Excellent Travel Rod Option

This is a great rod that packs down small enough to slide into a suitcase while traveling. The convenience of a 5-piece rod was the selling point for me since most rods available in the US that are targeted as travel rods are 3 or 4 pieces. I'm able to strap this to the side of my backpack while hiking or walking to a spot and easily assemble the rod. I took this with me to the UK and caught five seabass on this rod. The rod is really sensitive to bites and was strong enough to throw 3oz leads plus bait. So far, I am loving this rod. I'm bringing it with me to Hawaii next month, so I hope it continues to perform well. I'm excited for all of the fish I'm going to catch on this and all the places I can take it to.

Father's Day and Birthday Gift!

Your video marketing works. My wife saw me watching your YouTube channel and surprised me with this rod after I casually mentioned wanting a good travel fishing surf rod. I’ve used it a few times now—great quality, smooth action, and the Japanese carbon fiber sold me. Super happy with it.

Very well made, very responsive

10/10 usability and well worth the value for its price. Easily competes with 300-400$ travel rods while this break down way more for travel. Definitely a diamond in the rough fishing gear for the travelers.

Game changing innovation

I finally took it on its maiden voyage on an airplane to my travel location and I am thoroughly impressed with everything from the size and portability to how far I can cast with it and its sensitivity. Hands down will be my preferred rod for adventures to lakes, larger rivers and the surf.

Description

*The third edition of our rod includes an upgraded carbon fiber material that is sourced from Japan. We also upgraded the travel case made it entirely of neoprene material featuring thicker straps. This travel case is a much higher quality case than version 1 and provides extra protection while traveling.

Special Features:  

  • Includes travel carrying case 
  • Extremely lightweight allowing for more casting without fatigue
  • Wrapped with carbon fiber material making it lightweight and extremely strong.
  • Five piece, travel sized rod, disassembles to 2’ long. 
  • Perfect to take on any trip because it fits in any backpack. 
  • 9’2” makes it perfect for longer distance casting
  • Casts up to 3.5 oz of weight, perfect for lures and fishing bottom rigs at the beach. 

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: 

  1. When assembling the rod, *GENTLY* push together until snug- DO NOT EVER FORCE TOGETHER. 
  2. After each use, wash the rod down with freshwater and use a rag to wipe down all of the guides.
  3. There should be matte section showing between the joints! This is intended to account for natural swelling and compression based on weather and humidity. The rod is not intended to be forced together until the carbon fiber sections meet.
