Those of you who like me travel to far off places for your fishing Like me find it harder and harder to take your rods with you due to travel restrictions by the airlines for example BA max length 75"
Most popping or jigging rod are 2 piece with a short butt section and a long front section .
By the time you put into a rod tube it is well over the max length BA will allow for sporting goods in the hold.
I searched for a long time to find a four piece popping or jigging rod.
I came across a company called Hearty Rise rods made in Japan .
Now don't write HR off because you have never heard of them nor had I but 40 years ago who had heard of shimano.
I went ahead and bought their 4 piece Monster Game rod 100-200 gm it has a shut down length of 71 cm so fits nicely into my rolling duffel along with my 4 piece fly rods I was surprise at how far it would throw a 120gm popper. What does it fish like I don't know as it hasn't seen any action yet hopefully it will in September.
HR have now bought out a new 4 piece rod popping rod called Skywalker along with their jigging rods. to see their jigging rods in action they produced some videos.
I have nothing to do with HR just found a series of rods that I can now carry without the airline saying it's to long you will have to send it Cargo so I thought I would bring it your attention.
