The Surprising Truth About the Shimano Zodias 5-Piece Travel Rod

If you are looking for a rod that you can put under a truck seat, put in a backpack, or just all around travel with, look no further than the Zodias Travel Rod! I'll own the spinning rod for sure!

Thanks for the after use review, jointed rod’s definitely have come a long way. Know I carry a spinning and casting version in my trunk!

I recommend the shimano scorpion travel rod brand. It is also a 5 piece rod as well. When it is connected, the power and action are the same as casting 1 piece.

Great video and great review. Definitly think Vanford/Zodias combo is the best bang for the buck if one can’t afford or doesn’t want to spend a fortune on the ”real” high end rods & reels. Keep em comming 👊

Where do you buy the casting rod version

[@mastermouaable]

I’m thinking about getting the spinning Zodias travel rod myself. Unsure if I should get the 6’8” ML or Medium 7”. Is the rod true to its rod rating or it one power rate higher then to the specs?

[@OnAnotherLine]

The MH is pretty stiff. I’d imagine the 7’ Medium would be the perfect rod, though.

You telling us that that 5 piece rod never came apart when casing?

[@OnAnotherLine]

Absolutely am. I’ve used it all summer and it’s never came apart once unless I’ve taken it apart.
