When traveling, whether it’s business or pleasure, taking a standard 4 piece rod can often not be an option. Each TRIP rod breaks down to 8 15″ pieces and fits in to its 18″ long case.

Review: Great travel rod - I bought this rod to travel with and for the ability to put in my backpack and meet airline regs. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it performs. I was casting a sink tip line into the surf and off jetties and it shot my fly out with a double haul like a dream. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It felt great in my hand and to cast. Love it!!!
Review: Tip broke - Tip broke 1 year into owning the rod. Upsetting after months of research, talking to other fly fishermen, and going outside my normal rod purchase. I did like the compactness for traveling! Hoping the warranty process works out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great travel rod
*by B***. on July 3, 2023*

I bought this rod to travel with and for the ability to put in my backpack and meet airline regs. I was pleasantly surprised at how well it performs. I was casting a sink tip line into the surf and off jetties and it shot my fly out with a double haul like a dream. I couldn’t ask for anything more. It felt great in my hand and to cast. Love it!!!

### ⭐ Tip broke
*by K***W on April 13, 2025*

Tip broke 1 year into owning the rod. Upsetting after months of research, talking to other fly fishermen, and going outside my normal rod purchase. I did like the compactness for traveling! Hoping the warranty process works out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Pack Rod
*by S***C on June 12, 2022*

I was looking for a rod that broke down small enough to fit in my backpack while biking in the backcountry. This one fit the bill perfectly. 9’ 5-weight with medium action is pretty much the perfect all-purpose rod. The guys at Echo know how to design and build great rods at a reasonable price and that definitely includes this one. I typically switch between dry flies, dry/ dropper, euro nymphs and indicator rigs throughout the day and this rod accomplishes all of that with aplomb. If I’ve described the rod you are looking for I’m pretty sure you’ll be pleased.
