Gear Review: Toadfish Travel Spinning Rods

What is it.

Toadfish Travel Spinning Rods

WHAT SETS IT APART?

Individual rod pieces are neatly organized in a fold-out cloth wrap with individual slots. This immediately benefits the entire process of unpacking, packing and storing by securing multiple pieces in sensible spacing that prevents the usual headache of trying to shove multiple pieces into a travel container one at a time. Available in 7-foot, 2-inch medium/medium heavy and 6-foot, 8-inch medium/medium light options. Made of 30/40-ton high carbon graphite blanks with spigot ferrule connections for the feel of a one-piece rod. Features include Kigan 3D stainless steel tangle-free guides, soft-touch rubber handle inlays for secure grip and hidden-hook safe keeper positioned inside the handle.

HOW DO I USE IT? 

Versatility is the name of the game here, as Toadfish provides the ability to carry four rod actions in a single compact travel tube. Essentially, a three-piece rod kit designed for traveling anglers, the package includes five pieces: two interchangeable mid-sections, two interchangeable tip sections and an ergonomic Toadfish handle. Neatly contained in a crush-proof aluminum travel tube, this kit allows anglers to mix and match rod pieces to create the action they need.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT: 

Deciding whether or not to take a travel rod sounds like an easy “yes” — even if you’re not certain if, or how much, you’ll be able to fish. But sometimes, the challenge of trying to figure out which rod (if space and time are limited) to take can become a self-limiter. Toadfish has simplified the decision by putting multiple options in one convenient package. With pieces that interchange quickly and smoothly and a container that can handle tight squeezes in a packed vehicle or airline overhead bin, this travel rod set will help anglers maximize their opportunities.

Toadfish Travel Fishing Rod Review [VIDEO]

The Toadfish Travel Rod comes in its own protective carrying case (without the reel in the video, of course).

#1 – Multiple Midsection & Tip Pieces

The most unique feature of the Toadfish Travel Rod is that it actually comes with different rod tips you can choose from.

It is actually a 4-in-1 fishing rod setup.

The base piece of the rod is the same but the midsection can be changed out so you can control the power of the rod and change it to your liking.

The midsection options are Medium-Heavy and Medium, and the tip sections come in Moderate-Action and Fast-Action pieces.

I personally have been using the Medium-Heavy midsection paired with the Fast-Action rod tip.

The added bonus to tailoring the rod to your liking is if you are on a trip and you accidentally break your rod tip, you have an extra tip in the bag you can use.

Yes, it will have different action but you at least have a backup plan in the worst-case scenario.

#2 – Performance

Moreover, the actual feel of these fishing rods have been very impressive for a multi-piece rod.

The Fast-Action blank and Medium-Heavy midsection combo is what I like best for most of the artificial lures I use (paddletails, jerk baits, topwater plugs, etc).

If you are going to use live bait, then it would be best to switch to the Moderate action tip.

#3 – High-Quality Materials

The components of this rod are of high-quality and everything seems to have been carefully thought out.

Additionally, the carrying case is super durable and if you travel a lot, you will NOT be worried about your gear getting damaged.

#1 – Multi-Piece Rods VS. Single Blank Rods

Multi-piece fishing rods are simply not going to perform as well as single blank rods.

If you can travel and fish well with a one-piece rod, then stick to what works for you.

The extra material that goes into each connection along the rod adds weight and are of higher risk to break.

#2 – Overall Weight

The blank of this rod is slightly heavier than other single-piece rods of its kind.

The butt section is also slightly heavier than normal.

However, the rod itself balances very well with a 2500-size reel.

#3 – Price

There are a lot of travel rods out there that are less expensive than Toadfish.

This setup comes in at just short of $200.

My impression is that the high-quality materials and ability to change out rod pieces to control power are what make it so unique.

This Toadfish travel rod has proven to be a great option for fishermen who do a lot of traveling. In fact, it’s my favorite travel rod that I have come across to date.

Given how well it did in the testing, we added it to our online fishing store to help Insider Members get these rods at a great price.

If you have used this Toadfish travel rod or other travel rods in the past, please let us know your personal experiences down in the comments section!

