Sweet Travel Rod
Well made great looking rod. The spigot ferrule will take some getting used to, the gap when seated does not feel right and looks awkward. Performance will be the real judge, I will trust the rod's designers to know their craft.
The rod has one hell of a backbone and should have no problem landing an AJ.

ConsLanded at the Gulf Coast the week of Tropical Storm Gordon, no boating for me, I should have bought the Surf Rod version, hmmm.

Seriously heavy duty travel rod
Bought this for deep dropping from a head oat, while traveling with the family. It should handle 16 ounces of lead and meat while dragging for tilefish without a problem. It's not light, but the quality is really good. Since I can't take a one piece in the van with the kids, this is the best option.

The Daiwa Lexa WN Baitcasting Reel 300 size does fit on this rod but it is not ideal. Rather than a baitcaster I suggest pairing this rod with a conventional reel.

Will the NT-S-703M-MH pair well with the Shimano Saragosa 10000?
1 Answers
The 10000 would be a bit heavy for the NT-S-703M-MH. The 8000 would be the best size to pair the model rod your choosing.

I just tested the 6000 size battle on the Nomad NT-S-703M-MH and the reel is too big. i would recommend using a size 4000 Battle on the Nomad rod.

Hello
I have a travel rod in the 15 to 40 pound range and looking for a good reel to pair with it that I can use a reel clamp with the ALPS triangular reel seat. I can't find a reel that can fit on the reel seat with a clamp. Suggestions?
1 Answers
Wil, I checked out a couple of reels in the Avet line. The smallest reel that will fit your rod is the LX and JX. The combo feels very good in your hand and is very balanced.

Hi John,
Thanks for the previous information you have given me, re. Okuma Nomad Travel Rods.
I have bought the Model, NT-S-703L-ML from TackleDirect sometime ago but as of this time have not use it.
I am also planning to buy the spinning reel and braided line to use for this particular rod.
Could you please advice me the appropriate saltwater spinning reel and the line weight of braided lines for 2 tips (10~20/ 12~30 lbs) that will suit the rod perfectly?
I request your recommendations before I will make the purchase.
Many thanks.
Vic
