CharkBait Travel Rods
 We're very excited about this little
project. It's taken us close to a year's time to bring these
products to market. It's something we've felt that was needed for
quite some time. Working closely with an overseas builder we have
produced a travel rod like no other, something folks will certainly
find useful and will broaden fishing opportunities for a lot of
folks. We have produced a higher line test capable travel rod! Given the
airlines making life a bit more difficult for travelers to take
their gear with them to distant lands. And, given the usual lack of
good gear once you arrive at distant shores, our search for
something better suited to what we like to do was inevitable. We
searched for a quality travel rod that was more than a repackaged
freshwater bass rod made for fishing 12-20#'s. Well, we found such a
rod with Okuma's Nomad series of travel rods. Dandy pieces for
fishing up 20-50# lines, and a nice travel bag, too.
 That product
gave us hope that we could produce such a piece for our clients.
Well, we have, and I think the time has paid off. We have been doing
some importing of our own over the past couple years. We're large
enough to do so now, and that was something I used to do in a
previous career, too. So we had some experience to work with.
There
are three rods in this
series, a 20-40# seven foot casting rod and light duty trolling rod, and two
more dedicated trolling/stand-up
rods, all featuring Pac Bay "uni-butt" style all aluminum aft
sections.
(The 20-40# rod just came into inventory, it's been a long wait!)
Specifically, this is a Pac Bay Channel Lock Aluminum
Butt. All rods utilize this butt section, but the 20-40# model has
an EVA foam ring grip on the aft and fore grip since it's intended
to spend more time in a fisherman's hands rather than having primary
rod holder duty. The last two rods mentioned were our first on the
market, since this was where there were no competing products
available, a real gap in the market in our estimation. The
trolling/stand-up rods are four piece, both 6 1/2 feet in length.
One is perfect for fishing 30-40# line, the other for 50-80#
application. With the Pac Bay butts, they're great for trolling
duty.
You
can drag lures, feathers, lipped divers effortlessly. All feature
EVA ringed fore grips for added security and comfort. The guides are
rated for Spectra, and the rod’s unique gimbaled screw together
construction is extremely solid. Unlike other "ferrule" rods, these
screw together within a ferrule, so they twice reinforce their
strength and proper alignment of
 these
strong and forgiving fiberglass blanks. This unique connection
feature also makes it easier to take the rods apart after a long
day’s fishing. If you liked Okuma's bag, you'll be thrilled with
ours too! It's a dandy, and also features a zippered internal
opening to conveniently hold some accessories, too!
CharkBait’s new four piece travel rods are
sure to be welcomed by the serious angler looking for
travel-friendly fishing rods capable of landing larger fish.
Fishing from a panga or sportfisher? These rods are perfect
for your needs. Finally there’s a serious saltwater
travel rod that can
stand on its own merits as a functional alternative to one-piece
designs.
 Since we have eliminated the "middle-man"
and have these rods produced ourselves, we can offer an excellent
savings to our clients. Compare the components being used, and
you'll get the picture. These rods are a value, and there's nothing
like them on the market in terms of dealing with larger fish and
functional troll duty. Let me restate this, since I've done some
homework for you. You can find some heavy tackle offshore custom
travel rods, at prices of over $1000. The one's I've seen do not
compare favorably to what we are offering with our own Saltwater
Travel Rods, which are designed for boat use. If you travel to your fishing destinations or
just like being prepared for opportunities to hop on other folks
boats, our new saltwater travel rods will be favored companions on
any trip offshore. Order yours now!

poorly made video showing off the CharBait

And, a few words from
one of the lucky folks that purchased one of
these innovative rods:

Hello Mark,
I'd like to start by thanking you for such a fine
product. I recently bought your two tip casting travel
rod. My son (13yrs old) and I just got back from
Islamorada. I've have been fishing there with Capt Mike
Basset of Born and Raised charters for many years. A
fourth generation keys guide he has seen it all. We
decided to do a little shark fishing and put the new
equipment to the test. I used your 20-30lb tip and
matched the rod up with a Shimano Trinidad 30DC. Spooled
up with 30lb Andes mono and number10 wire leader. From
the get go the rod impressed us. It casted our live Jack
on a 40 inch wire leader with distance and accuracy. The
largest shark we boated was a 200lb plus Bull. The rod
did not perform like a quality multi piece travel rod. It
performed as good as or even better than a high end one
piece!!!! I have traveled extensively and have used all
the best tackle I could afford. Your product is by far the
best travel rod I've ever used and completely blew away
Capt basset.

