Our free time has become more valuable than ever and destination resorts
are catering more and more to all segments of the fishing market.
Saltwater flats fishing is not just a fly fishing thing anymore and add
to the mix, destinations like Alaska, South America, Africa and
Australia and there is a very strong demand for good quality travel rods
in spin and cast. Traveling anglers require flexibility in their
equipment. Rods that will handle a broad range of fishing challenges
like ultra-lite trout and crappie action in freshwater to snook and
tarpon fishing on saltwater flats. As more exotic fishing destinations
are discovered, we find ourselves further and further afield. Most
anglers would rather lose their clothing than their equipment. You can
always fish in the pants and shirt you wore on the plane. If it’s too
hot, make yourself some cut-offs and you can get by just fine, but you
bought that high performance rod just for this trip, so having it arrive
two days late - or not at all - is NOT an option. The last thing you
want to lose on any fishing expedition is your rods and reels. Fly
anglers are taking spin or cast back-up rods for windy, tough casting
days and serious all tackle anglers are discovering the advantage of
"carrying on" pack rods. It’s systems management for the traveling
sport fisher and we provide the rods. Escape travel rods are all
three-piece. Each rod has very specific line and lure ratings which,
unique to the Escape Series include definitive descriptions of what type
of spin or cast rod each are as well as the optimum line recommended,
for example: the ETR75-3 ULS 4 is an Escape Travel Rod, 75" in length,
3-piece configuration, Ultra Light Spin with an optimal line rating of
4-pound test. Guides are Fuji “Alconite” and handles feature cork grips
with fixed reel seats. Each rod comes in a handsome, protective rod
sock and travel case.

As our free time becomes more valuable, quality time away from work and
in many cases "escaping" to warmer climates is the best medicine for our
souls. Saltwater flats fishing is not just a fly fishing thing anymore
and destinations like Alaska, South America, Africa and Australia have
created a strong demand for good quality travel rods. Since the
flyfishing world has all but transitioned their rods into 3- and 4-piece
models, it's high performance spinning and casting rods we've devoted a
lot of attention to lately. Anglers require a lot more flexibility in
their equipment these days. Rods that will handle a broad range of
fishing challenges. From ultra-lite trout and crappie applications for
freshwater to heavy-duty saltwater capable rods snook and tarpon fishing
on saltwater flats, it's all about getting your equipment there in good
shape. The best way to do that, as well as in sure they make it on
time, is to carry them with you. As more and more anglers discover
exotic fishing destinations, we find ourselves further and further
afield. Arriving without your rods and reels is NOT an option. Time is
too valuable, not to mention the expense. Most anglers would rather
lose their clothing than their equipment. The last thing you want to
lose on any fishing expedition is your gear. It’s systems management
for the traveling sport fisher and we provide the rods to match the
importance of the adventure. GLX Escape travel rods are three-piece,
high performance, technical fishing rods. Each rod has specific line and
lure ratings as well as the optimum line recommended, for example: the
ETR84-3 MLS 10 GLX is an Escape Travel Rod, 84" in length, 3-piece
configuration, Medium-Light Spin with an optimal line rating of 10-pound
test. The guides on our GLX models are Nickel-Titanium RECOIL, making
it virtually impossible to experience any issues with rings popping out
or frames fracturing. The handles feature cork grips with fixed reel
seats. Each rod comes in a handsome, protective rod sock and travel
case.
