Tackle Talk: Telescopic Rods

[@waltnickell4294]

5 years after you posted this and it is still relevant, still informative, still fun to watch. Thank you!

[@Zokermanswern]

Rod/reel combo with fishing kit as an emergency setup kzbin.infoUgkxntWMOZsO1Zfv-pdn_XuffEtNkTYAYu4Z recommend but started to use this every day. The rod is thick and seems durable. I keep it neatly tucked into a regular backpack all the time with my fishing gear, and can grab it anytime, put it on my back and go anywhere. I just read in another review that the rod length below the reel is adjustable as well, so I will try that too for even more portability. Probably the best setup I've ever owned. I lost the cap for the eyelets, but no big deal since I still have the black cloth sheath that came for the pole and I use that. Very portable and high quality.

[@Matte-s2l]

Would love to see a 2024 version of this video.

[@schnooleheletteletto]

Before watching this video I had been doing a lot of research on telescopic rods. I felt like it wasnt worth my time and that they all looked like cheap garbage made for amateurs. After watching this video I realized there are quality telescopic rods out there and that the technology has gone forward quite a bit. This is the best video about telescopic rods that I've come across. Informative, straight to the point and clear. Thank you

[@Noise78]

The most informative video ever because of you I have a line of telescopic rod. Rest in peace brother!

[@mitchcoleman1238]

I’ve owned an Eagle Claw telescopic rod called the pack it for several years for trout fishing. It’s an inexpensive spinning rod that handles really really well. In the time I’ve owned it , it’s never given me an ounce of problem, no breaks and no malfunctions. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@PsychoSynoptic]

I know I'm late but I'm glad I finally found a channel that doesn't shit on telescopic rods. I'm really loving them and I do believe they have the ability (good ones) to be just as good as any other bass tackle gear

[@victorluciano4118]

Man.. keep doing videos like that, it's really informative talk. I learned a lot of stuff on this video!

[@jimvreyes]

Any update on the Kastking Blackhawk 2 telescopic rod?

[@roybinson6460]

Awesome guide, been looking for something like this. Excellent work, greetings from Sweden!

[@TheOpelkoenjas]

I love my telescopic rods. Easy to carry around in your backpack and easy to deploy and fold without having to fiddle around with your line.

[@pauldixon6654]

Greetings o wise one. Iv always thought of telescopic rod as weak pieces of poop until NOW that is. what an absolute joy its was to watch your show. thank you for sharing and posting. a big thumbs up and subbed.

[@jackchn23]

Please do an update on the Kastking telescoping rod. Thanks!

[@dannyb3177]

JKC my tip broke on mine lmfao, not sure if it was a defect or not but definitely snapped on me. I do have the triple b and that thing is something serious. And light omg light, I have it paired with a curado DC

[@randyross5630]

@@dannyb3177 I got the Sharky III 1000 & 5000, and I was going for Rods I couldn't break easy and be Cheap. I got a Brutas Rod, Solid and good for Braid, however selection sucked and its a bit heavy for my Sharky 1000, being rated 6 - 15 mono, while y 1000 is 6-10, however its also a Back up if I break my 8ft Inshore Blackhawk II, which does not seem that great for Braid. I also want a Sharky III 3000, a better matching Pole for my 1000 (a lighter pole), and something tougher to replace my Blackhawk II, and have my BlackHawk II as my Travel Inshore Pole, but Selection is getting tight, and probably will be tighter next spring and summer, buy all your equipment now and some spares, because Meat Prices are going to go up, as with Fishing Equipment Prices, and with the coming prospect of going to an over crowed super market during another out break this winter, for a crappy over priced meat selection with limits, or fishing, you know you want to be fishing...

[@andruhahaha]

Hey BCSG.. great video... you opened up a whole new world of rods for me. You perfectly explained in the beginning of the video why people stay away from telescopic rods... I stayed away from telescopic rods because of the fact that I have NEVER seen a quality telescopic rod. I was not able to get my hands on BBB or Molla buuuuut.. I found a new 2018 Abu Garcia Hornet Stinger Plus(baitcasting version). It has only 7 guides but looks like a quality rod. Will update this comment when I get some time on the water with it. Anyway, just wanted to say Thanks for your great videos.

[@claypoole90]

Kopeika was it any good

[@rommelbuyoro4980]

hey man! please do some tutorials how to use telescopic rods , tips and details

[@robertramirez908]

I picked up the bbb 666 and don’t regret it. Use for the same purpose. To conceal in my backpack

[@HipOperation99]

Thank you for explaining why more guides matter. I had no idea but it makes sense!

