Quick take
Six-section telescopic casting rod that compresses to a shorter length for compact transport and storage.
The Hurricane Mako is an 8-foot telescopic casting rod that collapses into six fiberglass sections, so it travels easily in a pack or car trunk. It has ceramic guides, a graphite reel seat with stainless steel cushioned hoods and an EVA handle. A fast action and a 4 lb line weight suit light freshwater and shoreline fishing for anglers who want a compact rod.