Okuma Nomad
Travel Rods
We've been getting
requests from folks looking for good offshore
rods, that can travel easily - for
years. Unfortunately,
there really haven't been any produced that
were up to snuff (with the exception of Penn's
discontinued light line Travel Rods). There
has never been an offshore capable travel rods
made to fish the heavier line tests we're most
apt to need, you know, the basic stuff like 20-50# class
casting rods. They were not made. Well, Okuma created a series of travel
 rods
that will make breezing through high security
airports tolerable, cut "oversize" charges
from the bill, and provide you with some
quality gear that can deal with larger version
saltwater fish. Remember all those times you
went fishing at a distant shore, only to find
the equipment deficient? Well, now you can
come prepared! These are effective fishing
rods for typical offshore fishing.
There are several unique
features these rods incorporate for your
advantage. The first thing I noticed is that
these three piece rods come with an extra tip
section!
 With the added tip, you can now fish
two different line tests from the same rod.
Or, you can change up your action to match
your particular style for the day's fishing.
Nice thought guys! Unlike many multi piece
rods which simply won't stand up to the
pressure a saltwater fish can provide, these
rods use a European Spigot Ferrule connection
between sections of the rod. This is stronger,
and provides a one-piece feel when fishing.
It's a bit harder to put the pieces together,
but it's the right design for what we're doing
here. You also get an ALPS aluminum reel seat.
This is an expensive piece of rod building componetry, and is testament to the rods
overall quality and sense of purpose. .
No
more relying on whatever gear is at hand
when you go on exotic fishing trips.
With the Nomad Travel Rod series by
Okuma, now you can pack your own rods
with ease as you head out on ANY fishing
adventure.
Essentially two rods in one, each Nomad
Travel Rod comes with two seperate tip
sections that provide distinctly
different actions, but through the use
of the European Spigot Ferrule
connection points, the rods have an
accurate and true "One-Piece" feel and
action.

poorly made video showing off the Nomad travel rods -

KingFisher
 KingFisher's
Expedition Rods have gained a strong following overseas, and are just
now available in America. Unique to our offerings, KingFisher's main
claim to fame has been their Fly Rods, with three weights to choose
from. But, they also manufacture one conventional rod worthy of
consideration. Notable features: all of their rods come with an extra
tip section for no additional cost allowing a wide range of use as
well as insurance against breakage and down-time on your next
expedition. The fly rods are all 4 piece, the conventional rod 3
piece, plus extra tips. Each rod comes in a transport friendly tube,
with liner wrap to protect the rods. The fly rods all use light weight
high quality cork for comfort and long life, the conventional rod uses
hypolon. The rods are of composite construction, use a spigot ferrule
system and good componentry. The fly rods are available in three
weight classes, 4 & 6, 8 & 10 and 12 wt. The conventional rod is
designed for 20-30# and 30-40# (with the heavier tip section
terminating in a roller). KingFisher rods have had some excellent
success for many species of fish, but certainly tops have been
sailfish.
 "These
days there is a huge range of mid level fly rods on the market and
some fine rods among them. I'm pleased to say that these KingFisher
Expedition series rods really stand out from the crowd and offer
exceptional power, performance and value for the money. The spare tip
is a good addition as well - ten out of ten for a great new product."
Nat Bromhead, Saltater Flyfishing guide, Queensland, Australia.
"The rod is a seriously good casting rod for
th emoney and I don't think you could get a better value saltwater fly
rod anywhere. It has a very fast recovery and it will handle 11 to 13
very well."
 Gordon
Dunlop, Fly fisherman, Sydney Aus, Expedition 12 wt. rod.
The fly rods are made from pure high modulus
graphite for light weight, fast action and quick recovery. They
feature ALPS guides, the heavy fly rod features an oversize cork
handle section - with the intent of larger fish on the other end.
Model EXZ663M/MH conventional rid us if graphite/glass construction, 3
piece, one roller tip section for trolling duty and one with ceramic
guides for jigging and bait fishing. The rod is made for fishing
20-30# lines.
