Travel rod. Whats the most compact
I'm heading OS in a few weeks, to Borneo. And want to take a rod.
But I need it to be as compact as possible. What's the best 3/4 piece rod.
Cheers Marty

Have a look at the new Pfleuger Trion Trancendent travel rods - baitcast & spin - for around $200
They are 4 piece and the range is from very light (1-3kg) to heavy (5-10kg)...

Yep, T curve travel series, available in a range of line weights, and very small when in pieces, and good quality.

Berkley Nomadic is another option. I've got a 5 piece spin. Very compact, seems alright

Crucis 7244. 7'2", 4-piece, 2-4kg. Nanotech and SiC guides. It's my go to rod for...well, just about everything! Mine's caught bream, casting 2-3gm s/p's, and landed a 55cm Jack without issue. Can't rave about it highly enough. The butt's short enough to cast one-handed, but easily cast two-handed when the need arises.They also do a 71047, as well. 7'10", 4-piece and 4-7kg line. Same configuration as the lighter rod.
That one I use for casting slugs to 35gms. Both retail for less than $160.
Had a Revolution travel, but didn't like the very short butt, so sold it off. Great rod otherwise.

I have two Berkley Nomadic's. Great rods for the $$$.The only problem is the 3-5 kg wont go into a large suitcase. The 4-6 kg is really just a copy of the Nitro magnum butt for a lot less. It is 4 pce and goes easily into a medium / large suitcase. It has a nice soft tip.