I love my toad fish rod. it casts so far and it handles fish really well. It has the perfect bend but still has great sensitivity, and amazing accuracy when casting and sniping under docks.

Great review Luke. Can you do a review for the new Bull Bay assault rod?

I’ve got a couple of Okuma Nomad travel spinning rods (no longer made) with two tips (med and med lt) that work pretty well. We’ve used in Florida and Belize. Their case wasn’t as nice and I ended up using a different case when we travel. I’m gonna be sad when it comes time to replace them, as I’ll have to spend 2-3x what I paid for them 5 years ago. It’s hard to find travel spinning rods for inshore fishing that are decent quality and affordable. It seems like you can find light and ultralight backpacking rods, cheap telescoping of questionable origin, or premium rods with prices to match. There’s no ” about a $100″ options anymore.

I recently bought 2 Daiwa Ardito TR 3 Pc Spinning Travel Rods, One is 7′ and the other 7’6″. I recently used the 7’6″ in Florida fishing in the Indian River and caught a couple of Speckled Sea Trout as well as a bunch of Jack Crevalle. The rod performed extremely well with a Daiwa 3000 Saltist. A couple of the Jacks were a nice size and really gave me a work out. I can really recommend these rods which are nice and light and a very reasonable price range.$139.00 and they come in a very nice Carry Case (which fits easily into the Airplane Overhead) I would recommend you check them out.

Thanks for the review Luke. I have a couple Bass Pro Shop ProSeries 3 piece rods that come with a case, but I’m going to try this one for sure.

Those travel rods look AWESOME! Might have to pick up one here soon!

I am interested in the Travel rod for my Alaska trip, but I need to know how long the case is and if the rod can handle a one ounce Lure. Can anyone tell me as I can not see this info on the reviews.

The case for the 7’2″ rod is 32.5″, and the 6’8″ rod case is 31″.

The 7’2″ rod is rated for lures up to 1 ounce (I’m not sure about the 6’8″ one).

Do you happen to have the length of the sections? I am looking for a travel rod that will work with my Patagonia rod roll, it will fit sections up to 27″.

Doesn’t anyone fly? Most airlines in the USA now have a 22 inch or 24 inch maximum length. I have flown to both Mexico and Costa Rica with my 32 inch travel rod as carry-on but be denied on the return. Same airline. So be ready to pay extra luggage! And enjoy the great fishing you had.

IT IS NOT THE AIRLINE. DIFFERENT COUNTRIES HAVE DIFFERENT RULES . That why most of the time you can get there but the return has different restrictions

Thanks for posting the helpful details on traveling with fishing rods Paul!

Thanks for letting us know to be careful about the tube lengths John.

TSA permits carry-on fishing rods but defers to the airlines to set their size limitations: https://www.tsa.gov/travel/security-screening/whatcanibring/items/fishing-pole

Carry-on Luggage Sizes: Size Restrictions by Airline: https://travel.usnews.com/features/carry-on-luggage-sizes-size-restrictions-by-airline (AS OF 5/25/22)

Very interesting, thank you. Get that poor dog a new frisbee!

The unfortunately was his new frisbee… he is quick to demolish them.

The Fenwick Methods system is very similar and has been on the market for years. I’ve been using my Methods rod for years now, and of course find it very easy to carry on an airplane or stow in the car. The biggest “con” that I have experienced is that I almost never need the “faster” and “heavier action” rod segments, and from your description, the Toadfish may have that same drawback. Is there a travel rod out there that is more on the lighter action side than the Methods or Toadfish?

Thanks for posting the helpful comment Robert. The MH mid section along with the Fast action tip feels similar to a Medium TFO Pro rod that I really like for all purpose inshore fishing. So switching to the Medium power mid and moderate tip would definitely get a lighter action feel.

I would think the heavier mid section for power and lighter tip would be the way to go for sensotivity throwing lighter say 1/8 oz jigs and power to land that big fish whem it hits….am i wrong. Any advice would be appreciated. Im a member and considering buying for my wife and I for a St.John US virgin islands trip but wanting to find purpose for it here in Florida.

A good addition to the SS Tackle Store. I’ve had the Toadfish Travel Rod for a couple years. I keep it permanently in my vehicle so it can be used anytime I see fish action or a great looking spot. I especially like the versatility of this rod which can be setup in different power and action combinations suitable for largemouth bass to nearshore saltwater species. The metal storage tube is virtually indestructible.

