I've had bad luck with the telescoping rods. They always seem to immediately break or just fall apart.

Lately, when I vacation I take a Bass Pro Shops Extreme Travel Rod. (I don't see it in the online catalog, so they may no longer sell it.) It's a three-piece rod that fits into a hard case. It's one short-coming is a three piece rod in a case can still be pretty big when you're trying to pack light.

When I replace it, I might buy a four-piece rod because the case will be shorter and easier to pack. Like this Browning Fishing Safari Travel Rod: http://www.basspro.com/Browning-Fish...1407030701442/


I had something like this Daiwa Ultralight Kit when I was a little kid to take to camp. I may buy it again to take on hiking trips: https://www.amazon.com/Daiwa-System-...awa+travel+rod

Once upon a time, not that long ago, on my lunch-break, I decided to have a go at it with my handy, dandy Pocket Fisherman by Ronco!

That was 43 years ago to be exact! I had the tan one too and caught a few with it. No fun for me it's like ice fishing!
Ok flame away.
