Location: Land of the Musky | My 9' 2pc Tackle Industries rod is 4.5ft for travel and can be taken on commercial aircraft as a carry on. This is also the main reason I made the rods was for the traveling fisherman so you don't have to pay $70+ each way to take a rod with you while traveling.
We have 6 9' 2pc rods to pick from:

| When I travel, I have three 2-Piece rods I take with me. One is a 2-pc TI 9' XXH (big rubber, large minnow baits, etc), another is a 2-pc TI 9' XH (bucktails, Crankbaits, etc), and the third is a 2-pc St. Croix Premier 7'0" Heavy (Jerkbaits and topwater). All these rods function well, cover a lot of techniques, and won't break the bank if broken during travel. I have a short 4" diameter rod tube that I can fit these in and I just carry it on the plane. No one had given me a problem yet. |

| Don, as I mentioned in the PM. I use two piece customs by Dadson rods. I really outside of my pounder rod only use these two piece rods. They pretty much throw everything from dbl 10's to suicks, topwater. A really good all around rod for baits up to 5-6 oz. I don't throw anything bigger than that on them. They tend to be lighter than most two piece as well. I have traveled with my 9' all over the world and even though they are geared for musky, they work on other fish as well. BR |
