Favorite X1.1 Travel 2025 – Compact Travel Rods Without Compromise The Favorite X1.1 Travel 2025 rod range takes everything anglers appreciate about the standard X1.1 series and packages it into a compact, travel-friendly format built for fishing on the move. Updated for 2025, the new X1 Travel models feature significantly refined blanks that are 20-30% lighter, faster, and more responsive than the previous generation, while still retaining the strength and reliability the X1 range is known for. Compact without feeling compromised One of the biggest strengths of the X1 Travel range is that it genuinely fishes like a proper lure rod, rather than a travel rod with compromises built in. Using Skyflex 30T Korean carbon, lightweight slim-profile guides with zirconium oxide inserts, and an ergonomic modern reel seat, the rods remain crisp, sensitive, and dependable across a wide range of lure fishing techniques. The multi-piece construction packs down into a compact hard tube, making the range ideal for: • travel and holidays • keeping in the car • backpack and mobile fishing • anglers who want one rod ready for multiple situations A travel range that covers real fishing situations The X1 Travel lineup includes models suited to: • small river trout and perch fishing • general freshwater lure fishing • pike and heavier predator setups • saltwater lure fishing from shore, kayak, or boat From lighter finesse rods to powerful heavy-duty models, the range is designed to cover genuine real-world fishing scenarios rather than offering just a single “do everything badly” option. Built for modern lure fishing Performance is supported by: • KR-style guide layout for improved casting and line control • Slim lightweight guides optimised for braid • Fast and extra-fast actions for lure control and quick response • Durable EVA handles designed for regular use The blanks remain impressively strong and reliable, giving anglers confidence whether fishing lighter finesse lures or heavier predator setups. Why anglers choose X1 Travel The X1 series has become one of the most popular ranges in the Favorite lineup because it consistently delivers performance beyond what anglers typically expect at this level. The Travel 2025 models continue that reputation while adding the practicality of a compact multi-piece design that is easy to transport without sacrificing fishability. Straight truth A lot of travel rods feel soft, disconnected, or overly compromised once you get them on the water. X1 Travel 2025 doesn’t. It feels like a proper modern lure rod that just happens to pack down small enough to go almost anywhere.
