Travel rod for handling bonefish to 30lb GTs?

[klainz]

Hi guys,

anyone have any advice about a good travel rod that could flick smaller lures/plastics (down to 3/8 ounce jig heads to 30-40g poppers for GTs). I'm heading over to christmas island for some bonefishing but want to bring a spin stick to have a go at some reef species and medium size GTs that cruise the flats that would probably decimate my 8 weight.

Yeah, not realistic trying to get one rod to fit all but I'm thinking if I go lighter then it will expand my options but still give me half a chance at a GT.

Any thoughts?

I have a nitro viper 6-8kg travel rod. Comes with a rod tube too.

I have the same rod and love it,

but might be stretched a bit on a 30lb 13.5 kg GT's.

+1 for the nitro viper. They make great rods. The 5piece packs down really nicely.

Bonefish to g.ts that's a big stretch

I just bought 2 recently for my overseas fishing trip. I got the 2 Daiwa Saltist Demon Blood casting rods. I don't know how they fare but just letting you know about them.

I'm planning on chasing river catfish and arapaima with them.
