Zi Fei Yu ZEAL Capsule Pro Ultra-Portable Micro Fishing Rod

Experience the ultimate in portable angling with the Zi Fei Yu ZEAL Capsule Pro. This precision-engineered tool is specifically designed for the delicate art of micro-fishing, tanago, and stream angling. Whether you are targeting bitterlings in a quiet creek, catching shrimp, or introducing a child to the joys of the water, the Capsule Pro offers a professional-grade experience in a pocket-sized form factor. Its sleek, "capsule" inspired design combines aesthetic elegance with the rugged performance required for outdoor adventures.

Key Benefits

Ultra-Compact "Capsule" Design:** With a uniform storage length of just 22.5cm across all models, this rod is small enough to fit into a backpack side pocket, a glove box, or even a jacket pocket, making it the perfect "always-ready" fishing companion.

Featherlight Precision:** Weighing as little as 24g, the rod is balanced to provide maximum sensitivity. You will feel every vibration and subtle nibble, which is essential when targeting smaller species like bitterlings or shrimp.

High-Performance Resilience:** Built with the philosophy of being "stronger when meeting strength," the rod's carbon construction provides a flexible yet durable backbone that handles tension smoothly without snapping.

Versatile Multi-Species Tool:** While designed for micro-fishing, its sturdy build makes it an excellent choice for children learning the craft or for seasoned anglers exploring mountain streams and urban ponds.

Original DIY Customization:** The Pro version supports DIY internal tube customization, allowing enthusiasts to personalize their gear for a truly unique aesthetic.

How to Use

1. **Extension:** Remove the protective cap and gently pull the rod sections out one by one, starting from the thinnest tip section. Ensure each section is snugly fitted but do not use excessive force.

2. **Rigging:** Attach your micro-fishing line (not included) to the braided connector at the tip of the rod using a traditional girth hitch or clinch knot.

3. **Operation:** This is a telescopic hand rod designed for use without a reel. Use gentle underhand casts or vertical drops into targeted areas.

4. **Retraction:** After use, wipe the rod sections with a clean cloth and collapse them from the base section upward to prevent damage to the tip.

Care & Safety

Maintenance:** Always rinse with fresh water after use, especially if used in brackish environments. Ensure the rod is completely dry before collapsing it for long-term storage to prevent blistering of the finish.

Debris Warning:** Ensure no sand or grit enters the telescopic joints, as this can scratch the carbon fiber and cause the sections to jam.

Angle Safety:** Avoid "high-sticking" (pulling the rod back at an acute vertical angle) when landing a fish, as this puts undue stress on the tip.
