Not sure who the best rod guys are for break down rods... I like St Croix alot, about 90% of my rods are theirs. Take a look at the ph series sticks, I think they make one in multiple pieces...makes a great light rod for saltwater and beefy nuff for freshwater. I'd stick a Shimano on the back of that and weight it so it's got balance.

I also second Scott's opinion I have the St Croix travel rod and love it.  And with a $50 replacement warranty hard to beat that.  Break it by stepping on it, car door etc they don't care.  Send them $50 and you have a new rod.  They went a step further for me as the rod I had was no longer being made by them.  So I spoke with a CSR and was shocked when he said well we can build you a new top two pieces for the rod instead.  I jumped on that!

Good luck!
