Travel Fishing Kit

Recommended Posts

Off on hols next month, and the old telescopic rod has seen better days. Ideally I would like a boxed set comprising rod reel and associated kit for the normal fishing off rocks holiday situation. Obviously needs to fit in standard suitcase and not weigh a ton! My local tackle shop has no demand for them but I am sure I have seen them somewhere all in a nice plastic case, thing is I cant remember :good:

 

No jokes about my Telescopic Rod required!

I have had a few travel rods.This is probably un breakable.I hefted an 8lb pike onto a high jetty last year with my 4 pce 6 foot Ugly Stik travel.Reel loaded with15lb braid.Shimano STC great too.They do a tiny tele also.I think the Ugly could land most reasonable size fish.I plan to use it for ultralight spinning for anything that is daft enough to bite in Ireland again.Can imagine it is up to light tropical stuff like trevally too.Great fun rod.Have bust telescopics before now.

Where you off to and what you fishing for Pav ? I have a six peice Shimano in a travel case that easily fits in a suitcase and has never let me down on Tarpon to 40lb. A great spinning rod capable of lobbing 100gm lures big distances.

I also have a decent telescopic rod with a casting weight of 60gms that at the time of purchase cost almost as much as the exage. More than welcome to borrow either for your hols, pm me if you want to know more as they wont be used til another bash at trevally and tarpon in October :good:
