Comments: I have the 7ft Med/Hvy and it's awesome! perfectly priced, comes with a nice case, although I wish it was a PVC or equivalent material. The case itself has foam on both ends, the shell is strong enough to protect your rods unless you were to really try and break them in the case. In terms of the rod itself, make sure you read the directions on how to put it together, there will be a space between each piece which may look like its not seated all the way but that's how the design is. The sensitivity is good, and the power and action is as advertised. I use this for bass fishing in MN when I visit there and I've used it for bass fishing here in CO as an extra set up. I managed to catch a 30lb catfish when fishing for bass and the rod handled it like a beast! I had confidence after that day that this rod would not break unless did something very wrong. The workmanship is awesome. well made, great finish, and quality at this price. I would recommend this to ANYONE who is looking for a travel casting rod.

From: Chenchar: Colorado 11/15/20

Comments: It's a great rod, the styling is excellent and the travel case that it comes with is very sturdy. It will store very easily in the trunk or the hatch of your vehicle because the case isn't cumbersome. The rod is a joy to fish with and it fishes much better than I expected it to. I was only expecting to have a rod that was readily available to fish when needed, nothing more, but the rod turned out to be more sensitive than I anticipated. I have had zero issues so far.  You really won't notice it's a multi-piece rod to be honest. It is tip heavy, but you are using an affordable 3 piece travel rod. It doesn't bother me and I wouldn't knit pick over the tip heaviness because this probably won't be your main rod, but you honestly could use it as your main rod. I use it for multiple applications (worms, frogs, jigs, swim jigs, biffle heads, etc) since it has a 1/4-1oz lure rating. It will sling a 1/2 oz to 3/4 oz jig quite a long ways. I purchased the 7'6" MH casting rod and I fish it primarily with an OG 8.1:1 Daiwa Tatula Type-R with 50 lb red Power Pro braid. The reel and braid combo matches the coloring of the rod perfectly. My only wish is that the rod sections had a small dot or marking on each connection area for alignment purposes like some other multi piece rods. I bought this rod a long time ago so newer versions may have it, so disregard my wish if they do. Tackle Tour also has a review of the rod on their site, they get in depth to answer many questions that you may have.

Comments: After just returning from a week in the Amazon fishing for the 'hot' Peacock Bass, I can recommend the Ardito Rods!!  I took all three of these as my rods: 2 Casting (7ft MH) and 1 spinning (7ft 6 MH). They all performed fantastically.  Of course, since you can carry them on the flight-- you know they're getting where you are going!  The Arditos were awesome! Fighting and landing a couple of large Peacocks, 17 lbs and 18 lbs, respectively, and thousands of casts- 100's of smaller fish, and 'chopping' topwater prop baits all week, they were great.  I highly recommend them. The local fishing guides thought highly of them as well.  If a rod can stand up to the Peacock Bass=fish on steriods, it can handle anything!  I highly recommend this as a travel rod.  The special 'ferruls' really do bend. Great power and a nice fast tip.  It threw small lures and even 1.5 oz without a problem.

Comments: Ok I've had decided to write a review since it's been a good few months since I've put this Rod to work. I have the 7'6 med/hvy and it is phenomenal travel rod. High quality fuji guides and overall great build. The tube is 34inches so if you're looking to travel and fly with it I'd suggest a bigger suitcase or duffle bag. Too me it's very sensitive and I can most definitely feel every bite. Rod bends perfect as a one piece. Used it to pitch jigs on laydowns and medium cover and pull out 3+ lbs bass with ease. Pretty much an all around rod. I throw everything on it from senko,frogs,chatterbait and the list goes on. Has enough backbone and power but would not recommend on Flipping heavy cover. I wish they had a 7'6 Heavy Travel Rod. That I'd buy instantly. That being said great travel rod for a great price from Diawa.

From: Bassen4life: CA 5/22/18

Comments: Been using this rod for a few months now, so I figured it was time for a review. I mainly bought this rod for when I travel for work, but I was impressed with the quality of the rod and find myself bringing it along on my normal fishing trips. I own the 7'6" Med/Hvy, have it paired with a Daiwa Tatula HD 200 w/15lb flouro, and it is a great all around rod. I throw traditional tackle on this setup as well as swimbaits up to 6in such as the Hudd 68. I have bank flipped three pound largies with this rod, so the durability is there. Not the most sensitive rod out there, but for a three-piece rod, it still beats a lot of over the counter 1-piece rods that I have used. Comes with a nice carrying case/tube as well with section dividers. If you are looking for great travel rod with the ability to get your swimbait fix on the go, this is the rod for you.

