Shimano STC Mini Tele Spinning, Mini Telescopic Travel Rods

Product Information

One salient point to note is that all Shimano Telescopic Rod Reel combos come with a handy rod bag cover.

Like most things in life, convenience comes at a price. Telescopic rods have several joints where they could incur breakages and failures whereas a full-size rod may not have as many and are typically much stronger. This also means that a telescopic rod doesn’t allow for as much flex and bending as a traditional rod. The model is towards the higher end of the mid-price range, but it’s still an affordable option for those who want a quality telescopic rod to take anywhere. All models are fitted with Shimano Hardlite guides, which are light, strong and perfectly suited to mono and braided mainlines. These guides have a minimal effect on the rods action and enhance the overall performance when you are fishing. To complement the modern appearance, an ergonomic VSS style reel seat is fitted seamlessly into the high quality cork handle. The actions of the Catana FX Tele are true and precise. In the lighter weight actions they are great for small lures and softbaits, in the larger sizes they cast hardbaits and large lures with ease.

Conveniently collapses to a reasonable length and fits in most average luggage or easily stowed behind the seat of your car.

Having a case like this is a must when bringing lots of fishing gear on an airplane. This might seem excessive to some people but not a die-hard fisherman. Would I rather stand next to the ocean or would I rather be fishing in the ocean? I would rather be fishing and have adequate gear to catch any fish that comes in the area. Penn Squall Trolling Reel

The Catana Telescopic lure rods combine exceptional value with convenient short transport lengths. Available in a wide range of versatile options, with latest actions and modern looks, Catana will elevate your performance to a new level. Overall, I really like this Lixada Telescopic Travel Rod & Reel. It’s a great option for those looking for a quality, lightweight rod and reel combo that is portable and easy to carry around. They also come with different levels of flex and since they’re all carbon fiber, they have excellent sensitivity. Most of the rods are medium-heavy action. The short rods are great for bass fishing and larger rods are great for casting far out while bank or surf fishing.
