Quick take

A lightweight telescoping rod that breaks down for backpack and boat travel.

This telescoping spinning rod extends to 9.8 feet and collapses for travel, so it rides easily in a car trunk, boat hatch or backpack. It pairs a carbon fiber and E-glass blade with an aluminum reel seat and ceramic-insert guides that work with braid or mono. A good fit for anglers who want one compact rod for bank, boat or surf outings.
