Description
When the fish are sitting far off the beach, you need a rod that can reach them — and still fit in your bag. The Hey Skipper 11′ Surf Commander Travel Rod was designed for anglers who want power, distance, and the ability to pack up and fish anywhere.
Crafted from premium carbon fiber, this rod delivers long, effortless casts while staying lightweight and balanced. Its reinforced backbone and power handle give you the torque to battle large stripers, drum, sharks, or tarpon — yet it remains responsive enough to make catching smaller surf fish just as fun.
At 11 feet, the rod breaks down into five compact pieces, packing to just over 2 feet in length. Toss it in your car, carry-on, or checked bag — no rod tubes or oversized luggage required. From Florida’s beaches to the Pacific coast or beyond, this rod was built for anglers who travel light but fish heavy.
With a casting range up to 6 oz, it’s made to launch baits past the first sandbar and reach the fish that sit just out of range for ordinary rods.
As featured on the Hey Skipper Fishing Channel, this rod represents what our brand stands for — freedom, adventure, and the ability to fish anywhere in the world.
