Has anyone had any experience with telescoping rods on their yak? I inherited a telescoping rod from Damquick(Alex) before he moved back to Indonesia.It'e a spinning rod and compressed is about 18 inches long , but extended it's around 8 feet! Real easy to stuff in a hatch for that ifffy surf landing! I really like it but I'd like a few in the casting reel format! Any ideas/suggestions? Piranha
