$44 Telescoping Rod and Reel is it any Good?

[@rhino5419]

Not line ties, eyes. The way you pulled open the sections is why the eyes loosened and the sections got stuck. Counter rotate the sections to untelescope. Jamming open or to close will never work. This sort of rod has to be treated differently to a 2 piece. If you don't know how, don't review it.

[@gidiballs6373]

brendan just got REKT.

[@Area-ov4fx]

RHINO 54 well damn kinda sad you spent time criticizing, honesty just leave it alone, he’s trying to make content for you

[@swart121]

No i agree with rhino on this one why would you buy something just to break it and blame it on the product when you as the user is going out of your way to break it nothing will ever last that way i have the same rod and u cant deploy it the way this guy does the eyes will break and slaming it to pack it away im feeling sorry for the rod use the rod the way its intended for like its sayed its not the same as a 2 piece so use it properly

[@hanneliediedericks3025]

Wow just seeing this out of the box kzbin.infoUgkxQr1yd4Zc6qJF-scTB6Zb9dQbVpviuRxB recommend I have yet to fish with this set up, but based on the first hands on appeal, I can tell this is going to change the way i pack and carry to a whole new level. If you fish like i do, you know the smaller and less stuff the better. I’ve added a photo of just some of my gear so you can see how serious i am about fishing.

Yoir the type of person we need right now

[@Cr_yyy]

I know a friend that has this rod, he had no issues, Idk what happened to yours.

[@fishkeepercole2464]

Same, I took mine saltwater fishing, dropped it onto countless rocks and beeches, and it still works perfectly.

[@jaemulah7935]

👍🎣

[@marcorubio3496]

He works for consumer reports. Beats the crap out of the thing.

[@jamielynn7674]

Exactly. We have multiple sizes of this one and they are doing just fine!

[@pauloreyes2971]

Think that his got stuck because your supposed to rotate it so that it comes loose

[@grumpygnome9316]

When extending the pole ,at the joints ,use a slow twisting motion and the same when collapsing this prevents most of the problems.

[@GovtWatchdog]

Thanks for always keeping the channel clean and honest.

[@stevengallant211]

If you have a telescopic rod and it gets Jammed get oil or what I did I put lotion in water it was all I could find and put it in the crevice of the rod and it will stop it from being jammed

[@ikstrucking3289]

Second ring on many telescoping rods is like that, you are just supposed to friction set it against the thicker body. When done fishing, make it loose again. Nothing broken there, Brendan

[@amymanoharan284]

I have every size that rod comes in (different reels). Treat them well, and they will perform GREAT. I've used them for both salt and fresh, AND I've caught some big salmon on the bigger rods. Things to keep in mind though: DONT yank hard! Play the fish out. If you try to muscle them in, or really bend the pole it will break, same as any other pole. I caught a 14 lb salmon on one last year and I had no issues at all. Caught more dogfish than I can count and most of them were pretty big. I got the biggest pole they make for my father, he thought it was hilarious, but turned around and used it for salmon, he loved it. We can set it out further than the other poles and it worked great although trying to handle a pole that's as long as our boat was... interesting!

[@ibrahimwidhaadh4708]

I got this rod for about 35$ 1 year ago. So far the only thing that came off is the second line guide room the top. Otherwise it works very well. I have taken it around salt water fresh water and so on. The friction locks come off easily if you twist them in opposite direction. Not sure if u guys have notices but the rear handle unscrews to extend further. Meaning it becomes more stable and is very balanced for casting. One thing that bothers me is the double screws that lock the reel in place. As I am a right handed person I hold my rod in the left hand, and every time I chance my hand grip/ position the screws come undone quite easily. But overall it's super compact. So compact so that I took it to my college campus to fish in the pond there.

[@8Jory]

I have the 9ft version of this rod that comes as just the rod for 27 bucks. Has the same problem with guide eyes, the reel seat did the same thing. It got the full dollar store epoxy treatment and seems to work fine now.

[@psejsson1406]

Mr. Brendan Miller missed that there is the grip extension on this rod, and all together used methods of extending the rod, that only can be superseded by using small explosives under bottom cap to extend it. I have this type of rod, and the quality of the graphite core is super, though i had some experiences with lose rings one on my identical rod and another one from the same manufacturer brand low ends, that was easily fixed with epoxy glue, before i went fishing. Check the guide rings before deploying the rod. Cheap rods are so because lacking expensive product tests before shipping, but for those prices . . .

[@lblitlobby8158]

the reason why it won’t go in is because you pulled it out hard I’ve had the same thing happen to me

[@AllylYuanAndreBautista]

Luke you sum Fowler same

[@beansheinz829]

Happened with another rod I had

[@jerrysmith7166]

I've got the newer one of that I believe I can't say for sure and it has lots of aluminum parts but a lot more gold-plated plastic and seems to be made cheaper and I love it I haven't had any issues with it I actually had that same when you have a few years back and used it quite a bit I ended up leaving it and they work truck out in Texas and I miss it you're right it needs more eyelets and some improvements but for the price I love it

[@theshamanist113]

Wacky, waving, inflatable, arm flailing tube men

[@marcorubio3496]

The collapsable rods are a brilliant idea. The problems rods had was portability. It sticks out like a sour thumb. Here you should twist out instead of pulling out. That how you got stuck.

