Customer Reviews

I submitted a claim nearly 2 months ago and had not heard back. I finally spent a few hours on phone support which left me wanting to change brands. For how expensive this rod is, to miss all of striper season and have to call them with a few hour wait on hold, they to ship a new tip section, then after more discussion waived the shipping fee for the tip. The claim has an option for an upgrade. This actually just means they will charge you for a new rod also, not just that they will charge you to get shipped one tiny section of a poor quality product. Stay away. Awful.

I purchased a 10' 4 piece surf rod for a trip to Panama. I took it out to Lake Michigan in Milwaukee on a warm day before our trip and I broke the tip. After going home (sick to my stomach - as this is the most expensive rod I've purchased to date, and it broke on my first use), I registered it - within the 30 day window. I then filed a warranty claim. I called a few days later to confirm I did everything correctly (you should call if you need warranty service - they don't seem to respond very quickly to the web forms). I asked for the 9'. Unfortunately I got a 2 piece in the mail a couple days later, which didn't really work for me.

I called again, and this time had a rod two business days before my Panama trip.

I have not fished it in salt water yet, but the customer service works really hard and the warranty is something they stand behind.

I took my 9” Triumph Travel Surf rod to the Bahamas for spring break earlier this year. It’s paired with a Penn Battle III 4000 with braided line. Just fit diagonally in my checked suitcase. Worked great on the beach and from the rocks. Great rod. Can’t wait to take it to Florida this winter.

My 9' Triumph Travel Rod has been all over the world with me and will be going to Hawaii again next week. It is a luxurious-feeling travel rod that I always enjoy taking out for a session on the reef - even when I'm at home. It can comfortably handle everything from Surf Perch to Kingfish. I really like the sensitivity of the 9' setup. It feels like something much shorter and more responsive in the hand. The travel case is brilliant, and St. Croix's service is excellent. I broke a tip off while on holiday (my fault), and was able to get a replacement tip section quickly and easily.

An update to my previous review. St Croix has since replaced the rod with the broken tip. I own 7 of these rods that the family takes on our beach vacations. A great travel rod.

Rockaway Travel Surf Rods

Brand: Okuma

Product Code: RST-S-863MH

Availability: Out of stock

Okuma has expanded its acclaimed Rockaway series to bring you the Rockaway Travel Surf Rods. These new rods are specifically designed to cater to all your travel fishing needs, ensuring that you have the right gear on hand to snag that next personal best no matter where your adventures take you.

Rockaway Travel Surf Rods boast several exciting features that make them stand out from the competition. Crafted from premium quality 24-ton carbon fiber material, the rod blanks in the Rockaway Travel Surf Rods are not only incredibly lightweight but also remarkably strong. This results in a durable and responsive rod that can withstand the rigors of fishing while reducing fatigue during prolonged casting and retrieving. Additionally, the rods are equipped with UFR-II technology, providing the ultimate flex reinforcement in the rod tip.

When it comes to components, XQ series angled Sea Guide 316-Stainless steel frames with Zirconium inserts offer compatibility for both braid and mono while the 3-pcs blank construction with tip over butt ferrule connections makes it easy to pack and transport the rods wherever your travels take you. The tapered shrink tube grips offer a non-slip surface and durability, while the rounded EVA butt cap provides improved leverage when casting. The Rockaway Travel Surf Rods feature five total spinning models in a medium-heavy rod power. The rod lengths will range from 8-foot sixinch to twelve-foot and will feature either a medium-fast or medium rod taper.

What is Proposition 65?

Proposition 65 is a California law that applies to companies selling products in California. Proposition 65 requires warnings if a product contains any listed chemical present above very low levels. Proposition 65’s warning standards are among the most stringent in the world. Proposition 65 is not a product safety law, but rather a "right-to-know" law. Businesses are required to provide warnings to comply with Proposition 65.

There are over 800 chemicals on the Proposition 65 list, which is administered by California's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), a part of the California Environmental Protection Agency. The list includes naturally occurring and man-made chemicals. Proposition 65 warnings can be seen for a wide variety of everyday consumer products, including electronic equipment, and warnings can be seen posted throughout California in a variety of establishments such as buildings, hotels, restaurants, coffee shops, and stores.

