Quick take
An ultra-light 4-section telescoping combo that fits in a 20 inch tube for compact travel fishing.
This travel combo packs a four-section ultra-light spinning rod about 5 feet 4 inches long into an 18-inch length, with a spinning reel, a tube and a carry case. Three interchangeable tips handle casting weights from 1/4 to 2/3 ounce, and the rod pairs with 2 to 6 pound line. It suits anglers who want a small setup for trout, bass and light saltwater trips that fits in a bag.
