Quick take
Ultralight telescopic rod with retractable handle that folds down for hiking and travel.
This Sougayilang telescopic spinning rod opens to 6.9 feet and folds down to roughly 16.5 inches, so it slides into a backpack or suitcase without a rod tube. The blank is 24-ton carbon fiber, with a machined aluminum reel seat and stainless steel guides, and it weighs 0.44 pounds. Its medium-heavy power is rated against a 15 lb line. Shorter travel rods trade away casting distance, while this one gives a full-length rod for bank casts at bass, trout and panfish.