[@thecorbin2252]

How was the KastKing? What was the most durable on this list?

[@MegaCritas]

Waiting for the review for the black hawk II. I really need a compact rod cuz I travel alot.

[@stephenbeaver2035]

Obviously an expert on telescopic rods. Great video! I never even heard of the bbb rod. That is an awsome looking rod

[@SkinnyBOfficial]

Where can u get those neoprene cases seen in the cover photo?

[@The_Multi-species_Angler]

They aren't made for every rod I searched everywhere. Only daiwa makes them for their rods and are sold with their rods only. I found one someone from japan was selling as junk.

[@Buck2901]

BIG Thumbs-up buddy, very informative info. Thanks for taking the time.

[@Bryghttt]

Awesome video. Thanks so much for making it. Been watching your channel for a while, and have been wondering about a lot of these rods. Looking forward to further info on the kastking. Cheers from Canada

[@SuspendaS]

Please make a video on how you care, clean and maintenances for a telescopic rod... I just got one and I want to know if there is anything I can do to make it better, like add oil to certain areas? Please help.

[@jeezosdude867]

This video was on my mind for 5 years and I finally bought a telescopic rod set at like $40

[@GardenerEarthGuy]

Temu isn't anything to be embarrassed about! I picked up one, too for behind the seat in the truck.

[@tylerd947]

whats the best telescopic rod in 2021 i cant find these rods for sale

[@JohnJames.]

My first name starts with a d and my last name is Tyler. I've been looking for one myself. I found a Shimano Stc 9 foot on Craigslist for 45. I don't know the weight but I think its medium. I want a light setup for trout I can keep in my single cab truck

[@mohamadfaizan84]

I use kasking valiant eagle + Blackhawk 2 for nearly 4 year. Use for bottom fishing and casting(snakehead hunting).. this rod never let me down each time I’m fishing.

[@Whyd-you-at-me]

Is kastking a good brand for rods like are their rods flimsy like sougayilang

[@pgunna1221]

Where u get your cases for telescopic rods?

[@jsal7241]

They might have came with the rods

[@jairusaudwin5078]

5 months since this video was posted, is there any update about your kastking blackhawk 2?

[@blndrckr]

I like your style, knowledge, clarity, everything!!! thanks for helping me out!!🙏

[@superdupermax]

busted the end cap on a.... CHIBA or something rod i had. looking for a new one. thanks! this is smaller and more compact. i mostly do salmon fishing off the shore.

[@RayyanHaziqHamdan]

I have used the Kastking Blackhawk for more than 3 years, still good and catches lot of fishes during my travels. Lend to a friend till now don't wanna return it....

[@mystedavid]

Awesome video. Content very professionally delivered. Thank you so much for this. Happy fishing!

[@MrRyu1er]

Can you do a review of the Plusinno telescopic combo? Every online “top 10 list” for telescoping rods has it placed pretty high up 🧐 yet the company seems sketchy

[@remoravictim]

great channel and keep up the good work. just wondering if there is any updates on the kastking. thanks

[@thedetective8150]

Any update on the KastKing telescopic rod? I am looking for a travel fishing rod as I will be living in Indonesia for a few months.

[@alvinwine5665]

The kast king Black hawk 2 is awesome telescoping rod comes inspinning nd casting and is a good amount of eyes forbaitcasting check them out you will enjoy them, kast king telescoping rods come in ultralight to xtra heavy they are awesome and any length, there is a vid on youtube the guy using the Blackhawk2 pulls in a 40 lb. Catfish so they are durable.

[@mrfamousgetfamous7885]

Just got 2 Daiwa 666 BBB's from Japan! They came in today, very impressed.

[@ilikerealmaplesyrup]

What is the difference in price and what is the difference between the 6106?

[@2fast65]

This is very helpful i want to get one to keep in my side by side atv i pass a lot of good looking fishing spots while out riding thanks have a great day be safe.

[@andychoe2486]

Thanks bro, i had been waiting for it for along time lol.

[@benlewis934]

This was very informative. Thank you. I am going on a week long trek on the Florida Trail, naturally I want to fish during that time. I see the rod covers that you have, and was wondering where you got those from? I don't want to damage the rod backpacking through the swamp.

[@I_am_Jeff]

Ben Lewis I’m pretty sure those are Daiwa’s telescoping rod covers. You can find a variety on ebay

[@xhr2530]

Another affordable telescopic rod and reel is the kingswell. Can you look into that one also?

