Whats the best pole to travel with? Im thinking about a penrod

My g/f is from Warsaw, so I'm partial...

I just make a trident-like spear wherever I go. Works for me.

2 pc ultralight spinning rod with 4 or 6 lb line and a small tackle box of lures.

If you're going really light, 30-50 ft of 8-10 lb line wound around a spool and a few hooks, split shot and bobbers in a bag. Find worms/grasshoppers for bait.

Don't get a telescopic rod, too much potential breakage and weak points. Get a rod that can break in half or carve a sturdy stick and wrap line around it.

Packrod

I got OPs pic related a week ago for 1 bucks tho, i think itll be good as a panfish rod while in kayaking. Ive got a full size for the bigger stuff itll just be nice to have something compact for little pinner fish

This. Cubans know how to make some good shit sometimes.

I had a penrod for a number of years and could never catch a thing, not to mention I have et to find one that isn't poorly constructed

trips confirm

I've always carried one of those Shakespeare black widow or whatever collapsible cane rods.
Caught everything from finger-sized bluegills to 15lb channel cats with it.

Had one of these, the rod snapped long before even the cheap shitty line it came with did, waste of $15. It's great for catching baby goldfish and that's it.

> using a shitty heavy, slow and small reel, not making superior version of a tin can that can also store all your shit

confirmed, I always keep one in my backpack.

In fairness, all you need are a few hooks, some beads and a weight, you can put a 30g (1oz) weight a good 50m (160ft) out into the water with ease

I'm an island dwellers, so I'm never far from the coast and rock/shore fishing is always on the cards for me.

Can't you just use a stick in the wilderness?

>not using your bear hands

Yeah, actual question here, why can't you cut a 2m hazel shoot? Ruler-straight 1,50m+ hazel is all over the place, at least in Europe.

Now catch a striper on it.

Eyelets, proper springyness, different sensitivity at the top, better handle, proper attachment of a reel, way less likely to have a weak point such as a knothole.

Plus all the wood we have in canada is about as straight as freddy mercury

I have a penrod. The spinning version is most reliable, heard the baitcaster sucks. I have caught up to 16 inch bass, medium size brown trout, panfishes and it works good. I use 4lb berkely fireline braided so it adds a bit of smootheness. Good as a backup/packrod for ultralight backpacking. Also have a daiwa minispin 4 pc ultralight. All in all, buy the penrod. Its $17, costs as much as 2 rapalas

more likely they'll live off him...
