What is the collapsed size of the 10.8ft rod? I'm looking for a surf caster that's easy to travel with.

About 15 inches. It also comes with a cloth drawstring bag and a guard to protect the rod.

this is a great rod for lure fishing or light to medium fishing, 1-3 kilo or upto 7 pounds are normal. heavier fish may require an amount of skill with this rod. This rod will not cast over surf or from a beach. but for a little tackle rod thats very small approx 18inches or 46cm i would recommend it. This rod has caught some decent little fighters on the Mediterranean for me so i like it.

The wheels are about 10 inches. Great device and very easy to manage. I would add one extra bungee cord to make sure the SUP stays tight to the carrier if you are hitting ruts and bumps. I love it and easy to navigate my 11' board from house to beach.

I don't know what's up with all of the varying answers, but I actually took the time to look it up on the manufacturer's website to get the true specifications. "Cjd" appears to be the only person that is correct with a measurement of 8'10.75", as the specs say it is approx. 9' in length fully collapsed/retracted. The other answers stating 10-12 feet are significantly off and appear to be uneducated guesses.

This is definitely one of the lightest bait casters you'll find. Not to mention one of the smoothest reels I've used and is great for salt water or even the largest bass such as caught on Toledo Bend or Lake Fork in Texas. In the 10 to 13 pound range.

Thanks much for your detailed response was very helpful, I have found some very small ultra low profiles casters-I think- biggest concern is the structure/frame material...my understanding is the sides are made of wood and not MDF as MDF would cause serious concerns due to its lack of lateral strength compared to wood. Thanks again

i believe its 8ft. (its set up in the attic for the winter lol) I use 15 lb braid on one of mine. It works well but make sure you spool your rod tight or it binds up like crazy

Merri - I answered your question incorrectly and have since deleted my comment. I purchased this ramp and returned it for another and thought this question was for the ramp I ultimately used. I apologize for any confusion. This ramp would have been too long to fit where I keep the one I do use. The one I purchased is ~10' long and folded fits fine. Thanks and again, I apologize for any confusion!

Roughly 16" long by 8" tall and 4" deep. On a side note, however, I would look at a different setup. I tried learning on this rod and it was incredibly difficult to cast. Go to Orvis and look at their Encounter setup. Only $150 and an exponentially better introductory setup.

The rollers are a decent size, but unfortunately they are at my other house. I can measure them when I go back in about 9 days and tell you then. I do prefer the larger ones and wish they were all that size. They are great curlers, and I wanted them for travel and they work very well on my long hair. I would recommend them.

I just measured my "Okuma's Nomad Inshore Saltwater Multi Action Travel Rods-NTi-S-703ML-M (Blue/Black, 7-Feet)" 3 of the sections are 29 1/2 inches and the base were the reel attaches is 30 inches... Hope that helps.. Daryl

Yea I don't see why you wouldn't be able to use a low profile baitcaster on it or for saltwater, if anything I would use it in the bays going for spotted bay bass or calicos, I wouldn't bring it on a half day boat tho. t's on the heavy side of medium compared to other medium power rods I have and had in the past. fast action to extra fast I would say. I hope this helps

There are many rod of this length. Both fresh and saltwater. My serf rods of choice are between 9 and 11 ft.I love Ugly sticks because you can use light to heavy test line and the fight is the same. If you go tall thenget something as light as you can.

Very small. It curls up to a circle that measures approximately 7 /8 inches across. It is quite small when retracted and I believe I have the 75 foot one. Hope this helps. I love it.
