I have built and cast the Cabelas Stowaway rods in several line wt's and I really like them. I origonally bought the first rod as an inexpensive back up for the boat, but now I find it's my favorite rod. The 3wt and 5wt cast exceptionaly well. These are 5 piece travel rods (very easy to store) and start at under $100.00. If your a rod builder look into the blanks, only $30.00!

The rod hardware is not as fancy as my Winstons, but the action is fantastic.
