I've lived i Hawaii all my life, and when i travel interisland or to the
Mainland I prefer a telescoping spinning rod which fits right in my
suitcase. I had a high quality Daiwa made in Japan rod but when that
finally needed to be replaced I tried Cabela's "Big Stick" telescoping
rod, and bang for the buck it's hard to beat, and Cabela's is a
excellent company to deal with. Their 10 footer would be perfect for
your needs. Don't go the cheap eBay route, lousey quality, and zero
service.
