Abu Garcia Diplomat V2 Travel Rod Spinning Rod 1005M 3.04m 12–32g

Abu Garcia Diplomat V2 1005M – always ready to fish

The Diplomat V2 1005M packs 3.04 m of responsive 24T carbon into a compact 67 cm travel tube. Whether you're heading on holiday or keeping a rod in the car, this 5-piece spinning rod fishes and feels like a conventional 2-piece blank.

Portable without compromise

The 5-section design collapses to just 67 cm, yet the moderate-fast action and strong carbon construction deliver genuine casting feel and fish-playing power. Stainless steel LTS guides reduce weight while maintaining durability, and the ergonomic WFS reel seat keeps the overall weight at a nimble 213 g. A hook keeper and protective tube with adjustable strap are included.

Versatile medium power for multiple species

With a 12–32 g casting range, the 1005M handles a wide spectrum of lures – from weighted soft plastics and small crankbaits to spinners and light jigs. The 3.04 m length offers reach for clearing bankside vegetation or covering water from shore, while the moderate-fast action forgives lighter tippets when playing spirited fish.
