Anglers get a big thrill out of traveling to exotic locales and chasing prodigious numbers of billfish in warm, friendly climes. However, it seems that most travel gear built for fishing is focused more on the fly-fishing or freshwater crowds. Hence, you'll find precious few big-game rods built for traveling on airplanes. CharkBait solves that dilemma with the introduction of a four-piece, saltwater travel rod that stands on its own merits as a functional alternative to one-piece designs.

CharkBait's travel rods feature aluminum, PacBay Channel Lock butts and EVA-foam foregrips for comfort and control. They come in two styles, both of which measure 6 feet, 6 inches. One boasts a 50- to 80-pound rating, while the other lets you target light-tackle species and comes with two tips for a wide range of applications using 20- to 40-pound-test.

The rods' unique gimbaled, screw-together construction provides an extremely solid feel and great lifting power. Unlike other ferrule-type travel rods, CharkBait's rods screw together within the ferrule, so they enjoy twice the strength, and you always get a perfect alignment when putting them together.

These compact rods come apart easily and fit into a 30-inch, well-padded bag that comes with the rods. CharkBait builds its rods out of forgiving fiberglass blanks that work great whether standing up or fishing from a chair.
