Amazon.com Product Description
Whether you're traveling across the country for business or driving through the countryside to visit a family member, it's always nice to have a rod available for spur-of-the-moment fishing trips. The Travel Mate comes with a six-piece, 6-foot-6-inch medium-action rod. The rod cast just like one- and two-piece rods, but collapse into a 15-inch footprint for storage in the handy Travel Mate case. The case also includes six built-in, adjustable storage compartments for your tackle, so you don't need to bring along a separate tackle box. And it couldn't be easier to carry the Travel Mate thanks to the removable shoulder strap and fold-down handle. About Shakespeare Fishing Tackle
Founded in 1897 by William Shakespeare, Jr., an avid fisherman of 27 years, Shakespeare Fishing Tackle has been a revered name within the fishing business for more than a century. Shakespeare Fishing Tackle is headquartered in Columbia, South Carolina.

 Great Deal on a Great Rod August 28, 2008

I owned an older version of this rod for several years and had purchased a different make and model for my wife to backpacking. After two years of disappointment, I sought out the Shakespeare and to my delight it the same design as the one I have loved and fished with for serveral years. It has great action, easily assembled and for those who like to get away from the rest of the fishing public to find the good spots, this is a great rod to have along.

I have used this rod for many years. I pack it right in the bottom of my tackle box. So it's ready to go any where any time, long as it's Rocky Mountain beaver ponds fishing for brook and rainbow trout.
A common misconception about these rods, that I often hear from friends and family, is that these sectional rods often come apart when casting, well that has not been the case for me. I have never had a problem casting with this rod, or any other problems with it for that matter. But the part I love the most is being able to pack it down into my tackle box with very little effort.
Fantastic!!!!! February 14, 2010

Travel Mate Spinning Rod April 12, 2010

Shakespeare Medium Action Travel Mate Combo (6-Feet 6-Inch)
I used this rod on a recent trip to Belize where it was used to catch several species of fish. Used with 10# braided line it performed great. It casts light lures very well and has the sensitivity and 'backbone' to handle practically any reef fish.
The ability to pack it in a small travel bag and eliminate the need to worry about it as hand luggage makes it the ideal travel rod. A great buy for the price!
