penny wells on her tv program " top of downunder " had been using an ironman travel master multi-rod & reel ( see www.ironman4x4.com ) 
i bought mine from the ironman agent on bribie - its very compact - stows away easily - appears to be well made - ideal when we go away with the camper trailer
cheers

reel has spools of 6 lb , 12 lb and 25 lb - the colours match the 3 tip sections but i reckon with braid you could go higher

Interested to see what you think of it in use.
I saw ads for it when I was looking at travel gear and wondered how it would go.

Would the rod kit fit in a suitcase.

Appears it would be a handy salt water out fit.  I have more than enough reels, but the rod appears very interesting.

Looking forward to your assessment of the outfit under fishing conditions.

Regards John

the rod tube is 51 cms long x 9 cms dia. & weighs a shade over 1.9 kgs - so it is quite stowable
