Samson Long Cast Expanse Travel Spinning Rod
The Samson Long Cast Expanse Travel lure rod is the ideal companion for your overseas adventures. Whether casting from the rocks into deep water or out in the surf, this rod gives you the ability to get your lure to the fish. The 12ft blank is ideal for controlling your lure around rocks and features, and with a casting range of 15 to 60g is capable of targeting anything from bass to bluefish and many other species. The length and feedback of the blank means that the Expanse can also be used for bait fishing, saving you the inconvenience and cost of transporting an additional rod.
This travel version of the regular Expanse is also built on a 30T Toray Japanese carbon fibre blank. This fast-actioned, medium-stiff tipped rod performs like a two-piece, providing excellent long range casting, both surface and sub-surface lure feedback, and fish-fighting abilities.
With a deadlift capability of 3kg you can lift smaller fish from the water to help you safely land them from the rocks in difficult or challenging conditions.
The convenient six-piece travel format allows the rod to break down into 67cm sections and is complemented by the included semi-hard zipped protective case, complete with an adjustable carry strap, perfect for hiking or travelling to that remote mark. If you usually struggle transporting rods on your adventures due to space limitations, the overall case length of 74cm makes it possible to fit into a large suitcase, removing the need for an additional checked rod tube at the airport.
The Expanse Travel is fitted with quality braid-safe Fuji O ring guides for reliability and long casts, and the 70cm EVA handle provides the leverage and comfort you need for a day’s monster hunting.
Paired with a 2500 to 4500 size reel and 15 to 30lb braid, the Expanse will subdue hard-fighting tropical species.

Essential Rod Care Tips
Always disassemble all travel rod sections after use.
When assembling each section keep guides at an angle to the reel seat then twist in but not too hard.
When disassembling each section, twist back out the same direction it was put in.
If a section does ever become stuck, use sticky tape doubled on each section. The extra grip will make it much easier to free the sections.

"Fished a few times with this Rod. Very nice, the Rod is very Light. Casts great and fishes very well. I caugst my first seebase with ite this week. Caught this fish with the shad mini compact. I am very satisfield with the products."
— Dave D. (4/5)
"I haven't fished with it yet but it feels strong, nicely built and light. I deadlifted a bit more than 3kg totally fine just to test the bend. I am pairing this one with a Saragosa 5000 and the balance is great. I bought this one to fish up to 50g hard lures from beaches with rocky points, so deadlifting is unnecessary here; If you're looking to deadlift go for the TODOS I would say, if not, this one is perfect and strong enough. I was looking for a strong travel rod as I experienced rods snapping as they're built to turn the rod lighter and lighter nowadays."

"perfect rod"

"I have already a TODOS (6 piece travel). For the 80% of MEDITERRAN condition i would suggest this EXPANSE . Weighting almost 100gr less than the TODOS make you fish for many hours without problems. Still very powerful but with a more sensitive tips for use also with soft lures. . ."

"Took the rod to the USA and fished for Striped Bass at Cape Cod. Rod fitted in the suitcase and the 12 foot length gave me the long cast I need to hook and land my first ever Striped Bass!"
