It’s cool to see the new gear that y’all find a use for and buy. A few years ago I had no knowledge of JDM equipment at all. While I’ve seen travel rods of different configurations over the years it seemed that there was always sacrifices to be made for the convenience. Now I’m seeing good rods built for travel. I never thought I’d ever hear of a telescopic rod that didn’t feel terrible. Glad to see that y’all are giving good reports of them. The most traveling mine do is to the lake in my boat, assembled and ready to fish.
