Telescopic rods for predatory fish: compact, light and ready for action
Whether you want to target pike, perch or zander during a spontaneous session or on holiday, with a telescopic rod for predatory fish you always have your gear within reach. These compact rods are quick to deploy, easy to carry and surprisingly powerful – perfect for the mobile predator angler.
What is a telescopic rod for predatory fish?
A telescopic rod is an extendable rod whose sections slide into each other. This makes it very compact when collapsed – often less than 60 cm long – and when extended just as powerful as a standard spinning rod. Ideal if you travel by bike, train or plane or simply want to always have a rod in your car.
For predator anglers, special telescopic spinning rods have been developed with casting weights that perfectly match fishing with plugs, shads, spoons and other lures. Think of casting weights from 10 to 50 grams, depending on your fishing target.
Why choose a telescopic rod?
The big advantage of a telescopic rod is of course the convenience. You quickly extend it, leave the reel on, and often you can leave the full rig hanging. This way you are ready to fish in seconds. Ideal for those who fish actively, are on the go or want to be able to fish on holiday without lugging a rod case.
A good quality telescopic rod is made of lightweight carbon, has sturdy guides and a solid reel seat. With it you can fish well for pike, perch or zander – especially in urban waters, polders or other accessible fishing spots.
Are there any disadvantages?
A telescopic rod has some extra thickness at the sliding points due to the extendable construction, which gives a slightly less smooth bend than a classic multi-piece rod. You especially feel this when casting or fighting large fish. Repairs are also more difficult because you cannot easily take the rod apart like traditional models.
Still, nowadays there are high-quality telescopic rods that perform surprisingly well, especially for those who want to fish flexibly and lightly.
Who is the telescopic rod for predatory fish suitable for?
Are you an angler who loves mobility, unexpected fishing moments or is often on the road? Then a telescopic rod is the perfect companion. Also as a backup rod or as a rod for holidays it offers a lot of convenience. Do you mainly fish statically or at long distance? Then a traditional spinning rod can offer a bit more control.
