Tsunami Travel Kayak Inshore Rod

[MuskieBait]

Nope...still have to check it into luggage. No rods can be carry-on anymore with Air Canada or United Airlines. Fishing equipment is considered sporting equipment and all sporting equipment must be checked luggage.

I almost had my reels confiscated in Paris...line on the reel was a strangling hazard...luckily the security tested the 8lb mono and snapped it easy...if he had tested my 30lb braid, my reels would have been gone. Now I put all the reels into checked luggage as well.

It's not simple traveling and fishing anymore It used to be so great when you can just put a rod in a tube and carry-on...it's ancient history now

I came across these rods by accident. I wanted the heavier Kayak Boat Rod but it was out of stock...and lucky it was because the Boat Rod would be much too stiff and heavy for these smaller tarpon. It would be difficult to pitch live sardines with the Boat Rod. I've used a Tsunami Air Wave 9' for surf fishing striped bass before (a loaner rod from a friend). It was an awesome rod for the price...so I figure I give these rods a chance. Also read some decent reviews on these rods.

Love it so much I may get the casting model from this same series...and maybe get one of the Boat Rod later if Eli and I can make March happen.
