Ontario, Calf. - From quick weekend getaways to destination trips, having gear that's easy to pack yet still performs on the water makes all the difference. The Okuma Tavares Inshore Travel Combos are a lightweight, packable system designed to deliver responsive performance in a travel-friendly format.
For anglers who want to explore new destinations, having gear that packs easily without sacrificing performance is essential—especially when targeting powerful saltwater species. The Tavares Inshore Travel Combo gives adventurous anglers the ability to pack light while staying prepared for a wide range of conditions.
At the core of each Tavares combo is an extremely lightweight and responsive 24/30-ton carbon rod blank, built to maintain sensitivity and strength in a multi-piece design. The 3-piece construction features tip-over-butt ferrule connections, creating a seamless transition between sections while preserving the natural feel and action of a one-piece rod.
Built to perform in demanding inshore environments, each combo is equipped with deep-pressed stainless steel guide frames with Zirconium inserts, providing smooth, consistent line flow with both braided and monofilament lines. The rod is finished with tapered EVA and rubber cork fore grips paired with a full rear grip, offering a comfortable and secure hold for long days on the water.
Matched with a lightweight, corrosion-resistant spinning reel, the Tavares combo delivers a balanced and dependable system right out of the included carrying case. The reel features a C-40X carbon body and sideplate to reduce weight without sacrificing strength, along with a 4BB + 1RB system of rubber-sealed stainless-steel bearings for smooth operation in harsh inshore conditions. A multi-disc Carbonite and stainless-steel drag system provides consistent, reliable pressure, while a machined aluminum screw-in handle enhances overall stability and control.
The Tavares Inshore Travel Combos are available in 7'6" Medium and Medium Heavy actions, offering a versatile range for inshore applications. The Medium model pairs with a 3000-size spinning reel for lighter techniques, while the Medium Heavy is matched with a 4000-size reel for added power and control when conditions call for it.
The Okuma Tavares Inshore Travel Combos are backed by a 1-year limited warranty.
