Quick take
A 5'6" light power 5-piece pack rod in 95% carbon and 5% fiberglass, designed for portability and travel.
This 5'6" light-power baitcasting rod breaks down into five pieces and stows at about 15.4 inches, so it rides easily in a pack or carry-on. It handles lures from 0.07 to 0.4 oz and 4 to 12 lb line, which suits small crankbaits and finesse baits for bass and trout. A fast action, cork handle and included rod bag round out a light, travel-ready setup.
