The New Rucksack Spin & Baitcast Rod Has Arrived
Meet the New Rucksack Spin & Baitcast Rod
We’re excited to introduce the new Rigged & Ready Rucksack Spin & Baitcast Rod — a truly versatile travel rod designed for anglers who want maximum performance in a super-compact, adventure-ready design.
At Rigged & Ready, we’re proud to see anglers choosing to fish differently. An increasing number of fishermen are opting for multipurpose, ultra-compact, portable tackle rather than carrying numerous rods. That’s exactly what inspired the development of this new rod.
As a family company, we design gear we use ourselves. Our goal has always been simple — build practical, innovative equipment backed by the best guarantee and customer service we can offer. The new Rucksack Spin & Baitcast Rod is another step forward in that mission.
One Rod. Two Techniques. Total Versatility.
The Flip Micro-Trigger is the new rod's most significant innovation.
The rod may be used for both spinning and baitcasting thanks to its ingenious design. In just a few seconds, swap strategies by simply flipping the micro-trigger.
This means:
- One rod replaces two traditional rods
- Less gear to carry
- More flexibility when fishing
The Rucksack rod lets you quickly adjust to the conditions and the type of fishing you wish to do, whether you favour spinning rigs or baitcasting reels.
The rod works well with both types of reels when it is paired with appropriately positioned, hybrid-sized guides.
Built for Strength, Sensitivity & Compact Travel
The rod is built on a strong yet lightweight hi-glass blank with hand-finished parabolic joints. This design gives anglers the ideal balance of:
- Strength
- Sensitivity
- Durability
The parabolic joint system also enables the rod to be packed down to an incredibly small size without any loss of performance.
Specifications of the Rod
- The length of the rod: 5'7" (170 cm)
- The number of sections: 5 pieces
- The packed size: 15½" (39 cm)
- The weight of the rod: 4.4 oz (125 g)
The extremely small size of the rod makes it suitable for:
- Rucksack fishing
- Travel and holidays
- Hiking or bike fishing
- Having the rod in your car
Space in rucksacks, bikes, motorcycles, boats, caravans, motorhomes, and airplane cabins is ample to carry the rod.
Perfect Balance for Spin or Baitcasting
The rod balances beautifully with:
- A 3000 size spinning reel, or
- A 7.1:1 baitcasting reel
With a maximum cast weight of 20g (¾oz), the medium action blank is ideal for lure fishing a variety of species.
High-performance casting is made possible through the use of high-quality ceramic-lined hybrid guides, and the rod is comfortable and long-lasting in all fishing conditions thanks to the graphite reel seat and easy-to-clean EVA grip.
Designed for Adventure Fishing
To make travelling even easier, the rod comes with:
- A lightweight neoprene carry case
- A soft protective rod bag
This keeps the rod safe while maintaining an incredibly light total weight.
- Rod weight: 125g (4.4oz)
- With neoprene case: 196g (7oz)
The neoprene rod carrier is also useful for protecting other compact rods, making it a handy addition to any angler’s kit.
Freshwater & Saltwater Ready
The Rucksack Spin & Baitcast Rod is suitable for fishing in both fresh and saltwater environments.
It is also capable of handling fish that are 4.5 kg or 10 lbs in weight, such as:
- Bass
- Trout
- Carp
- Salmon
- Pike
- Perch
Regardless of where you decide to go fishing, this fishing rod is designed to give you a compact fishing experience.
Go Anywhere & Fish Everywhere
This rod is made for anglers who want freedom — the ability to fish wherever the opportunity appears.
Whether you're exploring a remote river, travelling abroad, or simply keeping a rod ready in your vehicle, the Rucksack Spin & Baitcast Rod is designed to go with you.
And like all Rigged & Ready rods, it’s backed by:
- A 2-year rod warranty
- Fast, no-nonsense customer support
Because as a family business, we believe looking after our customers is just as important as building great fishing gear.
