I’ve been hiking and fishing a lot lately and outifitted then kids too so have invested some time in the telescopic market. I’ve tested out more than a half dozen. Here’s my impressions at a glance and some
notes about my favorite.
Eagle claw: wet noodle
Soujiliyang: stiff as a board
Daiwa Megaforce: Too few guides, breaks
Kastking Blackhawk 2: now were getting somewhere. Tip is flimsy and broke on me because floating guides friction fit has no gasket.
Daiwa Blazon Mobile: (6106TMB) My favorite thus far. Responsive casting rod, solid construction, slick look. 8 guides.
My Daiwa Triple B spinning is in the mail. Can’t wait to try it out. Should be the gold standard but the Blazon is newer and may be better. Will keep you posted.
