Telescopic rpd
 

I am wanting a telescopic rod for spinning, can anyone recommend a rod and
where to buy on the net, the ones in my local tackle shop seem a little
fragile for pike.

Thanks Keith

Not what you're after I know, but I've just started using (last 3 months) a
baitcaster setup.
Upside down rod with a trigger release reel.
Its superb sport for piking !!
I bought a spidercast rod

and a Daiwa Baitcaster reel, I'm using 30lb braid, and its great fun fishing
all types of lures.
I think I may even retire my ol' spinning rod.
Its a nice easy one piece setup which is easy to stalk with, I've not
enjoyed my pike fishing like I have in the last few months ever.
Well worth a go in my opinion.

Have a look on eBay as they come up quite often at very low prices,
should be able to pick a decent rod up for less than a tenner,

Unless they've improved since I last tried one, though, telescopic rods
tend to have an extremely compromised design, both in terms of the
effect of too many short sections (and hence ferrules) on the action and
in terms of the ring spacing.

The only one I ever really liked was actually designed for dapping, and
when collapsed was almost as long as a section of a normal rod. The
action was fine, the spacing of the rings still poor. It wouldn't fit in
a suitcase, but it was as tough as old boots and very cheap, so I had no
qualms about it going in the luggage hold. Nice rod for mullet, etc on
holiday.
