X Ultimate User Guide

The X Ultimate Travel Fishing Rod by Rigged and Ready is the most versatile travel rod in the world. Designed and tested in the English Lake District for anglers who refuse to be limited by location or technique, this single combination rod delivers an incredible 43 different rod lengths and fishing styles from one compact system. Whether you’re hiking remote rivers, travelling light, or heading off-grid, this is the ultimate solution to Go Anywhere and Fish Everywhere.


 What Makes It Ultimate

The X Ultimate is a modular, multi-section rod system engineered to adapt instantly to your fishing needs. By adding or removing sections, changing tip configurations, and switching reel setups, the rod can be tuned for spin fishing, fly fishing, baitcasting, float fishing, and feeder fishing—all from the same core platform.


 Setting Up the Rod

  1. Select Your Technique
    Decide on your fishing style and target species. Shorter configurations suit lure, baitcasting, and confined spaces, while longer setups are ideal for float, feeder, or fly fishing.
  2. Assemble the Sections
    Connect the required rod sections securely, ensuring each joint is firmly seated but not overtightened. The modular design allows precise length control to match conditions.
  3. Choose Your Reel
    Attach the appropriate reel—spinning, baitcasting, or fly—using the multi-position reel fittings. Adjust placement for balance and comfort.
  4. Fit the Tip
    Select the correct tip for your method, from sensitive feeder tips to responsive fly or spinning tips.