Thanks for posting the helpful comment Rob!

Travel fishing rods are easy to pack for a trip, and the good ones fish like a one-piece rod. Over the past several decades, rods have gotten longer because more length typically equals better casts and more leverage on big fish. For example, the 5-foot 6-inch pistol grips that dominated bass fishing into the 1980s have been replaced almost entirely by rods that are 7 feet and up. Unfortunately, luggage costs and rules have also exploded at this same time, meaning that it’s not always feasible to take an oversized 7- or 8-foot rod tube on distant trips. That’s doubly true if you’ll be getting on a floatplane or your luggage size is otherwise restricted.

Travel rods aren’t solely for air travel, though. If you’re an urban angler getting on a subway, they may be your best choice. If you want something to keep in your car or backpack in case you pass by a tasty-looking fishery, they’re prime choices. In the past, the options were often limited. Either manufacturers took an existing blank and added rudimentary ferrules, or it was a bargain basement combo that required a staple remover to get out of the package and that couldn’t stand up to farm pond bluegills. Fortunately, many manufacturers have recognized the need for better travel tools, and they’ve heeded the call. 

I get to do a lot of traveling with fishing rods as a writer and host of exotic fishing trips. I’ve been to the Alaskan wilderness, through the Amazon jungle, and on every major bass lake in the U.S. and Mexico. Those destinations require a plane ride, and while I don’t always pack multi-piece rods, it’s given me the chance to test out many of the best. Here are my picks for the best travel fishing rods.

• Best for Bass: Abu Garcia I.K.E. Signature Series Travel Casting Rod
• Most Innovative: Daiwa Ardito-TR Travel Casting and Spinning Rod
• Best for Inshore: Falcon Traveler Coastal Spinning Rod
• Best Budget: Shakespeare Ugly Stik GX2 Travel Spinning Combo
• Best Finesse: Wild Side Light Spinning Rod
• Best Premium Casting: Megabass Triza Travel Rod  
• Most Versatile :  Toadfish Travel Spinning Rod
• Best Bait Finesse :  KastKing Kestrel 3-Piece Rods
• Best Premium Spinning : Shimano Zodias 5-Piece Travel Spinning Rods

How I Tested the Best Travel Fishing Rods

I’ve taken these travel rods all over the globe and all over the country, fishing for species both exotic and mundane. More importantly, though, I’ll admit that I’ve abused them. They’ve been shoved in suitcases, walked through dense forests, and used for lures outside of their supposed range. That’s the nature of the travel game. Coming home from Mexico, officials forced me to check a carrying case that I’d carried on for the trip South of the Border, and my rods returned in one piece—or rather in their original configurations of multiple pieces. When possible, though, I like keeping them at my side, and I’m usually able to do so. It also enables me to bring a rod and reel or the occasions when I travel for a non-fishing purpose but might be able to sneak away to make a few casts.

Best Travel Fishing Rods: Reviews & Recommendations

Key Features

• Length: 7 feet
• Packed Length: 28 inches
• Three pieces
• Comes with both medium (1/4-3/4 ounce lures) and medium-heavy (3/8-1 ounce) tip sections
• Soft travel case included
• Versatility means you only need to carry one rod
• Comfortable E.V.A. handle
• Great value
• Included case isn’t crushproof; should not be checked on airlines

Abu Garcia, worked with Bassmaster Classic champion Mike “Ike” Iaconelli, to design the Ike Signature Series Travel Rod. Ike is known for his wins on the pro bass circuit, but he’s also known for his urban angling adventures. Traveling by bus, bike, plane, and train to those urban fishing spots were the inspiration for his travel rod. 

The best feature of the rod is the included interchangeable tip sections that provide different actions. They are a tremendous value, since the rod doesn’t sacrifice on components. They include 36-ton graphite blanks, stainless steel guides, and a premium Fuji reel seat. Ike carried this rod worldwide on his television fishing exploits for a wide range of species, but his heart remains with bass, and that’s where this rod excels, for everything from soft plastics to crankbaits to spinnerbaits . Anglers who expect to use finesse presentations can buy the spinning version.

