1. COMPACT ROD OPTIONS
a) COMPACT ROD & WANT TO SPIN, BAIT, BAIT-CAST OR FLY FISH?.
The X5 rods have a reversible handle, and hybrid rod eyes, to allow all these fishing styles. They are multi-purpose, with 4 fishing tips. The X5 Max, has a little more power and the X5 Adventure more finesse. Yes all those tips and extra handle parts add complication and a little weight to the rod package in its tube.

Then it's the Smuggler 7, 6 or 5. The 7 being the stronger rod and the 5 the super light, but powerful, sneaky rod. They all have 2 tips and single butt, so less parts. It's up to you what you prefer.

a) PORTABLE ROD & WANT TO CATCH BIG FISH?

b) PORTABLE ROD TO SPIN OR BAIT-CAST FISHING?
It is the Predator or Fish Rig Max, which are the only rods to have a micro-trigger handle to work perfectly for Spin and Bait-Cast Fishing. They have different tip options for different casting weights. If you prefer or don't prefer telescopic rods, then thats your decision to make.
c) PORTABLE ROD FOR ALL-ROUND SPIN & BAIT LIGHT FISHING?
The Fish Rig 180 that does the job. With 2 tip options you are covered for all light fishing.
