Quick take
A travel-friendly telescopic casting rod that collapses under 17 inches but performs like a traditional single-piece rod.
This 6-foot telescopic casting rod collapses to under 17 inches, so it rides easily in a backpack or a car. The blank is 24T carbon with a solid carbon tip, paired with a cork and EVA pistol grip. It is a medium-power, fast-action rod that suits bass and trout from the bank or a kayak.
