The Travel Rod That Feels Like a One-Piece (On-The-Water)
- By: Pat Ogletree

If you love to fish, a travel rod isn’t just a convenience — it’s a game-changer. It’s not just about packing light… it’s about being ready to fish anywhere, anytime. The new Slam Stick Traveler takes that to the next level with a modular design that lets you swap out pieces to match different power ratings and rod actions — all in one setup. That means fewer rods to carry and more opportunities to catch fish.
In this video, I’m breaking down why every angler should own a travel rod and showing off the features of the new Traveler that make it a must-have for inshore fishing.
Do you own a travel rod? If not, why?

Hey Pat. Just got mine for Father’s Day. Should I remove the clear plastic from the cork handle?
Yes, you should. If you want the cork to last longer you can get some cork sealer. I haven’t done it personally but you can find out how in a quick Google search.
excellent option
I like mine a lot, it’s a great rod.
Just purchased some fishing lures and weighted hooks.
Let us know how you like them!
Nice work on the beach snook Pat!
Thanks Luke!
Interesting concept.
It’s a great rod, I’ve been using mine daily now.
