Travel Rod Recommendations

Post by evoke » Fri May 28, 2021 4:50 pm

Hello,

With lockdown, comes more fishing gear purchases. Anyways, looking at a travel rod that can permanently stay in the boot of the car.

Type of fishing will be SPs on a 2000 or 2500 reel. Species will be landbased predominately, so thinking 1-3kg or 2-4kg

Love to hear suggestions.

Veritas 3.0 is currently on sale for around $75, for the price it's good. Then TD black for around $125-$150 when on sale, or go further to Bone.
All depends on your budget. I have Veritas and TD black, they're good for the price.

Anaconda has veritas 3.0 on sale for $75 but I think they ran out of the travel models.

I would avoid telescopic rods. That Abu is a great deal.
