WTB: Telescoping Fishing Rod

[iJay]

Hi guys,

My wife and I have started travelling a bit more now, I am looking for a pair of telescoping fishing rods between 6-8 feet. Something that can handle fish up-to 20lbs.

I am going to assume I will start with 10lbs line but may go up to 15lbs line.

Will be used in salt-water applications, with most likely with live shrimp or frozen squid.

Thanks for looking!

whats your budget per rod? and have you also considered a 5 or 6 piece travel rod? my 9ft fly rod is 4 pieces at just over 2ft long per piece, comes in a tube that fits nicely into a suitcase

I gave 3/4pcs rods alot of thought, however I thought that the people handling our luggage aren't exactly the most careful. The telescoping rods as far as I can tell offer alot of structural integrity when folded up.

Hoping to be around $50-$80 for both rods..

I picked up one of these this year, haven't had the chance to put it to the test yet but it feels nice and collapses down to less than 2' in length. I picked up the 7' 2/5-1oz rod, I would compare it to you typical medium heavy/fast action bass rod.
