waspy 3 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Hi all was wandering around a tackle shop the other day and noticed a telescopic rod ,got me to thinking this would be great to stay in the car in a protective sleeve ,just wondering anyone use or used this type of rod ?thought it would be great if your travelling as well fit inside a suitcase easy .

Kuerschie 2,309 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 I've owned on telescopic rod, an Abu Garcia and it was ok but not really great. I'd probably have a look at a travel rod instead. I took a shakspeare Slingshot bought from Fishing Wholesalers over to lincoln for my uni trip and it was perfect. But it all depends on your style of fishing I guess. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ausea 4 Posted October 9, 2013 Report Share Posted October 9, 2013 Beach fishing NOSand will at some stage get into the rod and create that grinding/grit feel.River or boat no problemo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
