Daiwa Spinmatic Travel Trout Combo

Daiwa Spinmatic Travel Trout Combo

Built as our top pick for alpine fishing in the Pacific Northwest, this combo is dialed in for trout in backcountry lakes and streams across Washington, Oregon, and California's high country. If you're looking for a quality setup that packs down small enough to stow in a hiking pack or suitcase, this rod, reel, and line combo is exactly what you've been searching for. We're outfitting it with the Daiwa Spinmatic rod in a 4-piece travel design, collapsing down for easy transport with a case included, paired with the Daiwa Exceler LT 1000 reel, compact and lightweight with more than enough capacity for backpacking trips.

Rod & Reel: The 6'6" length and 2-6 pound line rating make this rod versatile for small alpine lake and stream trout, while the ultralight Exceler LT 1000 reel keeps pack weight to a minimum without sacrificing performance.

Line: We spool this combo with 160 yards of P-Line Fluoroclear 6 pound test, a versatile, nearly invisible line that works well for trout and panfish alike.

Best For: Backpacking and travel anglers targeting alpine trout across WA, OR, and CA.
