TALKING CARP MAGAZINE – RIGGED AND READY FEATURE

We’ve got some exciting news — Rigged & Ready Travel Fishing Rods have been featured in Talking Carp magazine!

The article, written by angler Anthony Wood (a long-time fan of Rigged & Ready), shares his journey from carrying bulky fishing rods and excessive tackle to discovering a smarter, more versatile way to fish.

If you’re into fishing, angling, carp fishing, or travel fishing rods, this one will hit home.

From Heavy Gear to Travel Freedom

Like many anglers, Anthony got fed up with hauling too much fishing tackle — especially as a multi-species angler.

After discovering Rigged & Ready travel fishing rods, everything changed.

He now fishes exclusively with our rods and reels across different styles of fishing — including carp — thanks to their compact design, versatility, and performance.

The Rigged & Ready Story

Rigged & Ready started with a simple idea — create a high-quality travel fishing rod that doesn’t compromise on performance.

Andy Rigg founded the company in 2016 (with the original idea for the brand forming during an overseas travel experience in 2009), which has since grown from a family-operated business in the Lake District to now a global presence in the fishing and angling world.

Today, anglers around the world trust Rigged & Ready for:

• Travel fishing rods built for real-world use

• Innovative multi-tip rod systems

• Durable, lightweight construction

• Compact setups that fit your lifestyle

From the Smuggler Series to the Predator Series and Fish Rig Series, every rod is designed to help you:

Go Anywhere. Fish Everywhere.

Designed for Performance & Versatility

Anthony highlights what sets Rigged & Ready apart from traditional fishing rods:

• Multiple interchangeable tips for different fishing styles

• Strong materials like carbon, graphite, hi-glass and Toray carbon

• Medium to powerful actions depending on setup

• True travel-friendly rod lengths without sacrificing casting ability

Whether you’re targeting carp, predators, or exploring new waters, these rods adapt to you — not the other way around.

Spotlight: X Max Travel Fishing Rod

One standout from the article is the Rigged & Ready X Max Travel Fishing Rod Combo — a serious bit of kit for carp anglers.

Why the X Max stands out:

• Casting weight up to 3.5oz

• Test curve up to 3lb (depending on setup)

• Designed for bigger, stronger fish like carp

• Compact, multi-section design — perfect for travel and mobile anglers

If you’re looking for a carp fishing rod that’s portable but powerful, the X Max is a top choice.
