Telescopic Fishing Rods

[nathenpd]

Does anyone know where I can get a nice inexpensive (maybe Shimano) telescopic fishing rod in the United States? All of the ones I have seen on the internet are from Europe, of Australia

Hi nathen.

why telescopic?

i would go for a 4 or 5 piece travel rod.

what length and casting weight you have in mind?

here the rods are rated for casting weight while in the states they give a pound test of recommended line.

does it have to be a SHIMANO?

Yeah, I guess a travel rod would be better, and probably stronger. I'm looking for a medium action rod, that is about 6'6 or 7'. I guess any brand will be okay as long as it is a good rod.

I think I found the one that i might be getting.

Should be perfect for throwing Floating Magnum 11's and 14's for pike and zander.
