The Surprising Truth About the Shimano Zodias 5-Piece Travel Rod

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Thanks for the after use review, jointed rod’s definitely have come a long way. Know I carry a spinning and casting version in my trunk!

[@Refaim.04]

I recommend the shimano scorpion travel rod brand. It is also a 5 piece rod as well. When it is connected, the power and action are the same as casting 1 piece.

Great video and great review. Definitly think Vanford/Zodias combo is the best bang for the buck if one can’t afford or doesn’t want to spend a fortune on the ”real” high end rods & reels. Keep em comming 👊

Thanks for watching!

Them rods are higher then the one piece plus in Shimano poison ultima rods $500-$700 I love having one of them rods

[@bhfishin]

Where do you buy the casting rod version

[@CAN43725]

How does this blank compare to NFC (Gary Loomis) travel rod blanks?

[@OnAnotherLine]

I can’t speak for that. I’ve never fished those NFC travel rods. I’m impressed with this one still. I have traveled all over the place with it. Great rod!

[@mastermouaable]

I’m thinking about getting the spinning Zodias travel rod myself. Unsure if I should get the
6’8” ML or Medium 7”. Is the rod true to its rod rating or it one power rate higher then to the specs?

[@OnAnotherLine]

The MH is pretty stiff. I’d imagine the 7’ Medium would be the perfect rod, though.

[@geekmeister3997]

You telling us that that 5 piece rod never came apart when casing?

[@OnAnotherLine]

Absolutely am. I’ve used it all summer and it’s never came apart once unless I’ve taken it apart.
