Dark Matter SPS AP Travel Spinning Rods
Dark Matter SPS AP Travel Spinning Rods bring the performance and feel of the original SPS AP to anglers who are always on the move. Built with the same moderate taper as the Dark Matter HK-W, this rod offers the perfect blend of power, sensitivity, and durability — but in a compact, travel-friendly design that’s easy to take anywhere.
The 8’ four-piece construction features a hidden ferrule system that keeps the bend smooth and natural, so you won’t feel like you’re fishing a multi-piece rod. It casts beautifully, loads evenly, and has plenty of backbone to handle inshore and light offshore species.
Made from a rugged carbon blank with EVA grips and reliable SPS components, the SPS AP Travel is designed to withstand airline travel, long drives, and tough conditions on the water. It’s durable, affordable, and built for anglers who want a rod that can do it all — from fishing bridges and piers to chasing action on vacation.
Each rod comes packed in a premium hard travel case that protects your investment and keeps everything organized. Whether you’re heading on a fishing trip across the country or just want a rod that fits easily in your car, the Dark Matter SPS AP Travel Spinning Rod is the perfect companion.
If you want one travel rod that fishes like a full-size setup without the big-ticket price, this is it.
