Anyone using telescoping rods?

[fredo]

Then i realized there were telescoping rods as well.

Do you want the rod to have guides on it? Do you want a graphite rod? Those are the key questions, IMO.

Most telescopic rods are fiberglass and don’t have guides. (They’re basically fiberglass cane poles.)

Most crappie rods over 6’ are 2 or 3-piece rods (like your fly rod), but they’re not telescopic.

In a “true” telescopic rod, it has guides, but they’re movable so the rod can collapse down. See here:
