Travel fishing rods: From packing light in the airport to battling big fish, this is the ultimate Spanish travel fishing road trip! Nick and Adam head out with the Shimano STC travel fishing rod series (Shimano Travel Concept), pushing these multi-piece rods to their absolute limits on both the remote rivers and the open sea of Spain. Travel and Fishing!

This trip delivers the ultimate test across a wide variety of species. On the freshwater side, we target barbel, zander, and catfish. Then we head offshore into the salt, tracking down lightning-fast bluefish and heavy-hitting pelagic tuna. So if you want to cast small lures in tight river spots or bracing for a brutal offshore run, the STC lineup handles it all.

Check out the exact Shimano STC rods used in this video below:

Shimano STC XR Monster: The ultimate heavy-duty travel rod that gave us the raw lifting power to tame massive catfish or other FW and SW monsters.