Daiwa has built a rod—and specifically, a rod handle—that will accommodate both spinning and baitcasting reels when configured appropriately. That means you don’t have to choose one or the other when you’re limited to one travel rod. What’s most impressive is that they’ve somehow developed a blank that doesn’t feel awkward in either role. It includes X45 graphite construction that prevents blank twisting and truly performs like a one-piece. I took this rod to Zambia for tigerfish, where it performed admirably with a baitcasting reel, and then used it at home to skip Senkos under docks with a spinning rod. It’s not truly a finesse spinning rod, but could handle light baits with plenty of backbone to extract hard-pulling bass from gnarly cover.

• Medium action
• Lure weight: ¼ to ½ ounce 
• Bargain priced
• Durable full cork handle
• High-quality components
• Some anglers may not like the moderate action

If you’re chasing redfish or speckled trout on the Gulf Coast, or bonefish and snook in the Everglades or Keys, you need a rod that will simultaneously make pinpoint presentations that also has the heft to muscle outsized, super-strong fish away from cover. This rod is light but mighty and fits the bill. The Coastal Traveler series also has a baitcasting model in the lineup. They’ll both do double-duty in freshwater, although Falcon also provides Lowrider series travel rods for that purpose. All of them include cork handles (full in the case of the Coastal, split-grip on the Lowriders), Fuji K-Frame tangle-free guides, and a blank through reel seat. All come with a crushproof, three-section Cordura-coated case with the rod’s specifications printed on the outside.

• Lengths: 5 feet 6 inches and 6 feet 6 inches 
• Comes with matching reel
• Three or four pieces
• Rod and reel packaged together for the price of one
• Four-bearing spinning reel
• Strong guides will stand up to braided line
• Cloth rod and reel travel bag cannot be checked

The Ugly Stik brand has been synonymous with strength and value for decades, and Shakespeare continues to refine the products while keeping them at rock bottom prices. These three spinning combos—one light action, two medium action—all come with a four-bearing reel and rods that combine graphite and fiberglass construction. While the cloth carrying case may not be crushproof, this combo will stand up to just about anything you can dish out. That makes it a great option for kids or beginners, but you’ll be surprised at the wide range of species it can handle across the globe without any fear of failure.

• Length: 6 feet 3 inches
• Packed Length: 22 inches
• Action: Light
• Five pieces
• Ultra compact 
• Innovative ferrules maintain one-piece feel
• High modulus graphite

Wild Side’s U.S. distributor Arundel Tackle claims that this rod is “made for the overhead bin, NOT baggage claim.” It comes with a rectangular carrying case that weighs a mere 2 ounces and will slide easily into your carry-on. More importantly, they’ve somehow taken a five-piece rod and eliminated any traditional multi-piece imprecision. That might be because they use refined spigot ferrules that do a solid job of maintaining a one-piece flow. This has become a go-to Ned Rig rod when I’m bass fishing at home, but it has so many other uses where it’ll excel. These include stream trout fishing, pan fishing, and light saltwater use. The high-quality cork and E.V.A. split handle are comfortable for all day fishing and match up with any lightweight spinning reel.

Best Premium: Megabass Triza Travel Rod  

• Lengths (casting): 6-feet, 6-inches; 6-feet, 8-inches; 6-feet, 9-inches; 7-feet; 7-feet, 2-inches   
• Available in five baitcasting and two spinning models
• Lure Weights: 1/32 ounce to 3 ounces
• Wide range of actions for a full range of techniques
• Built one at a time for attention to detail
• Gorgeous peacock wood reel seats and hand-drawn graphics

Megabass makes everything from the best swimbaits to some of the nicest production rods available. The Triza Travel Rod has typical Megabass quality in a rod that fits in a backpack. Megabass has a lot of experience making travel rods for their Japanese customers, who are often more constrained in terms of space and transportation, and therefore demand them. These premium travel rods are now widely available in America and cover just about every bass fishing technique under the sun—while at the same time being superior for some saltwater and multi-species use. They’re a gorgeous piece of art that would look great displayed, but they’re too solid to sit on the sidelines. Megabass claims they are constructed to their “Triangle” ideal—with a tip section that maximizes tension, a belly section that maximizes torque, and a butt section that maximizes torsional rigidity. These are workhorses that present like show horses.

