CASTEM is pleased to announce the launch of the NEW Tiny Reel, an upgraded version of the highly popular Tiny Reel, one of the world’s smallest portable fishing reels that gained widespread attention through a crowdfunding campaign in 2024.

Sales begin at 10:00 a.m. (JST) on June 24, 2026, through multiple domestic and international channels, including Amazon, eBay, and meta mate Nihonbashi. The standard model is priced at ¥11,550 (tax included), while premium color editions are available from ¥12,520 (tax included).

Based on valuable customer feedback received after the release of the original model, the NEW Tiny Reel introduces several significant improvements. The most requested enhancement—a handle locking mechanism—has now been incorporated to improve usability and portability. In addition, the reel adopts a click-and-pawl mechanism, providing tactile feedback and allowing anglers to feel every movement directly through their fingertips.

Have you ever found yourself thinking:

“There’s a fish right in front of me—I wish I had a fishing rod!”
“I’d love to enjoy fishing casually while traveling or camping.”

The NEW Tiny Reel makes these moments possible. Thanks to its remarkably compact design, it can be carried almost anywhere, enabling spontaneous fishing experiences during travel, outdoor activities, or everyday adventures.

Its ultra-small size is unlike that of conventional fishing equipment. Whether you are an avid angler, outdoor enthusiast, or collector of unique engineering products, the NEW Tiny Reel offers exceptional portability without compromising functionality.