Comments: It looks great but it is very heavy and broke after a month from less than 5 uses on a very light cast

From: Unknown 11/6/17

Comments: Not just a great travel rod, but a great rod period. I've gotten a lot of use out of the 7' MH and after all the fish I've landed with it, I felt it my duty to review it. Once you assemble this stick it might as well be a one piece. The ferrules are no joke. Just set it and forget it. They hold up all day without twisting at all or coming apart. Yeah, the guides aren't the best, I admit, and the reel seat doesn't say Fuji on it, okay, but it's still a solid build overall and comfortable to fish. It's fairly well balanced, lightweight, sensitive, powerful, crisp. It casts and pitches great, sets hooks just fine, plenty of backbone. I've lifted a lot of 3-4 lb fish right out of the water and it doesn't even twist the sections off kilter, much less break it. I love my regular one piece rods, of course, but it is no letdown whatsoever to fish the Ardito. I'd rate it on the heavy side of medium heavy and the extra side of fast. I pair mine with a TD Zillion 7.1 spooled with 15# Invizx and it fishes everything from frogs to jigs to squarebills masterfully, and the best thing about it is you can pack it in the super nice case it comes with and take it anywhere. Mine stays in my trunk and goes on every trip I take. If I fly, they always let me just waltz on the plane with it and I stash it under the seat. If I ever do break a guide or something, I like this rod so much I might just have a set of Torzites wrapped on it to totally put it over the top.

From: Tony: NW OKC OK 6/10/17

Comments: Smithwick Suspending Rattlin' Rogue. This is a killer bait! I use this bait in every season. I fish a lot of river systems & this bait crushes the smallmouth & pike. I only use this bait using one technique: I use shorts casts or pitch it near structure along the banks of rivers. I pitch it to the structure, a few turns of my reel handle takes it down immediately to about two feet and I stop. It just sits there. The pike and big smallies smash it! They just can't help themselves. The pike hit it so aggressively that I had to start removing the third treble at the tail of the bait because it was sticking them too deeply in their throats. I can't attest to its swimming action, but this bait does exactly what I need/want it to do, and it is extremely effective.

From: BShelton: Owosso, MI 6/4/16

Comments: Diawa Ardito TR Travel Casting Rod, 7' Medium. I recently purchased & used this rod on a camping trip & I was amazed at its performance & sensitivity. I was hard-pressed to feel the difference between this three-piece rod versus all my other one-piece rods. There is a difference, but it is subtle. This rod feels great. It is extremely well balanced paired with the Diawa Fuego. The three pieces fit together without fear of slippage or give. I really like this rig. The hard case protects the rod while in transit & looks very good. Two draw-backs: 1, I wish the medium weight came in something longer than 7'. It seems today's reels feel better on a slightly longer rod. 2, I wish the soft sock inside the travel case came out of the hard shell. This would save me space & weight carrying it in/on my backpack. Nonetheless, this is a really great travel rod & worth every penny.

From: BShelton: Oswosso, MI 6/4/16

Comments: I purchased recently a three pieces 7'6 rod Daiwa Ardito & I like it so! Good sensitivity & castability, enough strong for a 3 pieces rod! I use it for fishing every day! Fast shipping to FRANCE! Thanks to TACKLEWAREHOUSE! See you soon

From: Patrick: Paris, France 1/19/16

Comments: I just purchased a 7'6 one for travel. The rod case is about 34.5 inch long so that I can put it in my suitcase. This rod is a good caster due to its length and the sensitivity is decent compared to my other one piece rods. It is a strong travel rod, no regard buying it.

From: Stan: Milwaukee, WI 12/14/15

Comments: Great Travel Rod- I travel up and down CA for fishing and this rod has plenty of strength for both salt and fresh water species. The compact travel case allows for easy storage in a overhead compartment in most commercial passenger aircrafts as well (except for the United Express Bombardiers turbo props). I have the 7'6" MH model and it will allow you to cast a good distance.

From: Dave: Clovis, CA 7/24/15

Comments: Great bass rod for a quick ride to the lake. When I feel like taking the bike out, I strap this bad boy to my back in the included case, stick the reel in my waist pack and set off for a couple hours. Plenty of backbone and sensitivity, especially for a 3 piece rod!