Most Versatile:  Toadfish Travel Spinning Rod

• 7 feet 2 inches
• Medium/Medium heavy action
• Interchangeable mid and tip sections
• Incredible versatility
• Kigan tangle free guides
• Extremely durable
• Included case is strong but quite heavy

This rod comes with one handle section, two mid-sections, and two tip sections, allowing for five different configurations, making it the most versatile travel rod on the market. That uniqueness is also a huge bonus if you slam a section in a car door or otherwise break one – you lose a bit of that trademark versatility, but you’re not completely out of luck. What’s also nice is that it comes with extremely durable components, including soft-touch rubber handle inlays and a handle that will stand up to the most you can dish out, including saltwater exposure. It’s fairly sensitive for a five-piece rod, and the spigot ferrules hold well. The case may be heavy, but you can check it through on the airlines without worrying about damage.

Best Bait Finesse:  KastKing Kestrel 3-Piece Rods

• Light-fast action
• IM8 ultra-high modulus graphite blank
• Extremely reasonable price
• One of the few rods in its category
• Very sensitive IM8 high modulus graphite blank
• No case included

The biggest problem with many travel rods is that they’re too vanilla – understandably made to cover a wide range of conditions and species. That’s fine if you just want one for random use, but it doesn’t help anglers with specific needs. KastKing has entered the market with a lot of BFS options and wisely chose to build a three-piece rod in that category. It can handle lures as light as 1/10 ounce, yet, with a balanced baitcasting reel, still has the winch-like power that spinning cannot provide. The rod comes with quality components, including American Tackle Ti forged guides with aluminum oxide Duralight rings, so whether you’re chasing panfish, Alaskan trout, stream smallmouths, or light saltwater species, it’s meant to stand up to a beating. In Asia and Japan, manufacturers have historically made a wider range of multi-piece rods than they do in North America, so it’s a good sign that KastKing is willing to take a calculated risk on this specialty stick.

Best Premium: Shimano Zodias 5-Piece Travel Spinning Rods

• Medium-Light – Fast
• 1/8 – 7/16 ounce lures
• CI4+ Reel Seat maximizes ergonomic comfort
• Fuji guides hold up to the rigors of travel and different kinds of line
• At 5 pieces, incredibly transportable
• Rod case not included

Shimano and brand partner G.Loomis have dipped in and out of the travel rod market for years, producing some top-notch products. Shimano’s bargain-priced Convergence Series is a great value and quality product, but the Zodias will fill the needs of more demanding anglers. It looks and feels like an expensive JDM product, and despite the multiple ferrules functions like a one-piece rod. I liked the Carbon Monocoque grip, and felt that it enhanced sensitivity, even with light lines. It’s also available in a baitcasting rod if that’s your stylistic preference, or if you want to use heavier lines on bigger fish.

While most standard rods are one or possibly two pieces, most travel rods are three or more pieces. Alternatively, they may be telescoping. Either way, they “collapse” or “compress” or “break down” to lengths that will fit in a suitcase or in a small separate carrying case. That makes them easy to take on a plane or stuff under the seat of your vehicle for impromptu fishing adventures.

Many anglers believe that one-piece rods are superior in all instances and will do whatever they can to take them on long-distance fishing trips. Of course that is possible, and there are hard-sided carrying cases that extend up to nearly 10-feet long to transport them. One problem, however, is that the airlines are increasingly restrictive on checking such bags. Even when they allow it, they may be costly. Furthermore, rough baggage handling may result in destruction of or damage to your valuable gear.

Typically commercial airlines will not allow you to carry full-sized rods on airplanes, but they’ll often allow you to carry properly-cased and appropriately-sized travel rods on board. In fact, the T.S.A. guidelines explicitly state that fishing rods are permitted in carry-on and checked bags but note that “passengers should check with the airline to confirm that the fishing rod fits within size limitations for carry-on items.” Some foreign airports and foreign carriers will not allow the same, so be sure to check ahead of time and carry a crushproof case that can be checked if necessary.

Things to Consider When Buying a Travel Fishing Rod

What will you be fishing for.

