How often have you been on a road trip, a hike, or a family holiday and stumbled upon a perfect-looking fishing spot, only to have left your gear at home? The Jarvis Walker & AFN Eurocor Travel Combo is the purpose-built solution to that problem. This compact, reliable setup is designed to be stashed away in your car, caravan, or backpack, ensuring you're always ready to make a cast whenever the opportunity arises.
A Note From Our Local Experts
"This combo sells well for a simple reason: it's a reliable, no-fuss setup that just works. Our customers appreciate that it's light enough for a full day of casting in places like Lake Illawarra locally, but still has enough backbone to handle a decent flathead or bream. It’s the definition of affordable, practical gear that gets a fishing session done in any Australian lake or river system for light-class fish without breaking the bank. We're selling this combo for a special price"

Why This Combo is Your Perfect Travel Companion
Pro-Tips for Your Travel Combo
- Check Your Joints: Before your first cast of the day, make sure each of the 6 rod sections is fitted together firmly. This ensures the best performance and prevents any sections from flying off during a cast.
- Create a Mini Tackle Kit: Keep a small, waterproof box with a few essential lures, hooks, and sinkers in the rod bag. That way, your entire fishing setup is always in one place and ready to go.
- Rinse After Saltwater Use: If you use it in the estuaries, a quick rinse with fresh water back at your campsite or home will keep the reel and rod guides in good condition for your next adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can I realistically catch with this travel combo?
This combo is ideal for a wide range of Australian light tackle species. It's perfect for casting small lures or fishing with bait for bream, flathead, and whiting in coastal estuaries, as well as trout, bass, and redfin in our inland rivers and dams.
How compact is this combo when packed in its case?
This River & Lake Travel fishing combo packs down into a bag that is approximately 41cm long (rod only), making it extremely portable. It's small enough to fit into a daypack, a motorcycle saddlebag, or your carry-on luggage with ease.
Is this a good combo for a beginner or for someone who only fishes on holiday?
Absolutely. This is a fantastic option for beginners and holiday anglers. The rod and reel are pre-matched for perfect balance, it's incredibly affordable, and it comes ready to fish. It's a low-risk, high-convenience way to get into fishing.
Is a 6-piece travel rod strong enough? I'm worried it will snap.
Yes, it's surprisingly strong. The main concern with multi-piece rods used to be weak joints (ferrules), but modern designs have overcome this. As long as you ensure each section is fitted together firmly before you cast, the rod will have a smooth, strong action that can handle fish within the 1-3kg line rating with ease.
Does the reel come with fishing line already on it?
Yes, the Jarvis Walker Crusader 2000 reel comes pre-spooled with approximately 6lb monofilament fishing line, so it's ready to be rigged up for fishing straight away.
Be ready for any fishing opportunity that comes your way. Add the Jarvis Walker & AFN Eurocor Travel Combo to your cart and ensure you're never caught without a rod and reel again.
