Looking for a travel Lb rod any suggestions?

Post by mahi_mahi83 » Wed Oct 12, 2011 10:06 pm

was thinking about Shimano T-Curve Revolution Travel Spin 9' 6-10kg 4pc.

What you guys think about this?

6-10kg for multi piece rod is very heavy. I suggest you go lighter.

Try looking for the shimano travel concept (STC) rods or similar.

The godzilla looks fantastic!!

Just not sure if can get the distance with it ?
I got something similar to it in the T curve Revolution 10-15kg...
I guess it's not really to the same quality in build but it does the job
Really was looking for something with a bit of length that i could breakdown
and take it with me where ever i go, i also what it to be heavy enough to handle
bigger fish

this should have enough length, you can travel with it (actually on it). No need to cast when extended. :lolf: :lolf:
