[cool][#0000ff]I used a telescoping steel rod when I was a kid in Idaho, but only because that is what my parents bought for me. I didn't know any better then, but I do now. I would never own or use another telescoping rod. Even a multipiece travel rod is not something I would spend money on...or make for myself.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I make just about all my rods on one piece blanks. I have fished enough to know and appreciate the difference in flex and feel with a one piece rod...vs two or more section rods.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]So, I guess I don't have much constructive to offer about that rod...or any telescoping rod. But, if that is what you like, then go head on 'til your head hurts. Ultimately it is all about personal preference and what others think should make no difference in your choices.[/#0000ff]