[@_MANNATESTIMONIES]

I'm looking for a 9ft or 10ft telescopic spinnnig rod for coastal bass fishing in the UK.. Any recommendations?

[@VintoyRamirez]

Hello from Cali! Your channel is very informative..I do have a question though .. is this the the specific model for the medium/heavy triple B? Daiwa 12 BBB 6106TMHFB 01404404 bass bait casting rod.. thanks.. perhaps you have it by now but just letting you know that I found one online that’s for sale pre-owned..

[@MicahManago]

Awesome info on these rods! Thanks for creating this vid. Try adding a chapter at the start which would be 0:00. That should trigger youtube to set each chapter or time stamp as you call it.

[@KeepinItReelFishing]

Extremely thorough and enlightening video! I was still in the dark with telescoping rods.....as you mentioned thinking they were cheap toys. I am a huge fan of the US Daiwa Ardito 3 piece rod which I take when flying or backpacking. But, as you stated the ultra compact nature of these allows for better carrying options. I think you sold me on the BBB 6106 TMFB. As of this moment do you happen to know of any medium heavy models on the market? I see the one you mentioned as discontinued, and don't see any other options. Although....I only know of a handful of JDM fishing sites. Thanks again man. Great video and excellent channel!

[@Sertao2013]

Will you do a review on the Bass Pro Shops Aventur1 Telescopic Casting ?

[@jvtaxi3766]

Dam shadow is the smallest,best telescopic rod I have ever owned, the quality is outstanding, have used it for past 4 years without fault.

[@kimfeichoy9124]

BCSG where is the Kastking Telescopic Rod video ?

[@MrRourk]

The joy is fits in backpack with reel and line + Crusader Spoon all ready to go.

[@jell-oputin8036]

The Blackhawk is 10 grams heavier, gonna have to hit the gym💪🏼

[@BCSGFishing]

Gotta smash those barbells!

[@alvinwine5665]

10 grams of awesomeness I'm a big guy and 10 grams does not make a difference to me

[@pjserny]

What's the verdict almost 5 years later? How have the rods held up?

[@liamtapispisan8146]

I’ve been waiting years for the kastking BH2 review lmao

But I have the bh2 it’s not bad it works,

[@omaarmoraad516]

Can you please let US know!! Which website you order your Rods!!??

[@mrgrimey_oneshot2129]

Where can I get those type of cases for the rods in the thumbnail?

[@joshuarobertdaniels]

Did you ever make a follow-up vid on Black hawk 2? Curious to know your thoughts on it now.

[@randyross5630]

He Kept calling it the China (Chi-na!) Rod, lol... Yeah it's made in China because our Fearless Leaders decided to build up our Enemy. Why? Because they want a Good Old Fight that's why, oh, our Evil Fearless Leaders... But any who, it's really an American Rod we have made in Chi-na! and Produce Products with near the Quality of the Best Products in the World for as low as 1/4 the price! The Fact is I am not spending $200 on a Rod (unless I am catching Sharks and Tuna and its a Beast from the North East!), because at that point for $400 for a Rod and Real, I'd just buy a sweet net and stuff and submit a plan of where I would put up my Smelt Net! and things like that. I got a Sharky III 1000 & 5000 on a Brutus and Blackhawk II (8ft Inshore), and the Fact is the Sharky III is a Hell of a Reel, its KISS system from Water Protection is what really sets it apart in its price Range, and the thing is normally I do not go fishing enough, so I can have a Reel for a While, particularly with the water seals on the Sharky III, but I just moved over to Maine like 9 months ago, from the worst fishing area in NH almost, so I think I'll be going fishing more, I am like 25 minutes from the coast (to places you can fish, but 20 minutes from on of those new Destroyers) and like 15 minutes from Bays, and 1 mile if even from the widest part of a River with an Island in the Middle that is a fair sized park, so I think I am Def going to get some fishing in, like its going to be my plan to eat some days (I have 6+ months of food), but really my get the f out of the house to do something and breath fresh air plan.

[@diegoreyes-yc4co]

Randy Ross I just ordered the sharky 3 x Blackhawk combo hoping to see results

[@diegoreyes-yc4co]

Mattias Nyhus caught my personal best a week ago. I wasn’t able to check the size but this sheepshead was bigger than anything I’ve ever caught. Rods sensitivity is great and have had no issues with the reel or rod since I got it. I’ve used it around ten times this month at least all in saltwater and haven’t experienced any issues whatsoever

[@ericspletzer]

I had the Blackhawk 2. Nice rod fo the money, particularly relative to telescopic baitcast competition at that price point, but all the action was in the last 8" in a flexible fiberglass tip, which broke in 2 weeks. I replaced it with the Daiwa Blazon Mobile (which I think is the new Mobile Pack) 6106MBT, which was twice the cost but ten times the rod. Absolutely love that rod. Pulled in a PB bass with it yesterday.

