TELESCOPIC FISHING RODS

Compact in design and available in a range of sizes, telescopic rods are a fantastic option for the travelling angler of those who love to go for a spontaneous fishing session.

As the name suggests, a telescopic fishing rod is a type of rod that collapses into itself, making it easy to set up and pack away in a backpack, piece of luggage, or the car boot. The blank is constructed in a way that allows each section to slide down into the butt section. To extend the rod, simply pull it out gently, align the guides, and secure each piece in position. Matched to a suitable spinning reel, these rods cover all forms of fishing from the boat and shore.

There are several times when a telescopic rod would be the preferred option over a regular fishing rod. These include:

• When you are travelling or going on a holiday and want to take your fishing gear
• Using public transport or riding a bike to go fishing
• Looking for a more compact approach to your fishing
• Being unable to store a regular fishing rod in your home or garage
• Keeping it in the car or boat as a backup to your go-to fishing rod and reel
