I bought a 4-pc, med. strength 7 1/2' Fenwick spinning rod a year or so ago on STP closeout for just this purpose, super cheap. You might look and see if they have any left. However, according to the $500 rod thread, it might be a pos rod because I think I paid less than $30.

I have 4-pc fly rods in all the weights I travel with, but don't often see spin or casting rods available in more than 2-pc. I've had two trips compromised by high winds, and thought this might be a good contingency investment.
