Travel Fly Rods Are An Excellent Gift For The Angler

By Clinton Sherfey


One of the most enjoyable sports in the world is fishing. From the icy shores of Alaska to the hot rivers of Africa, there will be someone with a pole in the water. With these many anglers, there are numerous poles, line weights, reels, and so forth being used. One type of pole that is becoming very popular and is composed of 5 to 7 pieces, are the travel fly rods.

Starting out slowly, today these rods have improved their performance a great deal. Published reviews show that they can perform as well as the traditional models with their long and accurate casts. In addition to the standard the travel fly kind there are also multi-piece fly and custom fly rods, which perform equally well.

The advantages of owning one of these types of fishing gear is multiple, including the fact that they are easily collapsed and packable. There are other features according to the brand ordered but it is easy to find those whose manufacturing includes things such as aluminum oxide guides, AA cork, alignment oxide guides, and dots, and have either a freshwater or a saltwater reel seat made of anodized aluminum. All come in an excellent case with sleeve dividers.

With these travel fly units it is possible to make a selection that is designed for that particular type of fish and fishing. Although there are many brands on the market the most satisfaction will come from one that is of high quality with a minimum of four sections. With this wide selection, it is easy to find one that will fit within the budget.

Although there are numerous weights available, in these it is always better to go with one that is lightweight and that has a good warranty. On some units, these warranties are for a lifetime. In addition, lightweight models are just that. They are made of lightweight materials, which make them easier to cast as well as easier to carry.

If possible, finding a shop that allows testing various models prior to making a selection is a good idea. Others have 'on site' casting facilities, or even will allow a model to be taken out 'on approval'. This allows one to get a real 'feel' of the rod prior to making a purchase.

Currently multi-piece, custom, and standard travel fly rods are getting extremely positive reviews in the angler magazines. Comments have been made that they are not only capable of punching out a long and accurate cast but are sensitive and forgiving as well. It has been found that this is one of the most appreciated gifts an angler can receive for any occasion.
