There it is. You were just driving home from another day full of unpaid overtime and office politics and you found it by accident. The most beautiful spot in the world. No houses, no traffic, just you and the clearest lake you’ve ever seen. And look at the size of those bass! It’s a good thing you bought the Coleman FishPen. They call it “The World’s Smallest Fishing Pole”, even though it unfolds to a pretty decent size. But when it’s folded up, you’ve got a rod and reel with hooks, line and weights in a case that’s slightly smaller than Mists Of Avalon. And newly-realized lesbians tote that thing around all the time, right?

Everyone knows the joke about the little boy with a bamboo pole outfishing the pro loaded down with expensive gear. Fishing isn’t about what you take home, though. It’s about sitting quietly under that tree, enjoying the breeze, and waiting for that moment you see the end of the pole twitch. It’s about knowing that if you walked away from that job right now, you’d still be able to eat, and it’s about thinking that future over. It’s a little vacation in your mind. Who’d pass that up?

The Coleman FishPen is the perfect thing to hide in the trunk for a “mental health day���. Maybe even get a second for the boss. He has to put up with your crap all day, you think he doesn’t want to sneak out too?