The same travel rod that excels for panfish might be a liability chasing big saltwater fish in the surf. Today there are enough specialized options that you should be able to cover most extremes and many technical presentations. The trouble comes when you need to do double duty. That may require the purchase of a second rod, or perhaps even making compromises—using a single rod that is a jack of all trades but a master of none.

How compact must it be?

Fewer ferrules or connectors usually (but not always) means better performance. However, the ideal travel or “pack” rod will fit into a small case, which may or may not need to fit within your suitcase. Take careful measurements of your possible dimensions, adding a slight bit for the padding of the case and any internal rod sock that protects your tool.

How will I carry my travel rod?

The best possible scenario is to keep your rod or rods with you at all times, in a padded, crushproof case. That reduces the chances of loss and breakage. However, in the instance that you need to check it, make sure it fits in your other luggage or run the risk of paying a surcharge. Many of these rods come with tubes or cases. Some are better than others, so don’t hesitate to invest in an aftermarket product for peace of mind.

Final Thoughts on the Best Travel Fishing Rods

As I’ve amassed an arsenal of travel rods over the past several years, I’ve seen a shift in my thinking. Previously, I reserved them exclusively for exotic travel to places like Zambia, Mexico, Brazil, and Alaska, and then relegated them to a garage shelf when I returned home. Increasingly, however, I’ve found myself using some of them in my day-to-day angling, in places where I could still take a 7- or 8-foot one-piece rod but now choose instead to take the multi-piece tool. 

Many of the more inexpensive multi-piece rods are still notably less fluid than their one-piece counterparts, but that’s not always the case. Furthermore, if you’re a one-piece snob, you may be surprised at how refined these options have become.

Toadfish Rods - An Honest Review

• fishing rods
• inshore fishing rods
• toadfish rod
• toadfish rod review
• toadfish rods
• toadfish warranty

A little over a year ago, Casey, the owner of Toadfish rods , reached out to see if I would be interested in testing a few of their new fishing rods. I looked over their website with curiosity and was pleasantly surprised to see a unique but visually appealing product. After a little research, I agreed. I am usually very picky about the products I introduce to my viewers. Why may you ask? I take pride in my reputation, and I try and only recommend quality products that get the job done and products that I would personally use. Casey shipped the rods and notified me; it was three short days before they arrived on my doorstep. I remember giving a silent kudos for the rapid shipping and excellent packaging. You might be wondering, why does packaging matter? Well, if a company takes pride in the packaging and service. It's typically a great indicator that the product will also be great. Not always, but I think most would agree that the two correlate. I unboxed the rod on camera and discussed all of the unique features that stood out. If you haven't seen the video, sit back and watch this short clip:

Toadfish First Impression

I think it is safe to say most make a first impression or judgment based on how something looks. Well, the Toadfish rod has swagger. The colors turquoise, gray, and black stand out. The fact that all of their rods are this color gives a signature look that makes them distinguishable from other rod companies on the market. I like the colors because they remind me of the water. I imagine that probably was a motivating factor when designing the look, although I am just speculating. The rod is light but has substance. Have you ever picked something up and instantly assumed it was cheap? Right, when I picked up the Toadfish rod, I liked the feel, sometimes you know when it's right. What impressed me most is the functionality, company cause, and overall product quality. Allow me to elaborate and talk to you about the unique features that were obvious right off the bat.

Toadfish Unique Features

The rod butt was probably the first thing that stood out, it's unique, but it also has a composite/rubber grip that is different from any other rod that I own, and I have hundreds. I have to admit; it took a minute to adjust to the feel but, after a little time, I can say that I like the texture of the grip and handle.

Toadfish Rod Update 12/13/2023

Hey there! It's been a while since I last updated you on my experience with the Toadfish rods, so I wanted to share my thoughts. I've been using them for a few years, and they are still strong. The durability of these rods is truly impressive, and I can't stress enough how much of an excellent value they are for the money. The action and sensitivity are top-notch, and I always feel confident using them. Overall, I highly recommend the Toadfish rods to any fishing enthusiast. Especially if you are looking for quality products that won't break the bank. My only real complaint about the fishing rod is the grip; I'd like to see that improved to be more comfortable, but that is all. Have you tried Toadfish products yet? If so, what are your thoughts? Do you find a good value for the expense? What do you like or dislike? Conclusion The rods have been a great addition to my extensive collection of fishing rods. I always admire companies that are trying to evolve the sport and who bring unique products to the market. If you're looking to try something new, give these guys a shot. Toadfish rods have an average price of $120, it is very little to lose but a ton to gain. Have you personally tried Toadfish rods? What are your overall thoughts? Have they met your expectations? What could be better?

