My bro travels a lot and planes prevent him from bringing some of his fav tackle without him paying extra fees. Who likes to do that? He visits our fam in Fla and while he down there he like to fish. He wants to bring his tackle and airlines like to charge $$. He watched youtube and found travel rods and took a chance. Now, he takes this rod everywhere. He raves about it. So I bought one. I was not disappointed. It may be 3 pieces, but is solid as a one piece rod. Get it if you need an efficient, strong, compact rod that can stowed away. It's a 7 foot rod that breaks down to 3 seperate 2.33 feet pieces.

It’s a fantastic rod for travel or normal use. I took it on every trip I went on and also use it just about every time I head out on the pier or kayak. It’s sensitive and handles fish very well. I love it!

The quality and finish are great. The overall design for The Nomad Xpresscould could use some major improvements. The rod is very stiff and brittle, and as a result all the load is contrasted within the tip section of the rod. These rods will work fine for small fish but if you need more than 10 pounds for drag, or force, will probably break the tip ferrule or tip, as has been my repeated experience. The model I've been using was Ntxi-S-703MH Nomad Xpress. My advice to Okuma would be to incorporate some fiber glass and work on better load distribution with in the rod.

Nice deal for the money.

Purchased this rod for fishing Southwest Florida, I have travel rods from other makers that cost twice as much, this rod is light weight and beautifully made comes with a travel case,,,,can't be beat. Just ordered a second one from TackleDirect. Great price, great sevice
