TackleDirect Silver Hook Series Travel Rods

Great deal with the special offer on the Okuma reel. Light weight, cork handle very nice rod

I've been there before, a fish and I together broke a favorite casting rod right at the boat - I rescued the weekend with a 3-pc. back-up casting rod stashed in the kayak bow hold. I've carried the same 3-pc casting stashed out of the way behind a boat seat.
Had a good excuse to buy the TD Silver Hook 3-pc spinning rod - outfitting a friend for a weekend - and it gives me a back-up spinning rod that will now always be there.
The rod blank is gorgeous, moderate graphite that reminds me of an old favorite Loomis GL2 - they're even the same color blue. The sleeve ferrules are efficient, strong, and imperceptible in the rod action.
These are the same grade Fuji components used in TD Platinum Hook rods, which I own two, happily including the discontinued 12-lb-line e-glass offshore spinner. I'd say the workmanship isn't quite up to the Platinum Hook rods, but the price is also half.
Sock and rod tube, and the tube is generous enough for another rod or two - I moved my 3-pc back-up casting rod into the same TD rod tube. If they gave me more photos, I'd show you the TD rod tube in the kayak bow hold...

Great travel rod for a really good price point! Perfect size for bringing on planes.

Bought one to take on plane to Brazil Amazon rain forest peacock bass fishing. Put 300 series Shimano reel 65# power pro braid. Rod held up to rigorous fishing and was perfect for 12# plus peacock bass. Plan on buying the medium to take on walleye trip to Minnesota this spring. Great rod at any price. Fished like a one piece rod. Very impressed.

Bought for an upcoming trip and the quality is great. Case is very nice and has nice action.

I bought the heavier model of this rod and was very happy with it on a recent trip to Panama, Caught a nice Cubera snapper about 15 lbs and a bunch of other snappers Jacks and a few Grouper. Easy to stow in the heavy duty travel tube. Securly stays together and comes apart without a fuss when you need to break it down. Wish they made this series travel rod for conventional reels in the 25- 30 lbs class.

It looks great. Strong and tough. Reasonable price.

This rod looked great right away, the action and power felt just right and the guides were tied on spine. First rods from tackle direct but not the last.

No complaints I’m happy with this rod, it looks and feels nice. On summer beach days it’s barely noticeable once packed away in travel tube. Performed lovely in NJ for fluke on beach days this year with my wife lol.

Feels very high-end. The case is very good quality. Bought to take on trips around Florida, Bahamas, Canada, etc. The case looks like you could fit a second 3-piece travel rod.

I bought this rod specifically for a trip to the Caribbean. First off, the travel case is extreme sturdy and traveled very well as carry on. It easily fit in the plane's overhead storage. As for the rod, I was impressed with the quality of the build for this price point. The pieces held a snug fit and I did not experience any twist. I paired this up with a Daiwa BG 3000 reel for inshore fishing and had no problems handling species like Jack Crevalles and etc. I think I will be buying the medium version of this rod soon!

Nice action, great case

Have not had a chance to take this on a plane yet but have used nearby my home a couple of times. Rod is well built. Guides are all smooth. All pieces fit together nicely. Travel case is sturdy and I know I can fit at least one more travel rod inside. Overall good rod for the cost.

I'm incredibly impressed with the fit and finish of these rods. The quality of the cork handle, reel seat and guides is very comparable to a much more expensive rod. I purchased a 7' Medium to pair up with a 3000 Stradic and I love the combo for traveling. I make bi-monthly trips to South Fla and only a few trips in so far I am really impressed with these rods. The rod tube it comes in might just be the most robust I have ever owned and can fit an extra rod, I carry 2 in mine and its super easy to throw in the overhead bin of any commercial plane and never have to worry about your rods.

Bought this rod for a trip to FL, along with another travel rod that cost more than 2x as much. I used one and my son used the other. With changing bait/lures, we swapped rods many times, and I wouldn't be able to tell you which rod was which without looking at the brand info by the grip.
