Telescopic combo
Could anyone recommend a 2-4Kg telescopic combo up to the $200 range? The lighter the better. Tia.

Re: Telescopic combo
Any particular reason you want a telescopic?
Travel rods are pretty portable these days.

Re: Telescopic combo
does it need to be telescopic?
or will a 3 piece travel rod be enough?
The only telescopic rod i can remember seeing recently was one from BCF savage gear brand i think it was.. and it was reasonably expensive.
its actually on sale atm..

Re: Telescopic combo
Shimano Beastmaster 9' Travel at BCF folds into 4 i think. I remember i had one in the boot, paired with a Shimano Sedona 5000, spooled with 20lb Kato Mono. All up about $180.00 - $190.00 from memory. Served me really well..

Re: Telescopic combo
x2 for the Beastmaster. I have two of them in 10/11 ft length which pack into 5 sections. Have caught many fish from 12kg African catfish to 8kg GT from the beach on them. Solid rods with a nice action. I could fit both into a single short rod tube in my suitcase to go on a plane. Very compact pack-down.
The 9' version will serve you well

Re: Telescopic combo
what are you planning to do with the combo? for example hiking for bass would exclude some of the longer rods suggested

Re: Telescopic combo
Even look at getting a SHIMANO RAIDER TRAVEL 703 BREAM SPIN ROD, 2-4 kilo Rod, 2-10gm casting weight.
7 feet long and breaks down into 3 pieces.
makes perfect sense to pack in a suitcase.
Caught a good number of fish on that ,
Pair it with a SHIMANO SEDONA 2500FI REEL .
https://www.anglerswarehouse.com.au/ have a sale on right now and u should get the combo for around 200$

Re: Telescopic combo
If you want to go real light , look at the Daiwa GenBlack Shortbite, 1-5gms casting
