AMAZING

Love how light weight the rod is! It’s light weight yet powerful. Took it to the jetty’s, pier and surf it was able to handle all of that! I can’t wait to keep using it! I paired it with a 5000 battle 4 PENN reel and man! It’s able to launch my bait far! I want to battle a Bull Red on this rod!

Very satisfying light weight surf rod

I'm very satisfied with this fishing rod. It's incredibly light, weighing under 200g. It comes with a fairly thick, soft cover, which gives me peace of mind when transporting it. The packaging was also excellent; it arrived in a very sturdy, hard cardboard tube, so the product inside was completely undamaged. I might keep the cardboard tube just in case. ​When you join the rod sections, the ferrule (connecting point) doesn't insert all the way, but this is by design. It's actually used in that state in the YouTube videos I've seen. You should avoid forcing the sections together.

Description

Crafted with premium carbon fiber, our 9’2″Hybrid Travel Fishing Rod bridges the gap between inshore precision and surf power. It’s the one-rod solution when you want to cover a wide range of fishing environments.  Compact, lightweight, and powerful, this rod is designed to give you the freedom to fish anywhere—whether it’s the beach, pier, jetty or inshore rivers, creeks and under bridges, this rod is perfect for variety.

At 9’2”, this full-sized hybrid rod breaks down into 5 travel-friendly pieces, packing to just 2 feet for easy transport. Despite its portability, it delivers serious performance: lightweight and sensitive enough to detect subtle bites, yet strong enough to battle the fish that count.

Need help deciding which rod to get? 

The Hybrid Travel Rod (9’2”) is your answer when casting distance matters most. Its extra length gives you the casting reach to hit sandbars and deeper channels, while the added backbone lets you take on bigger fish in surf or open water.

The Inshore Travel Rod (7’6”) is built for anglers who need finesse and precision. Its shorter length makes it ideal for  working lures around the first trough on the beach, on docks, mangroves, bridges, and other tight spots where accuracy and sensitivity are key. Lightweight and easy to cast all day, it’s the perfect choice when you want to feel every subtle bite and outsmart fish up close.

Together, the Inshore and Hybrid rods cover every scenario you might encounter, making them the perfect travel companions for anglers who want to be ready for anything.
