12 Ft telescopic fishing rod. Closes down to approximately 26 inches with tip cover installed. Coated handle provides sensitive fishing for light biters and feeling teh bottom when drift fishing without a float.

Light weight and light medium action helps throw light weights and lures out there where the hard to reach fish are.

I love this rod fishing for redbreast, shellcrackers,bluegills, and trout in moving water without a float. Set a size 4 or 6 hook for panfish or a size 10 or 12 for trout. Place a splitshot 18 inches from the hook and cast slightly upstream and let it drift back with the current. This is also a great rod for using floats to drift bait inthe current and to fish around structure.

Getting a float into structure or behind the weeds can make a big difference if you get hung up every cast because you cant get out past the weeds or snags.

This is a light medium action and is a lot of fun on big bluegill and other panfish. I have landed steelhead up to 32 inches with this rod while trout fishing. Lifting fish that weigh more than a couple pounds isnt recommended though and a landing net should be used for very large fish. I swing bream and trout up with the rod though. Bass, steelhead, catfish, and other large fish I lip or net to get them to me to avoid breaking my line or the rod tip.

The reel seet is a slide snap metal type that is wrapped and epoxied . This keeps the reel, line, rod, and your hand in tune with whats happening at the end of your rod.

I use this rod the most and for the most different things of all my travel rods. Its lightweight, iot closes to a small size, its versatile, and sensitive. I can cast roostertails, hooks and worms, or crickets and a small splitshot. I use it from the bank, or from the boat to get under brush where the big bluegill and redbreast live.

Comes with a clear rugged tip protector to protect your rod while you are traveling or packing your rod around.
