TRAVEL RODS FOR PAPUA NEW GUINEA BASS


Multi piece fishing rods, travel rods, are sometimes a necessity for International Fishing trips.  Often, airlines will charge a large sum to carry long, 1 piece rods.  In recent years quality travel rods have become available here in the USA and Internationally.  On my recent trip to West Papua I used the Daiwa Saltiga Travel Casting Rods. 

I used the SATRJ663MB, SATR743MB, and the SATR703MHFB models.  All three models handled the bass and barramundi without issue. 

The SATRJ663MB is a jigging casting rod.  The foregrip is very small so this was the least favorite of the 3.  All models are 3 piece, lightweight, and constructed of super strong nano carbon.  I highly recommend these rods for any jungle species.  BTW, my friend used very expensive 5 piece rods made in Japan and the PNG bass destroyed a few of them.
