Dear all,
I have been researching for a good casting travel rod for at least 5 hours straight now (and maybe 11h in total). You all have been very useful on other persons topics. However I was unable to answer my main question which is what brand suits best?
The travel rod wanted is fast action 1/4-3/8oz lure weight casting rod with a budget of less than 240$.
I found 3 options :
- St. Croix triumph casting travel rod with very good reviews but MH instead of M, no real issue though. 140$
- Temple fork traveler casting rod (TAC TRC 704-3) which is very absent in term of review, but the brand is quite good apparently. 200$
- Daiwa Ardito (ARDT70MHF-SC) spinning and casting combo. good reviews and seems very interesting since I have a few spinning reels and if was to love it you could switch between reels. I am afraid to pay 50$ of the 140$ for that extra option though. 140$
My first question is, do you have any feedback on them ?
My second is are st.croix and temple fork rods on the same level of quality ? because the Temple fork rod is nowhere to be reviewed but is still more expensive.
Thank you for all your answers !
