Daiwa telescopic casting rods

[Nicholas Smith]

Hey, I just sold my bassboat and I am looking to sell most of my 2 piece and 1 piece rods. I have seen daiwa telescopic rods with floating guides online. For example the triple b. They also have another model called the Daiwa blazon telescopic casting rod. These would go perfectly in the trunk, in case i ever have the chance to do a little pond hopping:)

Does anybody have any experience with these, or other “expensive” telescopic rods? (100$ pluss) The blanks look quite well made, so does the guides. (Think it is 24 ton or 30 ton…) 

 

Also if someone has tried the Kastking blackhawk 2 i would like to hear what it’s like, even though its much cheaper:)

 

Found other chats a little like this one, but they were broader, about all telescopics.

 

Attached a photo of the blazon.

Can't comment on the Daiwa, but I wouldn't discourage you from getting one if your budget allows. My G Loomis freak buddy has a few of the Kastkings that he keeps in the trunk. Loves 'em, hasn't had any issues at all, and he's picky about rods. Whatever they aren't, they make up for in convenience he says.

Daiwa BBB kicks butt.  

My buddy Lou bought a spinner and and loves it.  He wanted it to fish with the grandkids, but now he takes it everywhere - lake, inshore, even our winter nite-lite dock fishing trip.  

At the same time he bought the BBB, I bought a Smith telescope stream casting rod, and it's a better rod than the 2-pc Tailwalk I had in the same niche.  

The Japanese telescoping rods are first-rate.  The market exists there because they travel everywhere by train.  

Lou has caught more on the BBB than this maiden bluegill.

Kinda the same here in Norway. Although the market for telescopics is non existent for casting rods, most people don’t have big nice trucks and bassboats (like you Americans hehehe), so getting 1 piece rods is almost impossible. Its the norm with 2 and 3 piece travel rods? 

 

Actually managed to pick up a 13 fishing fate black 1 piece luckily in a shop that imported before 13 made specific european rods. Now they only sell fate black and omen blacks in 2 piece…

 

Back to the point?: maybe the telescopics will feel better for me, thats used to 2 piece rods than many american anglers that are used to 1 piece.

I have the Kastking Blackhawk 2 casting and Bass Pro Shops Ventur1 casting and spinning telescopic rods. 
 

I usually bring one of them in my Kayak so I have another setup. They are all nice for the price. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the floating guides but they have grown on me. My OCD can’t handle adjusting they when they get twisted and make my rod look like one of those spirales.
