I carry around a two piece medium action ugly stick Shakespeare spinner combo. Kinda shitty but I’ve used it in salt and fresh for about 2 years now..not bad for $20. I change the line out every solstice. Always been mono, but I think I might try braided next spool. I used to carry a nice graphite 3-piece fly rod and a fancy aluminum reel that was gifted to me but I was hiking over a scree field a few years back and tripped. Rod was in my hand and I went down that way, snapped the rod and the reel dented enough that I couldn’t move it. Luckily I had enough slack out and still about 6ft of rod that I just kept fishing 😁 fly fishing is great lol. Pretty similar to cane pole fishing!
You should be able to get the reel serviced somewhere i go to this shop near seattle they'd fix anythingI carry around a two piece medium action ugly stick Shakespeare spinner combo.

I do but it's hit or miss, and it's murder on the hands if you're only using line n hook but that can be remedied with gloves or a tough long sleeve shirt to wrap the line around when you get a bite.Anyone just use line and hook? Or a paddle? Saw people doing it in Mexico and thought it might be a fun way to roll.
Also, what do y'all do about licenses since I'm guessing you change states pretty often?
Used to fish and always wanted to do it traveling
Ive used a cuban yoyo in the past they work awsome and as far as licenses go it depends on how long ill be where i am sometimes i get one mostly i dontAnyone just use line and hook? Or a paddle? Saw people doing it in Mexico and thought it might be a fun way to roll.

Honestly it depends on the state i got caught in alaska once they hit me with a $1000 fine and 2 weeks in jailI have a generic shakespeare fishing rod that I got from a flea market for a few bucks. It can be nice to have a fish dinner while on the road. I don't worry about licenses, I am not sure of the implications of this but I personally have never had an issue.
jeez that's a big deal!Honestly it depends on the state i got caught in alaska once they hit me with a $1000 fine and 2 weeks in jail
Well its not the first time they caught me it was like the 3rd or 4thjeez that's a big deal!
