Packlight Trout Outfit - 3wt Compact Travel Combo

$349.99 $369.99

The rod you reach for when you're miles from the truck.

Most travel rods are either bulky 4-piece sticks that still need a tube, or telescopic toys that wobble and kill accuracy. This is neither. It's a compact backcountry outfit that packs down to backpack size and fishes like a full-size trout tool.

Built around the light-and-fast ethos that won Skwala best boots this year — maximum mobility, speed, and comfort. Telescopic graphite composite blank that collapses small for glovebox, kayak hatch, or alpine pack, but loads deep with feedback, not wobble. Sensitive enough to detect subtle takes on a #16 dry, with enough backbone for panfish and small bass in tight water.

Matched large-arbor mini reel — fully machined aluminum frame, ported to cut weight, with a smooth carbon drag that protects light tippets. Fast line pickup when a brookie runs at you in a small creek. Pre-spooled with WF floating line so you rig in minutes, not at the trailhead.

This is your small water specialist. Think alpine lakes, blue lines, backcountry beaver ponds, and kayak missions where space matters more than distance.

- Compact Packlight Design: Telescopic collapsible to backpack size, no tube needed, lives in your pack or truck
- 3WT Small Water Action: Deep-loading, sensitive tip for delicate presentations on creeks and alpine lakes
- Light-and-Fast Build: Graphite composite blank, lightweight yet durable for backpacking and travel
- Matched Mini Reel: Large-arbor, machined aluminum, smooth carbon drag, pre-spooled WF floating line
- Backcountry Ready: Perfect for hiking, kayak fishing, and quick casts on small water

If your favorite fishing is backcountry fishing for wild native brook trout, this is your kit. Not a backup. The first one you grab.

From Clear Water Trading Co. — Built for the wild.
