8pc travel rods
When traveling, whether it’s business or pleasure, taking a standard 4 piece rod can often not be an option. Each TRIP rod breaks down to 8 15″ pieces and fits in to its 18″ long case.
Smooth blend of action & power
We planned for these rods to be used all over the world in every variety of fishery. So we incorporated the most versatile blend of action and power to help cover the widest range of fishing situations.
A rod for the suitcase, backpack, or back seat
Whether you’re on a “business” trip, backpacking, or just want something that rides along with you for those spontaneous stops, the TRIP’s ultra-compact 8pc design makes it a no brainer to take along.
Action vs Power Comparison
Action:
Fast action rods feature softer tips than medium action rods and provide a ‘stiffer’ feel. Fast action rods excel in the hands of anglers with more aggressive casting strokes and greater stroke control. Medium action rods are ideal for anglers with more fluid casting strokes and have a larger ‘sweet spot’ for a wider range of casting strokes. Consistently throwing a tailing loop? Your rod’s action may not be a good fit to you and your casting stroke.
Power:
A rod’s power is its resistance to flexing under load. Powerful rods are ‘beefier’ through the bottom half, generate higher line speeds, and are more adept at keeping big fish pinned. Delicate rods are more presentation-oriented, protect light tippet, and are a better choice for picky fish.
Wash all components with warm freshwater after each days use in saltwater. Pay extra attention to the space where the guides meet the blank and the metal parts of the reel seat. Try to keep sand and dirt out of the ferrules. Occasionally use a few drops of any reel oil or grease on the reel seat threads to keep it operating smoothly. Paraffin wax can also be used on the ferrules if needed to ensure a proper fit.
Do not use tape on your ferrules. If you do we’ll come steal all your bacon and PBR.
