Tiz Travel Fishing Rod

I absolutely Love this rod, especially paired with my 3000 Shimano Stadic Reel (setup recommended by Hey Skipper).. So comfortable and easy to use. Easy to cast and even better pulling the big ones in whether on the pier, boat or shore!

Perfect travel rod!

I took this rod with me to Hilton Head Island and landed several species. I paired it with a 5000 size Saragosa reel and it balanced perfectly. It is very light but also very powerful. I am thinking about ordering another! Thanks!

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.

Hey Skipper Official Store Hey Skipper Travel Fishing Rod- 9’2” JAPAN COLLECTION Review

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.