[@andrewsmith7029]

I own this fishing rod and dude I love it! But you are right! Another eye guide under tip would be perfect!

[@outdoorguy845]

I don't have that exact combination but I got that brand sougayilang. The one I got from Amazon is about a six and a half foot rod the eyelets seem better made than what you're showing, so maybe they improved it, I got it for Christmas 2018. Since there's no snow or ice here in the Northeast I'm going to go take a few cast tomorrow just to try it out. Of course it's not my main source, my go-to rod is a Bass Pro Shop, but if this works out it's nice to keep in my truck, you never know when you're going to run into water

[@cai.williamsss]

I have 2 Jarvis Walker telescopic combos, highly impressed!

[@Coronakenify]

Thanks for the warning - I was so close to taking this on a cruise. Be well

[@fishingwithmd6489]

Any suggestions on what kind of rod to take on a cruise

[@jamielynn7674]

I bought the biggest and the smallest, not really being familiar with the metric system. The pole for my dad ended up being laughably huge. Its clearly a rod for fishing on the beach, but both rods are holding up VERY well to actual use.

[@garrybattle8908]

I bought a $20 lews telescopic combo 4'6" only problem I had was tip came lose I added good adhesive an it is perfect now can easily catch 13 inch trout all day.

[@Nick_just_nick]

Haha my grandparents bought me one and I used it once for some micro fishing and it broke the on first little pumpkinseed I caught, but I actually don’t mind the reel at all and use it for my micro rod and just for smaller fish, also had every issue you had

[@georgefrancis8789]

You are right I got the same rod broken after 3rd used.

[@cameronkedas3375]

I always bring mine when I go catfishing to catch baitfish while the traditional one-piece/half collapse is set up for catfish. I can put the telescopic one in my bag, take it out, set it up, put a trout hook on, and a piece of a worm, and I’m good to go.

[@fishkeepercole2464]

I took this rod to Mexico with no problems (we were flying into Guadalajara), but when we were flying back, being the non-spanish-speakers my family and I are, the people at the airport screening took my rod, and through very broken English (I give them props for doing it though) told us my rod is an "extendeble metal whip" and he had to take it or, we pay to have it shipped back in a new carry on. Long story short, I have the rod back after that fiasco. Ps; I know he wanted my colorful fishing rod whip 😂

[@smallpaulissmall5582]

I saw a $4 collapsible rod in the dollar store the other day.. That was tempting

[@MegaNafo]

smallpaul is small 3 years ego I bought a rod for $3 ebay and I'm still using it , lol

[@blakebranstrom7600]

Just do it

[@darrencaron4383]

smallpaul is small Kk

[@TheRiverSteward]

Dude ive been looking for something like that to fit in my bag for long trips! Im going on a mission trip to Honduras this summer and i was planning on throwing the gopro in the bag and finding a set up like that to fish with!! Preciate the review and idea!

[@beemaster666]

It seems like it would be better for bait fishing especially with a bobber than using it to fish lures

[@919delo]

Love them perfect for backpacking when fishing in a area you are not supposed to be in.

[@marcomagana8340]

I got that same rod for free on wish...had the same problems with the rings but i super glued them and I've now caught a couple catfish and a few carps

[@jmppodcast]

Do most people take the line all the way out before collapsing or can you store it with the line through the eyelets and collapsed all the way?

[@xm-5178]

Ive got the exact same rod as you but all of my eyes are fine. Yours probably got damaged during shipping. The front heaviness of the rod is a problem though, I just used a heavier reel to compensate. I think the reason why your rod won't collapse is because you pulled to hard and the friction is causing those two sections to seize up

[@AKwon0745]

It is not reliable rod however, guide eyes can be fixed easily. Sanding it first and use super glue. It will hold it without any issues.

[@rajgill7576]

It looks like the base unscrews to extend and balance the rod a bit more

[@owen6979]

the snow is so pretty!

[@fishingupastorm.7907]

you abused it and broke it because you don't know what your doing

[@topbrasstv8867]

3:53 well now you have yourself an ice fishing rod

[@noburno4170]

Try getting the 7$ pen fishing rod it’s amazing and perfect for panfish

[@ryanromero7017]

AC Productions mine snapped in half

[@tylerianero1188]

OK so with that reel I had two of them and the handle fell off of both so be careful and the bail bends when fighting a larger fish

[@tracylenzendorf9183]

I suggest a eagle claw trailmaster it's durable and just as small or smaller and has a case

[@Kenarew]

my telescopers from that company have been great for 2 years now. Your seemes wonky.

[@HuntingAndFishingPakistan]

Hahaha good to hear :) Because I recently order one of these.

[@catfishancrappie9843]

Well it depends on what you call great or great condition because I have seen people have 1 to 2 line guides broken off there rod and they say it is perfect but I am not trying to be a dick head or a ass hole

[@Kenarew]

@@catfishancrappie9843 nope, still 100%. Never broken or fallen apart. Less use these days, but i would not hesitate to rely on it.

