30 lb Trolling travel rod

Dear friends,

Although I've been busy these last weeks, I've build a couple of rods. I'll post pics in the photo section tomorrow.

On of these was a 5'6" 30lb trolling rod, built from a Seeker 655 blank. I used Afto lightweight rollers and the result was not bad.

One of my friends liked it and he asked me to buitd a couple of rods like this one, but in 3 pieces. I haven't found such a blank in the catalogs I have. Can any one advice me about this?. If not possible, I'd propose a 2 pieces rod.

I've seen some Shimano travel rod in 3 pieces, with graphite ferrules. The idea is building something similar. Any idea will be welcomed.


Regards,


Daniel

Dont know if they make multi piece trolling rods but what I have mad is 5'6" stand up rod with aftco or pacbay unibutts. This wasy you can break the rod down a little bit.
