Rigged and Ready X5 Adventure travel fishing rod: The Ultimate Fishing Rod for Hiking and Wild Camping

The Rigged and Ready X5 Adventure travel fishing rod stands out as a game-changer in the world of portable fishing gear, specifically designed for outdoor enthusiasts who love to hike and indulge in wild camping.

With its innovative features like being able to a switch from a lure rod to a fly rod and its durable build, the X5 Adventure ‘is making waves and ‘catching’ anglers who crave a lightweight, durable and functional travel rod.

I’ve been using this rod for over now, I love the fact it’s compact, lightweight and can be used to fly fish for trout, lure fish for pike or cast a worm for some silver fish. It’s absolutely perfect for canoeing or packrafting due to its small design.

I’ve used this rod in mountain tarns, tiny brooks to big Scandinavian lakes but the one problem I came across was I kept losing my Butt Plug! (oh er missus).

The way the X5 was initially designed was if you wanted to turn the rod (or vice versa) from fly to a fixed spool rod, you would have to remove the butt plug, flip the bottom section around, insert the 2nd section of the rod and the put the Butt plug into the other section.

The first design saw the butt plug falling out or becoming loose.

Bring on version 2 of the X5 Adventure.

Now, not liking a loose butt plug the design has been redesigned to do away with the butt plug so the bottom 2 sections (and the butt plug) are now screw in.

Rigged and Ready has addressed a common concern among anglers by introducing more durable and reliable method making this rod so versatile that it can switch between a fly reel and a fixed spool reel.

This improvement ensures that the rod remains securely assembled during use, providing peace of mind to anglers who rely on their equipment in challenging conditions. The attention to detail in addressing user feedback highlights Rigged and Ready’s commitment to continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
