What sort of travel rod are you after Meo - Beach, carp, spinning? or what sort of fishing do you want it for?

I have seen two which might fit the bill but not actually used them: Tackle Bargains do the "Maximus" in 6 pieces which goes to 12' 6" is all carbon and looks well made for £90. Shakespeare do a travel rod in their salt range, also six pieces 11' 6" and full carbon for around £70, if the latter is anything like my Salt Beach, you won't be disappointed.

I've been using the daiwa wilderness travel for the last year and I've been very happy with it. The only problem I've had was the rod getting blown of the tripod and knocking an eye out of its ring.
It has been used in the Bristol channel and coped with that ok. I've used it with 6oz leads and BIG baits for conger and it's been fine.
I used it for getting some macky for the freezer with feathers and a four oz lead and it really pinged them out a long long way.
Nice rods for the money.
The salt one would be worth a look as well.