[@catfishancrappie9843]

Ok

[@Kenarew]

@@catfishancrappie9843 not ok..... GREAT. Jk

[@sbbeowulf8296]

I love telescopic rods even though I’ve never had one I like to have one but I don’t have an excuse to get one

[@Brararaf101]

so are those good enough for saltwater striped bass bluefish surf and pier fishing?

[@riotanael4020]

Very nice setup sir..can i use dis..

[@dancasey9410]

I have one and I love mine.

[@robertakonts7904]

I dont know about usa but in latvia this kind of rods is most commenly used for bobber fishing. And the target fish most of the time are roach, and we have a fish called vimba look it up its saltwater fish that goes up rivers to spawn and then its legal to catch and if you want you can keep it.

[@beansheinz829]

The reason it got stuck is because you extended a little hard, which could of pulled the line tie out. These things have happened to me and it's just really annoying. Hope this helps you out with other rods.

[@hoosierbackoutdoors1237]

Never did like those collapsible ones anyways. Good info.

[@pennsylvaniajigs7414]

I love your videos and do a best spring lure video please

[@nbuha56]

was killin the trout on my Plusinno thats that go to same price as this one on amazon

[@MagikarpCoreyy]

I used mine for saltwater and it worked great!!!!

[@briang8663]

I bought a Chinese one on Amazon and was quite annoyed when the reel wasn't already spooled. I then proceeded to spool it myself and of course I the line memory was opposite the way I was spooling it and I got very annoyed. Sure, I should learn to spool it myself, but it's so nice when it comes pre-spooked and the line already has memory for the reel and I don't have to fight with a knotting line on my first time fishing in a decade. You are better off getting a cheap Walmart set for a starter.

[@sirjhonson8218]

Cabela`s and Bass Pro Shop has a good telescopic rod for the same price . I have 2. It`s the rod only.

[@ZombieDancer]

Thanks for sharing, I was eyeing this on on Amazon but passed because of the line guides. I bought a zebco for $25 and it's much better

*CONGRATULATIONS* Fisherman 👍🎣🐠🐟🤗🤗

[@fullflavor5]

I always pull all those guides lose and melt some hot glue stick with a match or lighter then stick them back in place they will never come loose again. I've owned a bunch of different makes of them they're all the same once you get used to their quirky Ness they ain't bad!

[@aironasszzz5768]

I have one of those I now how to fish whit it

[@herpsrlife8861]

You should try the sougaylang Blackhawk collapsible rod on Amazon if feels very balanced I have the shortest model and have no problems with it

[@rainzer0]

Check out KastKing Blackhawk II. It’s a much high quality and it’s got a lot more guides (floating guides) like those high end version example daiwa BBB. I think you can only get them at aliexpress for now.

[@leatherface2104]

[@beansheinz829]

Well you got it unstuck by the end?

[@mako3976]

You should try a plussino for a telescoping rod

44 dollars?! Dude, I scored a Shakespeare 4 foot 6 collapsible rod for 19.89 at Walmart... and I have a spare spin caster at home. Just plan on using it for small river pike fishing after work.

"or in a charcoal grill" 😂

[@BrodyToYou]

any suggestions for a better compact, collapsible rod?

[@stainpain77]

It’s aluminum alloy. As soon as you typed it in properly the first time it was not going to fit and then you continually just keep mushroom bring it over. Of course it’s not gonna fit. I have reviewed I’m gonna call is user error. The lawn guys would not have yanked off if you were not slamming them out

[@IfearGod.]

Got one too same problems

[@Rezinga]

You didn't colapse the rear end.. Unscrew it it will extend a bit thats why its unbalanced... Even so you could open the bottom piece and use lead to balance it.

[@LiveDragon1]

Have you found a good telescoping rod you can recommend!?

[@purplehaze5979]

[@MaxxxPower20]

Telescoping rods should not be flung open. I did that with a Shakespeare and got a segment permanently stuck.

[@parkercasteel795]

It had to be broken during shipping cause tallfishermanj did the same thing

[@punkinfingerz7439]

I have one from the same company, its the smaller combo, 5 foot something rod and a 500-1000-ish size reel. Been using for about a year and aside from the guides needing to be glued back in place it has help up splendidly! Brought in some sizable fish with no issue and the tip is nice and sensitive, gonna get another in a bigger size!

[@billbussler3332]

Ugh....My $18 cherrywood 2 piece 7' rod is probably about a foot and a half longer than that one when they are taken down and it's no Gloomis but it has served me well for a year now with no problems. Sorry Brendan lol.....great review though.

Thats why I dont buy cheap rods. I spend good money on my rods so I also take care of them. I also use them to fish hard, but I dont toss them or whack them or anything. If you cant believe that I put this much care into my rods when theyre gonna get abused from fishing, then I cant believe that people spend money washing and waxing their cars and keeping a shiny clean paintjob when its just gonna get dirty from the road again.

[@sycksyn]

Earned a sub bro; bout time someone told the truth about what crap these companies are making these gimmicks. Sougayilang and KastKing is all garbage from AliExpress. It don't take much to make a high end reel cheap these days, the rods are always cheap as crap though.
