The Smuggler 7 Travel Fishing Rod: One Rod for Any Fishing Adventure

Why Travel Fishing Rods Matter More Than Ever

If you have traveled with a conventional fishing rod before, you know it's no fun. They are way too long, quite inconvenient to carry around and don't always fit into today's way of fishing. They become limiting in quite a few scenarios, whether flying restrictions, or  limited SUV truck space. 

Modern anglers not only want options, they require adaptive fishing rods capable of holding up through any condition. Whether it is a road trip, a weekend trip, or slipping one out into the water unexpectedly, you are truly enjoying the real adventure.

However, at this moment, Rigged&Ready is offering you the answer with its Smuggler 7 (from Smuggler Series™)—the performance-based compact and extra-portable fishing rod.

The Smuggler 7: A True All-Round Travel Fishing Rod

The Smuggler 7 is intended to be versatile by taking on a broad range of fishing styles without making one buy different rods.

• Spinning and lure fishing

• Float fishing

• Feeder fishing

• Both freshwater and saltwater fishing

Your fishing rod for everything, from bass on the lakes, trout in rivers, coastal saltwater action. The rod is designed to attack up to 20lb fish (9 kg).

The Smuggler 7 must be the right choice for any angler on the search for a traveling rod while seeking something with flexibility, which can be used during various fishing occasions.

One Rod, Multiple Fishing Setups

The unique selling point of this rod is its inherent versatility.

With two carefully matched tips, you can alternate between the following two setups:

• First (at 8’6”/260 cm) for long casts and extended reach

• Second (at 7’8”/235 cm) for tight spots and better control

20 g and 40 g are the casting weights that you can choose from, depending on what you would prefer.

In practical terms, this means fewer rods to be lugged around and more possibilities on the water. Instead of getting multiple rods ready “just in case,” you may just carry one that can be used for everything.

Designed for Travel – Truly Compact

Despite their claims to be travel-friendly, many rods turn out to be heavy and cumbersome.

In contrast, the Smuggler 7 is made especially for fishermen who are constantly on the go.

It break down into:

• Rod parts measuring 16" (40.5 cm)

• Compact travel case, 17" (42 cm)

That is sufficiently compact to fit in:

• Carry-on baggage for airlines

• Duffel bags and backpacks

• Bike panniers or truck storage

• Car trunks, RVs, and boats

This system makes fishing portable, whether you're travelling across the nation by air or carrying a rod in your car. 

Built for Strength, Sensitivity, and Reliability

Without performance, portability is meaningless, and this is where the Smuggler 7 excels.

It combines SRF rod blank technology with:

• Carbon

This results in a rod that is durable enough for frequent usage yet also feels robust, responsive, and well-balanced.

Additionally, you receive:

• Guides lined with stainless steel for seamless casting

• EVA handle for ease of cleaning and comfort

• Graphite reel seat providing a feeling of security and equilibrium
