right-handed use when you string it up. Additionally, it makes for a great kite flying cord reel.
