Why not take a fishing rod with you on holiday and buy yourself a telescopic or travel fishing rod. Ideal for taking with you where ever you go, telescopic and travel rods are ideal if you are going abroad or holidaying within the UK. Whether you fish from a boat from the shore, enjoy spinning for bass or simply just enjoy casting out a bait and sitting on the beach, we have a travel rod that will suit you. So what is a travel rod and how does it differ from your conventional beach caster, boat or spinning rod.
There are two types of travel rod. Probably the most popular being a telescopic rod built using a telescopic style of blank. The obvious advantage of a telescopic rod is its ability to shrink down to a fraction of its extended size, making it extremely easy to transport. There are telescopic rods to suit most types of sea fishing, these include telescopic beach casters, telescopic spinning and lure fishing rods there are also a small number of telescopic boat rods available too. While the telescopic fishing rod is extremely popular and serves the holidaying angler very well, there are a number of travel rods available that offer the angler that little bit more.
While the telescopic fishing rod will without a doubt always be around, the introduction of high quality carbon materials has led to a new wave of travel rod, allowing you to now buy a rod made from a 4, 5 or even 6 piece carbon blank. Multi piece travel rods with exceptional casting actions, super sensitive tips and powerful butt sections are now available and offer the angler a rod that performs extremely well, while still maintaining the most important functionality of being able to shrink down to a quarter of its size. This new type of travel rod may suit the more experienced angler or any persons looking for a travel rod that more closely resembles the characteristics of a conventional beach caster, boat rod or spinning and lure fishing rod.
