A travel rod is great for travelling, camping, hiking and backpacking. They tuck away nicely when packing your gear and help to lighten the load.
If you're like most fishermen, then you like to make sure you're prepared as much as possible when planning a trip. However, that means trying to pack everything you can. If you and the family plan on putting in some productive time on the water catching fish, then travel rods will help to cut down on the extra clutter.
Some of the best travel rods usually come in 3 to 4 sections which tuck away securely in a sturdy protective case. They range from the very small light action rods for freshwater fishing, and up to the much larger heavy action rods for saltwater.
Some of these travelling rods may come with a fishing reel, but many do not include one. Depending on the kind of rod and the type of fishing that you will want to persue, you'll be able to match them accordingly with your favorite baitcasting, spinning or fly reels.
