THE BEST FISHING ROD FOR MOTORHOMES AND CAMPERVANS!
Types of Travel Fishing Rods
- Telescopic Fishing Rods: Telescopic fishing rods are a popular choice among motorhome and campervan enthusiasts due to their collapsible design, which allows for easy storage and transportation. These rods can be extended or retracted as needed, offering convenience without compromising on performance. They can sometimes suffer from fragility, which is why we developed our telescopic rods to have a removable end section resulting in significantly more durability and multifunctionality.
- Packable Fishing Rods: Packable fishing rods are designed to be disassembled into smaller pieces for compact storage. These rods often come with a carrying case or tube, making them ideal for travel. Despite their portable design, packable rods maintain the strength and sensitivity desired for a great day of fishing!
What makes a Travel Rod Perfect for Campervans?
- Compactness: Space is a premium in motorhomes and campervans, making compactness a crucial factor in choosing the right fishing rod. Traditional two-piece rods simply take up too much room and are too intrusive to be practical.
- Multi-functionality: Fishing rods that can be used for more than one purpose are highly preferred. It’s much easier to fit a 3-in-1 fishing rod in your motorhome than it is to fit three separate rods!
- Guaranteed: Since motorhome and campervan adventures often involve rough terrains and varying weather conditions, you’ll feel much more comfortable travelling with a rod you know is covered by a reputable warranty.
