How long is the Fladen Trigger rod?

It is 75cm and one piece, making it one of the more compact fishing rods available. That short length is what makes it practical for kayak and travel fishing.

Is it a real fishing rod or a toy?

It is a serious, usable fishing rod, just compact. It is built for genuine use by kayakers, canoeists, yachtsmen and holiday anglers, not as a novelty.

What is it best used for?

Kayak fishing above all, plus canoe, small-boat and travel fishing where a full-length rod is awkward. It also suits tight spots like a busy harbour wall.

Does it come with a reel?

No. The rod is sold on its own, so you can pair it with a compact reel of your choice. Browse our reels for a suitable match.

It weighs around 125g, so it is very light to carry and handle, which adds to its appeal for backpackers and travelling anglers.

Can I use it from the shore?

Yes. While it is designed for kayaks, it works from the shore or a harbour wall for close-range fishing, though a longer rod casts further from a beach.

What should I pair it with?

A small fixed-spool reel and line suited to your target fish. Add terminal tackle or lures, and you have a tidy, portable setup.

How do I look after it?

Rinse it in fresh water after sea fishing and dry it before storage. Store it somewhere it will not be stood on, as with any rod.
