  1. They dont fit in your checked luggage though, do they ? I'm not sure how it works in europe for carry-on, I'll have to check Sainte croix Travel rod looks Amazing ! Loomis as well though A diawa review great thanks ! The rod seems very good indeed. I am not sure about the combo though
  2. I did it a few time but I always had the rod in my luggage. I haven't took the overhead risk yet. That is the only thing that makes me hesitate about hulkster advice to take loomis yet.70cm will not fit in any normal luggage and risking losing yet. That must be so irritating, to check if it is allowed you contacted them or you have proper info on websites ?
  3. This is à d**n good advice, thank you very much ! I might do that ! It will be long though It seems Temple fork Rods are made with G.loomis advicew
  4. I thought of a 2 piece rod as well but I cannot do any other way than Travel rod, since I'm not settled (I work in hospitality). I plan on moving countries with planes a lot therefore and I surely wont have any car.
  5. Thank you ! It is Indeed.very very bumpy. The st.croix is still a better option than the Fenwick isnt it ? You get what you pay for as you wisely said. The Loomis looks marvellous but so expensive. I don't deserve that yet haha
  6. Dear all, I have been researching for a good casting travel rod for at least 5 hours straight now (and maybe 11h in total). You all have been very useful on other persons topics. However I was unable to answer my main question which is what brand suits best? The travel rod wanted is fast action 1/4-3/8oz lure weight casting rod with a budget of less than 240$. I found 3 options : - St. Croix triumph casting travel rod with very good reviews but MH instead of M, no real issue though. 140$ - Temple fork traveler casting rod (TAC TRC 704-3) which is very absent in term of review, but the brand is quite good apparently. 200$ - Daiwa Ardito (ARDT70MHF-SC) spinning and casting combo. good reviews and seems very interesting since I have a few spinning reels and if was to love it you could switch between reels. I am afraid to pay 50$ of the 140$ for that extra option though. 140$ My first question is, do you have any feedback on them ? My second is are st.croix and temple fork rods on the same level of quality ? because the Temple fork rod is nowhere to be reviewed but is still more expensive. Thank you for all your answers !
