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 Wizard stick stands 10" tall, is that size going to work for the little tug boat? It weighs practically nothing.You could wrap a rubber band around the trigger so that it stays compressed, and it would work until the fluid ran out.

I would take off one of the casters and take it to a place that sells them. It should be a standard size.

I purchased the 15 foot model and it proved to be too heavy for anything other than surf casting and then mounting it in a rod holder. I brought several rods on my week long oceanside camping trip and the two large Okunas were the least used towards the end of the trip.

It collapses well. I'd measure it for you, but mine's packed up now. I imagine you'd be able to pack it in a larger square type bag, rather than the standard rectangular roller bag.

I think there won't be any issues. The case can extend out to over 8feet (I've stored an 8'6" rod in it) so your 6' rods won't be an issue. Not sure about the guides though. I believe the diameter of this is 6" - as long as the width of your rod (with the largest guides) doesn't exceed that, you should be fine. I've packed probably around 8 rods into mine (although they were all casting rods, not spinning, so shorter/lower profile guides all the way through).

You could get more distance if it did not have the level wind components (I use a similar setup for surfcasting), but these reels cast about as well as possible for a level-wind reel. The very lightweight spool and decent bearings work well for casting, especially at this price.

each "leg" is probably about 2 feet long. How far apart you space them is up to you. If you only use 12' surf rods, you can space them 10' apart. If you use short rods, space them closer together.

Pole is 4 feet long when collapsed and can telescope to 8 feet. I didnt purchase mine for painting though. I screwed a wash brush on mine and carry it in the motorhome to use when washing windshield. It is as stated a light duty unit. If you need the full 8 foot and will be applying a great deal of pressure, get something longer or stronger.

The packaging does not indicate the width of the rod itself. I judge it to be about an inch and a little more, It is very hard to measure unless you take the end parts off, and I did not want to do that.

I have not used this rod very much since I bought it - it's been winter down here in New Zealand. However, I use it in combination with an Abu Garcia Revo Toro NaCl overhead reel, with braid, and am casting lures like the Shimano Waxwing 7/8 oz good distances. I haven't tried anything much heavier at this point.

This case just barely fits my two-piece 10' rod. Have you looked at G.Loomis? They make some BIG rods, but the cases are definitely pricey.

Collapsed length is about 6" and diameter is a little over an inch. Was bought for a four year old child and she has no problem with it.

Mine seems pretty light actually. I caught a 10lb redfish with a 3 oz pyramid on and it was about folded in half with little muscle put into pulling it in. I didn't want to put much more into it because it felt like the rod was going to snap.My Penn 8 footer which is med/heavy is much more rigid than this, which I like, because there's nothing worse than losing a fish in the surf because the poles not stiff enough to pull them in out of the backwash.

Leaving the casters off would not make it 10 inches shorter! The casters are probably 2 or 2.5inches in diameter so that is all you would loose in height.

I live in Knoxville Tn and go to Ga, Fl, NC and SC to surf fish. I easily fit my 2 piece 10 and 12 ft rods in this. Hope this helps
