Most telescopic poles are cheap, this one is very durable. The reel attachment is made from aluminum and the pole is stiff.
This thing folds up and fits in my backpack. I only allow 1 pole per person on my boat but if you brought this I'll let it slide because it's so compact.
I've waited almost a year to review it because I wanted to put it to the test.
Caught a few trout with it, then I landed a 30" bullred in Lafitte, LA. the pole did not fail me.
Consider buying this pole, it is worth it.
It is a bit stiff for when you try to pop your cork but that's because it's strong.
I let the bullred bend the pole hard to test it's durability.
