Travel Fishing Rods

Travel rods: compact and powerful for your fishing holiday

Are you going on holiday and want to take your rod with you? Then a travel rod is the solution. Compact, powerful and suitable for various fish species – from pike in Sweden to sea bass in France. Thanks to the smart design, you can easily take these rods with you in your suitcase, backpack or carry-on luggage.

What is a travel rod?

A travel rod (or travel fishing rod) is specially designed for transport. They are short in transport length and usually consist of 4 or more parts, or are telescopic. You simply click or slide them together upon arrival at your destination. Many models come with a transport tube or case for extra protection on the way.

Most travel rods easily fit in a suitcase or backpack, ideal for air holidays or camping trips.

Types of travel rods

There are travel rods for almost every type of fishing:

• Spinning rods: perfect for predatory fish, both in fresh and salt water

• Carp rods: three- or four-piece models for powerful casts

• Boat rods: short and strong, ideal for fishing at sea or large rivers

• Allround rods: for those who want to stay flexible and catch different fish species

For saltwater, there are special models that are corrosion-resistant. Always rinse after use in the sea.

What to look for when buying a travel rod?

• Transport length: measure your suitcase and check if the rod fits inside. Note: tubes can be slightly longer than the rod itself.

• Length extended: for casting from the shore a longer rod is handy, for boat fishing a shorter one.

• Casting weight: adjust this to the fish species and your way of fishing.

• Type of reel: make sure it fits the rod for a well-balanced set.

For universal use, a rod of 2.10 to 2.40 meters with an average casting weight is a good allround choice.
