Okuma Nomad Travel Rod
The Okuma Nomad Travel Rod is the ultimate rod to pack as you head off on that exotic fishing trip. The rod comes with two different action tips, allowing you the versatility to fish different scenarios depending on what fish are biting and the condition you are faced with. The innovative and extremely durable Europeon Spigot ferrule design has been tested, giving you all the feel and power of a one-piece rod that comes in three sections for easy transportation. Nomad saltwater rods use top quality components such as ALPS 316 stainless steel guide frames with Zirconium inserts and two tone anodized aluminum ALPS reel seats. All Nomad rods come with a waterproof carrying case that will hold your rods securely and will easily fit above your seat on the plane.

This rod is massive and has plenty of backbone. It can be a downrigger rod as well as a cast and retrieve. The rod looks attractive with the blue anodized seat and butt. The $180 price your paying for is the quality of strength while being able to break apart into 3 sections and carry on vacation trips. At the end, I decided not to keep it because don't fish from boats too often and the price is too high for using it only once a year.
