Does anyone have any that they suggest for good value and durability??? I'm just looking for one that will be compact and easy to carry for my camping trips |

I'm no fisherman, but I know better than to ever recommend, or suggest a telescoping rod. I do recall that a Field and Stream editor made an excellent suggestion when asked to suggest a telescoping rod, he informed the person that asked the question that they'd be happy to refund the cost of his subscription. A lightweight two piece rod fits about anywhere, and it's far superior. To that end, I picked up an Ugly Stik spinning combo at Bass Pro, it was less than 30bux. It's plenty good enough for pan fish, and small mouth bass. |
| i have recently bought Cabela's Fish Eagle II Spinning Pack Rod 6'6" medium and i cannot complain for a medium priced rod it is very nice...that rod with a shimano sahara that i picked up from dicks for a 1/3 off being last years model has brought me some nice smallies and eyes from the kankakee river...i leave this in my car with a small plano box with a couple of my favorite cranks, few spinners, some jigs and misc and i can hit any river and most small lakes around and come out with fish... |
Make a cane pole. Take fishing line, hooks, sinkers, bobbers. Then cut a branch when you want to fish. It'll all fit into a small plastic box, and you won't even know it's there. |
| Look around, or maybe make your own. Some of the ones I've seen, look like they could possibly make good walking sticks while still being a functional pole. I was thinking about buying one, they can be fairly useful in the right situations. I saw one that was a Cabela's brand, and looked decent enough. |
