A Full Size Inshore Rod Built to Travel
Most travel rods start with portability and ask you to accept the compromises. The Slam Stick Traveler was designed the other way around.
You get a full 7 foot 6 inch inshore spinning rod with interchangeable sections that let you change the power and action based on how you are fishing. Each Traveler kit gives you four different rod configurations without requiring you to pack four full length rods.
The result is a premium saltwater travel spinning rod designed for anglers who care just as much about casting control, sensitivity and fish fighting performance away from home as they do on their local water.
It was built for anglers who want a rod that is easier to travel with without giving up the length, versatility and feel they expect from their primary inshore setup.

1/8 ounce through 3/4 ounce depending on configuration
Line range:
6 pound through 15 pound depending on configuration

Choose this kit if you regularly fish heavier presentations or want additional power for larger inshore fish.
The kit lets you choose between Medium and Medium Heavy power, along with Fast and Moderate Fast actions.

One Rod Kit That Can Adjust to the Trip
Travel fishing rarely gives you the luxury of bringing every rod from home. One day you may be casting smaller presentations across a shallow flat. The next may call for a heavier lure and more power.
The Traveler gives you the ability to change the rod instead of being locked into one power and one action for the entire trip.
That versatility is the real advantage of the system. You are not simply buying a rod that breaks down for transportation. You are getting a customizable inshore rod system that happens to travel well.
Designed Around Inshore Spinning Reels
Guide spacing is designed for spinning reels in the 2500 through 4000 size range, giving you flexibility to match the reel to the Traveler configuration you are using.
The lighter configurations pair naturally with smaller inshore reels, while the more powerful configurations give you room to step up when the situation calls for additional line capacity or drag.

Travel Case Included
Every Slam Stick Traveler includes a protective case with a shoulder strap to keep the sections organized while you are on the move.
The case measures approximately 33 inches long and 3.5 inches in diameter.
Airline baggage rules vary, so always check the size requirements for your specific carrier before flying.
Want More Flexibility From the Same Kit?
A separate Slam Stick handle section is available if you want the ability to assemble more than one of your Traveler configurations at the same time.
Assembly Matters
The Traveler sections are intentionally designed so they do not sit completely flush when assembled.
A small gap of approximately one half inch between joined sections is normal. The sections should be seated securely, but excessive force is not necessary.
Proper assembly helps maintain a secure fit while making the sections easier to separate after fishing.
