Saltwater Travel Rods

Built for the angler who never stops moving, the Daiwa Ardito TR 5-Piece Travel Surf Spinning Rod delivers full-size surf performance in a compact, packable design. Daiwa's proprietary X45 carbon fiber construction eliminates blank twist under load, giving you tighter loops, longer casts, and more precise presentations — even when you're fishing a beach you flew to get to.

Fitted with a Fuji® Aluminum Oxide 'Low Rider' guide train, the Ardito TR handles braid and mono with equal confidence. Whether you're chasing stripers on the East Coast, surfperch on the Pacific, or corvina in Baja, this rod packs down small and performs big.

Key Features

• X45 Technology — Daiwa's cross-bias carbon layering eliminates blank twist for improved casting accuracy and sensitivity
• 5-Piece Travel Design — Breaks down for easy transport in luggage, backpacks, or rod tubes
• Fuji® Aluminum Oxide 'Low Rider' Guides — Smooth, durable, and optimized for low-profile performance
• 11-Foot Length — Maximizes casting distance from the surf
• Available in Medium and Medium Heavy Fast Action — Versatile enough for a wide range of surf species and conditions

Specifications

The Daiwa Saltiga SW Travel Rods have a Slim Profile with a Strong Backbone for many hard-fighting tropical species. Multi-piece travel rods that can hang with better fish are rare. The innovative V-Joints connect the rod pieces with a flexing joint that avoids flat spots in the bend. This feature cannot be found in any other rods. With both Conventional and Spinning Models, there is a travel rod to suit your needs.

The blanks are finely wrapped with Fuji Tangle Free K Guides with tough, FazLite Rings, both components built for travel. A Compact Travel Case protects the rods from the bumps in the road. A Limited Lifetime Warranty stands behind the quality of materials and construction. If you are in the market for that rare travel rod that can take bigger salt water fish, look no further than the Daiwa Saltiga SW Travel Rods, quality in a case.
