Three lengths, one packed size. This telescopic rod folds down for storage and extends to 2.1 m (6.9 ft), 3.0 m (9.8 ft) or 3.6 m (11.8 ft) depending on the option you pick, so the rod that lives in a cabinet at home is the same rod that fits in a backpack for a weekend at the coast.
You draw the sections out by hand, which takes you from bag to first cast in about a minute. The grip is a soft non-slip material that stays comfortable through a long session on a breakwater, and the line guides run smooth for repeated casting. The rod body is solid enough for regular use rather than a single season.
Choose the 6.9 ft version for close work off a dock or a small boat, and step up to 9.8 or 11.8 ft when you want to reach further out from a beach or a pier. Black and blue finishes are offered depending on the length you select. Folded, the rod stores in a cabinet, a car trunk or the side pocket of a pack instead of needing a rack on the wall, which makes it a sensible pick for casual sea fishing, family trips and gifts for anglers.
