Dat_Bass Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 I'm looking to get a nice baitcasting travel rod for all around use. I'd keep it in my truck and when I go to baseball tournaments or out of town it'll be sitting in my truck. I'd like it to be 6'6" or a bit bigger. I'd say maybe a MH. Quote
Super User DogBone_384 Posted November 16, 2016 Super User Posted November 16, 2016 I have Diawa's Ardito (7', M/F) travel rod I mount a 7.1:1 T3 Ballistic to. It's typical Diawa build quality and as sensitive as I need. Good luck picking a travel rod. Oh yeah, it fits behind my '06 4-dr Tundra's back seat nicely. 2 Quote
Onvacation Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Don't know much about them, but the Diawa Ardito has gotten some very good reviews. I will let you know soon because I ordered one today. 7'6" MH. I travel with a two piece Carbonlite spinning rod, and a two piece 7'1" MH One Three fishing rod now. Both do a great job. I just wanted something that would break down smaller. There are more expensive options out there, but I just refuse to spend over $300 on a travel rod. Quote
d-camarena Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 Okuma citrix is another good option Quote
Dat_Bass Posted November 16, 2016 Author Posted November 16, 2016 I'll be sure to check the Ardith and Citrix out! Quote
Penguino Posted November 16, 2016 Posted November 16, 2016 I can say for a fact that you wont be disappointed with Okuma rods.... I've used the EVX and C3-40X and they've only served to meet my expectations. Quote
drew4779 Posted November 17, 2016 Posted November 17, 2016 I use a fenwick methods. It packs up small enough that I can carry on a plane. It has 5 pieces (3 pieces to make a rod) so you switch between fast or moderate action and MH and H power. Works for me. Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted November 17, 2016 Super User Posted November 17, 2016 Ardito is a very nice fishable travel rod: Quote