Inshore rods.

LINE:  10-30LB BRAID LURE:  1/4-1oz GUIDE COUNT:  6 Kigan Guides + Tip Guide REAR GRIP LENGTH:  12.5 Inches FULL GRIP LENGTH:  16.5 Inches

The world’s first sheepshead-specific rod. After years of fishing pilings and nearshore wrecks with insufficient tools, Toadfish designed the perfect rod to trick even the cleverest of convicts. Its short length allows you to maneuver in tight spaces and its crisp, powerful backbone keeps fish from wrapping up and popping off. If you love to fish for sheepshead as much as we do, this rod will change your world.

LINE:  6-15LB BRAID LURE:  1/8-5/8oz GUIDE COUNT:  7 Kigan Guides + Tip Guide REAR GRIP LENGTH:  11.5 Inches FULL GRIP LENGTH:  15.5 Inches

Your new go-to rod for light tackle inshore. This versatile rod features a responsive tip section that is fast enough to feel every bump, but not too fast where you pull hooks. The rod loads beautifully with a consistent bend throughout and is a joy to fish. Effortlessly launch jig heads with your favorite soft plastic or toss a popping cork with lightweight baits with ease.

LINE:  8-20LB BRAID LURE:  1/8-3/4oz GUIDE COUNT:  7 Kigan Guides + Tip Guide REAR GRIP LENGTH:  11.5 Inches FULL GRIP LENGTH:  15.5 Inches

This rod is flat-out fun to fish. It’s the perfect length and action for working a variety of baits including walking the dog with your favorite topwater lure. At the same time, it packs the power needed to handle most inshore species with enough give to really enjoy the fight. It is designed to fish braided line, and the Kigan guide train delivers exceptional casting distance.

LINE:  8-20LB BRAID LURE:  1/8-3/4oz GUIDE COUNT:  8 Kigan Guides + Tip Guide REAR GRIP LENGTH:  12.5 Inches FULL GRIP LENGTH:  16.5 Inches

Your classic 7-foot rod just got a little boost. This rod gives you over 10 extra feet in casting distance and provides more fish-fighting control around the boat or yak. It also features an extremely sensitive tip to feel every bump and effortlessly bury the hook.

LINE:  10-30LB BRAID LURE:  1/4-1oz GUIDE COUNT:  8 Kigan Guides + Tip Guide REAR GRIP LENGTH:  12.5 Inches FULL GRIP LENGTH:  16.5 Inches

This is an extremely powerful rod. It’s built for record chasers, jetty junkies, and those that know that big baits produce big fish. It is fast enough to feel everything but slow enough to allow anglers to fish circle hooks and live bait. This rod also works great for your favorite soft plastic jerk bait or swimbait.

LINE:  6-15LB BRAID LURE:  1/8-5/8oz GUIDE COUNT:  8 Kigan Guides + Tip Guide REAR GRIP LENGTH:  12.5 Inches FULL GRIP LENGTH:  16.5 Inches

Your new go-to rod for fishing popping corks. It has the perfect tip for longer casts with that “trout give” you need to land more fish. You can also fish light jig heads on the bottom and feel even the subtlest of bites. With this rod by your side, your friends will be stunned by how often you outfish them.

LINE:  10-50LB BRAID LURE:  1/4-1oz GUIDE COUNT:  8 Kigan Guides + Tip Guide REAR GRIP LENGTH:  13.5 Inches FULL GRIP LENGTH:  17.5 Inches

This rod is designed for making long casts with bigger baits/lures. It features a fast tip and a stout mid-section for controlling big fish around the boat or yak. It is rated for up to 4000 size spinning reels and designed for fishing heavier braided lines. This rod is the perfect balance of power and sensitivity for fishing around structures or hauling big fish out of the mangroves with ease.
