L.L. Bean Travel Spin Rod, 4-pc.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Is this spinning rod easy to pack for travel?

  A: Yes, it is designed to break down into four pieces for easy packing. We include a nylon covered polypropylene tube with four compartments and nylon dividers to help protect each section in transit.

• Q: What does a fast-action travel rod feel like to fish?

  A: It has a fast action, so it feels quick and responsive. The high-modulus graphite blank is built to help you drive casts when conditions get windy.

• Q: Can I use braided line with this rod?

  A: Yes, you can. The durable chromed steel guide inserts are designed so they won't groove when using braided line.

• Q: How do I choose between the 7' and 7'6" versions?

  A: Choose based on the line rating and the species you fish most. The 7' rod (6-12 lb.) is a great pick for trout, salmon and bass, while the 7'6" rods step up for bass, stripers, salmon and pike (8-17 lb.) or heavier targets like stripers and even small tarpon (10-20 lb.).

• Q: What lure weights are recommended for each model?

  A: Lure weight ranges vary by model. The 7' 6-12 lb. rod is rated for 1/4 to 5/8 oz., the 7'6" 8-17 lb. rod is rated for 1/4 to 3/4 oz., and the 7'6" 10-20 lb. rod is rated for 1/2 to 1 1/2 oz.

• Q: How does the rod keep my reel and hook secure between casts?

  A: It has an up-locking reel seat with a locking ring to help keep the reel firmly in place. There's also a built-in hook keeper for securing your lure when you're moving spots.
