Whether you’re hopping a flight to Baja, chasing trout in a hidden alpine stream, or casting swimbaits across a distant lake, having the right travel-ready fishing setup makes all the difference. Okuma has designed a full range of portable, high-performance travel rods and reels to keep you prepared no matter where your fishing adventures take you.

Let’s break down how to build your perfect Okuma Travel Kit, from freshwater finesse to saltwater surf.

1. Voyager Signature and SST Freshwater Travel Rods + Hakai & Saphyre Reels

For anglers looking for a compact, go-anywhere setup, the Okuma Voyager Signature Freshwater Travel Rods and SST Freshwater Travel Rods are the perfect place to start. These multi-piece rods pack small but fish big, offering smooth performance and precision whether you’re on a lake, river, or traveling abroad.  The Voyager Travel Rods come standard with a zippered soft travel bag while the SST come with a rigid PVC travel tube. 

• Casting Setup: Pair the Voyager casting rod with the Okuma Hakai Low Profile Baitcast Reel. The Hakai’s featherlight design and buttery-smooth drag make it ideal for accurate casting and all-day comfort.

• Spinning Setup: For the spinning versions, the Saphyre Spinning Reel delivers the perfect balance of strength and smoothness. Its lightweight construction and high-end performance make it a traveler’s favorite for everything from bass to trout.

These combinations give you versatility and reliability all while fitting neatly into your luggage or carry-on.

2. Guide Select Swimbait Travel Rods + Komodo SS Reels

When you’re targeting big fish in new waters, the Guide Select Swimbait Travel Rods are your ultimate heavy-duty travel companions. Built with the power and precision of the full-size Guide Select line, these rods break down for easy transport without sacrificing backbone.  The Guide Select Swimbait Travel Rods come standard with a hard PVC, zipper top travel tube for easy transport.

• Pair them with the Komodo SS Baitcast Reel.   The 350 size is perfect for launching large swimbaits or working heavier lures in saltwater.

• For inshore or trophy freshwater applications, this combo brings unmatched drag power and casting control, giving you the confidence to take on big predators anywhere in the world.

This setup is built for anglers who want to travel light but fish hard.
