Do any of you have experience with fishing poles that are telescopic? I’m thinking about getting one so when I’m traveling I will have it with me. I’m currently camping by theJohn Day river and I don’t have a fishing pole with me. The pole I use for my boat trips doesn’t come apart.
I’ve owned and used several. The wife and I cruise a lot so it’s great to have a suitcase packable rig for flying. I advocate that you buy a low end Chinese rod or rod / reel from Amazon, as I’ve known known a more expensive setup to be much better. They typically will fail in time, so it’s nice to be disposable in terms of cost. I’ve caught 20lb redfish on them and have done well. I normally buy the rod and pair it with an old 4000 series Penn reel /I have.
