A telescopic fish rod is a very compact fishing rod that is incredibly easy to transport. A great fishing hole and a good telescopic fishing rod will bring enjoyment and satisfaction for anyone. But choosing the best telescopic fishing rod needs good research. There are some important features included in such a rod.

No one needs a fishing rod with a poor build quality. So it needs to be made with high quality materials which provide strength and amazing durability. And also it must be flexible because the user needs to handle it with good control. Though the materials are high quality, the rod must be lightweight to ease the transportation and handling. Also the weight must be divided equally throughout the whole body. There are two types of lengths as full length and compact or closed length. However these length variations depend on the requirements like casting distance and performance of the user. The rapidness is the responsiveness of the fishing rod goes back to its original position from the position it is casted. When the rapidness increases the ability of controlling becomes easy.

The next things to be considered are the eyelets. Eyelets help to bear the pressure and weight of a caught fish easily. So a rod with many eyelets is the ideal one for a great fishing experience. A quality telescopic fishing rod must avoid twisting of blanks when landing huge fish. These twists occur due to the pressure. So the rod must deal with the pressure and need to be able to absorb that pressure without breaking. The other important thing is the action. Most telescopic fishing rods are medium to slow action range due to the materials used to make the rod. However this action’s usability depends on the purpose. Power is the other factor that determines the quality of a telescopic fishing rod. Power is the pressure that is needed to flex the rod. This depends on the strength of the rod and the materials. A medium and high power range is ideal for fishing activities. But high power means low flexibility and its sensitivity is low. However this also depends on the occasion.

So a good telescopic fishing rod needs to be made with high quality materials which provide strength, flexibility and durability. But it needs to be lightweight to increase the ability of easy transportation. The factors like length, power and the action range depends on the requirements and the occasions where the fishing rod is used. A good fishing rod has minimized its twist and as a result it has increased the controllability.

Finally, a good and perfect telescopic fishing rod must be easy for the user to control and yet it must have a good durability. The comfort of the user is the most important factor when choosing a fishing rod. A flexible research can guide anyone for a good telescopic fishing rod. So understanding the requirements and proper research will help to choose the best fishing rod.

I currently have an Abu Garcia Cardinal SX10 for my ultralight setup. Handles large fish amazingly as a couple months ago my buddy caught a 25 pound cat on it. Sizes vary from an ultralight SX10 up to an SX50, I believe, which is quite a big larger.

You can find deals on ebay for perfectly fine reels that came off broken rods all the time. I got mine for 20 bucks this way.
