A Travel Spinning Rod Is a Great Companion

Travel Spinning Rod | Daiwa Mini System Travel Spinning Rod

One of my favorite gifts from my wife is a travel fishing rod that she gave me when I started to travel for my job. Knowing I couldn't add my standard fishing rods to my luggage, she gave me a Daiwa Mini System with a hard case that lets me get away from the rat race for awhile.

I have found the Daiwa 4.5-foot, five-piece ultralight rod and reel combo to be very durable and the MS-S500T reel with ball bearing drive is both fast and smooth when trying to land a fish. Obviously this travel spinning rod was designed for anglers on the move because the compact tackle setup comes in its own hard case, and is ideal for stowing in luggage, backpacking, or keeping under a car seat.

Even if you don't travel very far from home, I think you will find this lightweight traveling fishing outfit is a good companion for that lunch break that turns into a little excuse to cast a line.
