Nice Breakdown Rod?

Looking for a nice Med Action 3/4 piece to be able to break down to put in carry-on luggage....

spin or baitcaster, still haven't made up mind per I'm going for RedFish...

Don Eric B has an Albright and the quailty looked pretty nice. They have spinning rods too $129 http://www.albrightflyfish.com/conventional-rods/explorer-casting.html

Hey Don,

Having done this last year in Florida, my recommendation would be to take your favorite two piece (or two) and mail them to wherever you will be staying, unless you will be in a car the entire time.  I mailed three of my rods last year priority mail and they made it fast and safely. cost me $15 and they arrived the same day i did.

Also, most airlines will take your rods in a rod tube without additional baggage fee (standard 1 bag charge). Look up your specific airline to be sure of the restrictions.    

You could also go to the closest walmart when you get there and buy a cheap $15 - $20 rod and donate it at the end of the trip.

I don't know too many 3/4 piece rods in the medium action range, most are ultralights.  bass pro does sell some cheap telescoping medium action ones though at $18/each.

Thanks Guys....

 I'll have to PM Eric B about what he bought....

 not a Bad idea about mailing too ...   That could work,

still would be nice to have a Travel Rod...

I have a 3 piece Bass Pro Extreme Medium Heavy 7 foot casting travel rod brand new. Make me an offer. $99 New.

I posted about the Albright rods Nov. 08 when they were closing them out at 67.50 ea.
bait casting , spinning and surfcasting rods. Someone mention there was no warranty but that did not stop me. I purchased 4 of the so far. I got to tell you these are exceptional rods.
I see the price has doubled now. Glad I got mine. Cabelas and Bass pro has travel rods also.

I've actually got a St Croix tidemaster inshore spinning rode 3-pc that i LOVE. its been thru hell, and still comes out kickin. Over the 8 years i've had it i've broken a couple of eyes, but also caught everything from salmon to snook on it.

yes they're frickin' expensive...but you get what you pay for

I've been a big fan of the Tsunami Travel rods for my Alaska trip.  But something tells me you want an inshore rod, maybe 8-17#.  Tsunami came out with a lighter rid this year.

They come in casting models too.  And they have one step heavier at 30-40#.

One was lost at sea.  Yes they are good rods, but my Lamiglas rods seem to cast a little better. You can carry on a 2 piece 7' rod which brings up other options.

Take a look at the Lamiglas travel rods

you should be able to get them at
http://fishermanswarehouse.com/ or any other quality tackle shop.
A little up in price but again "you get what you pay for"