Why do you see the warning on our packaging and website?

The warning is part of our ongoing effort to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986 (known as "Proposition 65").

We carry travel surf and spin rods for a variety of fishing situations.

Some crazy fishing adventures need portability that a one or two-piece rod can't provide, and that's where travel rods step in.

Whether saltwater or freshwater, modern multi-piece travel rods vastly out perform rods from not that long ago. Advanced ferrule technology keeps tapers and action smooth as well as light and strong.

Savvino-storozhevsky monastery and museum.

Zvenigorod's most famous sight is the Savvino-Storozhevsky Monastery, which was founded in 1398 by the monk Savva from the Troitse-Sergieva Lavra, at the invitation and with the support of Prince Yury Dmitrievich of Zvenigorod. Savva was later canonised as St Sabbas (Savva) of Storozhev. The monastery late flourished under the reign of Tsar Alexis, who chose the monastery as his family church and often went on pilgrimage there and made lots of donations to it. Most of the monastery’s buildings date from this time. The monastery is heavily fortified with thick walls and six towers, the most impressive of which is the Krasny Tower which also serves as the eastern entrance. The monastery was closed in 1918 and only reopened in 1995. In 1998 Patriarch Alexius II took part in a service to return the relics of St Sabbas to the monastery. Today the monastery has the status of a stauropegic monastery, which is second in status to a lavra. In addition to being a working monastery, it also holds the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum.

Belfry and Neighbouring Churches

Located near the main entrance is the monastery's belfry which is perhaps the calling card of the monastery due to its uniqueness. It was built in the 1650s and the St Sergius of Radonezh’s Church was opened on the middle tier in the mid-17th century, although it was originally dedicated to the Trinity. The belfry's 35-tonne Great Bladgovestny Bell fell in 1941 and was only restored and returned in 2003. Attached to the belfry is a large refectory and the Transfiguration Church, both of which were built on the orders of Tsar Alexis in the 1650s.  

To the left of the belfry is another, smaller, refectory which is attached to the Trinity Gate-Church, which was also constructed in the 1650s on the orders of Tsar Alexis who made it his own family church. The church is elaborately decorated with colourful trims and underneath the archway is a beautiful 19th century fresco.

Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is the oldest building in the monastery and among the oldest buildings in the Moscow Region. It was built between 1404 and 1405 during the lifetime of St Sabbas and using the funds of Prince Yury of Zvenigorod. The white-stone cathedral is a standard four-pillar design with a single golden dome. After the death of St Sabbas he was interred in the cathedral and a new altar dedicated to him was added.

Under the reign of Tsar Alexis the cathedral was decorated with frescoes by Stepan Ryazanets, some of which remain today. Tsar Alexis also presented the cathedral with a five-tier iconostasis, the top row of icons have been preserved.

Tsaritsa's Chambers

The Nativity of Virgin Mary Cathedral is located between the Tsaritsa's Chambers of the left and the Palace of Tsar Alexis on the right. The Tsaritsa's Chambers were built in the mid-17th century for the wife of Tsar Alexey - Tsaritsa Maria Ilinichna Miloskavskaya. The design of the building is influenced by the ancient Russian architectural style. Is prettier than the Tsar's chambers opposite, being red in colour with elaborately decorated window frames and entrance.

At present the Tsaritsa's Chambers houses the Zvenigorod Historical, Architectural and Art Museum. Among its displays is an accurate recreation of the interior of a noble lady's chambers including furniture, decorations and a decorated tiled oven, and an exhibition on the history of Zvenigorod and the monastery.

Palace of Tsar Alexis

The Palace of Tsar Alexis was built in the 1650s and is now one of the best surviving examples of non-religious architecture of that era. It was built especially for Tsar Alexis who often visited the monastery on religious pilgrimages. Its most striking feature is its pretty row of nine chimney spouts which resemble towers.
