This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

Travel Pack Rod/Reel Combos

Post by chill »

Has anyone ever used one of these travel pack combos? I'm wondering if its worth the purchase. Heading to Cuba and I thought I'd be able to squeeze it in the suitcase since I don't have the space for a full size rod case. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I got a 20$ special for a trip to Cuba. It does the trick and you can even give it to someone down there. Trust me they'll be extremely happy with that.

Spool some heavier line depending on what you're going to chase.

Good luck.

I bought a Quantum 4 piece ultralight rod. It was great... t's super portable, has a nice hardshell case and feels pretty good too. I think it was 50$ or so...

I'm not sure if you are into backcountry canoeing but if you are... Get a good one for your trip and use up here for backpacking...

Have a good one,
