Product Reviews

Name: Review:
Our friends' trip to Ireland fishing turned out to be a costly mistake as they ended up spending a week on the water instead of actually fishing for their desired species. This meant we had no chance to test out our new gift and were left high and dry, literally speaking, when it was clear that the rod's handle had broken off with such force that it would have been impossible to repair. I'm still fuming about this purchase and was shocked that someone so clearly knew how to use a fishing rod wouldn't work even if they just wanted to try one out for a week, let alone be stranded in Ireland with no rod at all.

I was blown away by the compact rod Rigged and Ready travel rods ticked all boxes for me - I wanted a sturdy rod that would fit easily in my backpack and was just waiting for the perfect adventure on my motorbike. Smuggler 7 came highly recommended, but what really put it over the top was its exceptional feel, nice action, and impressive build quality.

I opted for the middleweight version to ensure it would hold up in a rucksack and decided that this rod did just the trick. I've been using it on a regular basis now and have had some incredible results - plenty of chub and perch to start with, but still waiting for my first big catch.

The customer service at Rigged and Ready has been top-notch from start to finish - after an issue with assembly that nearly turned into a disaster, I was in touch with Andy who not only got me the replacement parts, but also arranged for additional extras like extra tips and a cool pin. Today morning, I received my delivery and couldn't believe how generous they were.

I've been impressed by the variety of rods available from Rigged and Ready - today's arrival included two extra tips that really took my rod to the next level, an innovative handle design that lets me target fish in tight spaces, and a tiny tip that's perfect for child or ice fishing. It's clear that they're passionate about creating products that cater to a wide range of anglers.

I'm thoroughly enjoying using this rod on all sorts of trips - whether I'm casting at dawn or exploring the depths of Lake Michigan. With its reliable performance and outstanding customer service, Rigged and Ready travel rods are definitely a winner in my book.

I've caught trout, perch, and pike with this rod and it's performed flawlessly. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with its performance - it feels like a solid all-rounder that can handle any type of fishing I throw at it. The setup was quite straightforward, taking just under 5 minutes to get ready for a day on the water.
