Quick take

A pair of telescoping rods in fiberglass with cork handles that collapse to 15 inches for convenient travel.

This telescopic spinning rod collapses to about 15 inches, so it slips into a backpack, trunk or suitcase for travel trips. Extended, it reaches roughly 8.85 feet (2.7 m) in nine sections, with a medium power and fast action in a glass fiber blank. A cork grip gives it a comfortable hold, and the two-rod pack suits a casual angler who wants a spare or a rod to share.
