klainz Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 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?

Novicefisherman Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 I have a nitro viper 6-8kg travel rod. Comes with a rod tube too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blood Knot Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 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. Cheers Blood Knot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanRob Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 +1 for the nitro viper. They make great rods. The 5piece packs down really nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hottyscotty Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
