Quick take
A compact travel rod system with telescopic sections and three interchangeable tips in cast weights 8g, 10g and 20g, weighing only 120g.
This telescopic travel rod collapses to about 19.5 inches and extends to 5 ft 11 in, with a shorter 5 ft 4 in setting. Three interchangeable tips cover casting weights of 8, 10 and 20 grams on a light-power carbon blank with ceramic-lined guides. A Cordura carry case with a shoulder strap comes with it, which suits anglers packing light for trips.
