Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're traveling across the country for business or driving through the countryside to visit a family member, it's always nice to have a rod available for spur-of-the-moment fishing trips. The Travel Mate comes with a six-piece, 6-foot-6-inch medium-action rod. The rod cast just like one- and two-piece rods, but collapse into a 15-inch footprint for storage in the handy Travel Mate case. The case also includes six built-in, adjustable storage compartments for your tackle, so you don't need to bring along a separate tackle box. And it couldn't be easier to carry the Travel Mate thanks to the removable shoulder strap and fold-down handle.

5 out of 5 stars Good bargain price pack rod   July 31, 2010
Demeter (Austin, TX)
The Amazon ad copy is wrong, this item is one pack rod, and not a rod and reel combo as stated in the advertisement. It should be obvious that this is another case of Amazon not maintaining it's site. The Shakespeare Travel Mate rod is maybe the best cheap pack rod. It goes together tight, it is straight and true with decent action, has a graphite reel seat that does not scratch a reel, and has no real faults. Takes longer to set up than the Shakespeare Ugly-Stik pack rod, but has a nice looking curve when bent. The Ugly-Stik pack rod is a mess of angles and straight sections when bent. It seems a little too light for big fish and hard use, but is the ideal small cheap pack rod to have with you in the truck or on a hike.


1 out of 5 stars Not what was in the description   June 9, 2010

The description was for a rod and reel and ended up just receiving the rod. I contacted Boating Savings the company that shipped the item to me and they told me Amazon had made a mistake in the description. I was informed that I could return the product but I decided to keep the rod and purchase some reels to complete the set. I am dissapointed that the description has not changed yet and hope more people don't make the same mistake I did.


4 out of 5 stars A nice light portable rod   June 2, 2010
Paul Nelson (illinois)
this is the ideal pole for someone who travels. The only drawback might be that it might loosens up on a cast. I found the solution in using some electrical tape. The pole is responsive and stiff enough to feel a nibble.

Shakespeare Medium Action Travel Mate Combo (6-Feet 6-Inch)

I used this rod on a recent trip to Belize where it was used to catch several species of fish. Used with 10# braided line it performed great. It casts light lures very well and has the sensitivity and 'backbone' to handle practically any reef fish.

The ability to pack it in a small travel bag and eliminate the need to worry about it as hand luggage makes it the ideal travel rod. A great buy for the price!