[@FreedomFishing]

@@randyross5630 you just explained away my thoughts exactly. God bless!

[@MrHisoman]

I use a telescopic rod too, USA Eagle claw 5.6 feet spin cast type. It's very hard to cast by baitcasting reel bz it's moderate action but no problem with spin cast. I will bring it to sg next week for peacock bass fishing. WISH ME LUCK.

[@archiemilne1830]

your setup is so nice!!!

[@BK-ks2sf]

Where are those covers in the thumb nail from please??

[@pancho3321]

I am looking for a suitable rod to play in salt water such as grouper, sea bass and fish like toman for fresh water. What brand rod do u suggest ...

Have you checked out the KastKing Blackhawk 2 telescopic casting rod?

[@situationreview]

Palms Molla MSGC-69 MHF / T 5 is in production and priced at Y 19,800.

Will look forward to the review on the kastking Blackhawk 2 .I had seen them on eBay and for someone that will only use a telescopic rod when on holiday out side of the UK for 2 to 3 weeks a year .I just need a good cheap rod .

[@andrade1124]

Update on the kastking???

[@blobblob8205]

Just purchased an Okuma Voyager Select, collapsable spinning rod. Very impressed with the construction and quality. It is 6' long, with two floating eyes, and handles 1/16 to 1/2 oz lures. 4-12 lb line. I took it out and found it fished much like a regular, decent quality rod. I m able to cast nightcrawlers with no added weight, to reasonable distances. It certainly appears above the quality of all the other collapsable rods I have seen out there. Not sure it it was available when this video was made. It is certainly much quicker to set up and take down than conventional rods - Easy to leave strung, and to collapse/extend. So far, I have stopped my search.

[@blobblob8205]

Correction, the Okuma goes to 10 lbs test line, maximum.

[@ALex-gp5wc]

Any thoughts on Troutia S50L-T?

[@vizzini2510]

This was very helpful. I have had a Zebco telescopic rod for about 30 years. I think I paid $10 for it, and it has never let me down. However, now I am planning a trip to Alaska for salmon, and my tiny Zebco is not up to the task. I plan to fly fish on the rivers for salmon, but I also want a telescopic spinning rod for surf fishing. Do you know who makes the most robust telescopic rod? I have not seen any that could handle a 40-50 pound King salmon.

[@brick2392]

I don’t know if you answer this comment but what reel do you have on that Triple B 636

[@bigglyguy8429]

I've ordered the Black Hawk because I have 3 of their Baitfeeder reels, which I like, and I'm entirely new to casting reels and rods. I'm not at all sure there are any suitable fish in the area I fish anyway, so it should be fine for me to experiment and play around with. If I do catch anything at all then I can figure out if I need better gear... But this is just for the rainy season anyway. Dry season I head for the sea in my proper boat :D

[@richardbowles7704]

Great video! You answered many questions I had about them. I'm about to purchase a new telescopic rod and this video is really going to help me when I'm shopping.Thank you for the information

[@stevejones9636]

are the 6106lfs any good because thats all that is left but i worry about the lure weight and line weight on these i target meduim to large fish like 40cm to 80 cm fish

[@kyfisher3662]

Where can I get those rod and reel covers that were in your cover photo?

[@andylam83]

Hi big fan of yours i got in telescopic fishing rod because of your videos. I got the daiwa tripple bbb and the kastking hawk and it works amazingly good. The only negative thing i can say about the kastking rod is be careful with the floating ring it can crack if you use to much force. But i was wondering if you can do a review on kastking mega jaw elight casting reel its has some pretty cool featurs and its anti birdnest

[@ddselvig]

Do you know if all those line guides are aligned to the spine of the rod? Seems to me that if they aren't the feel of a telescopic rod would seem a bit out of balance.

[@alanmycheong]

hi Bryan, can't seem to find any info on telescopic rod builds with regards to their spines - standard rule applies? if telescopic rods don't have one or much in the same manner as conventional rods, am considering arranging the guides a la spiral wrap with a cheapo. thanks.

[@Fishinwithg]

HI. I’m looking for a tele rod thats suitable for very heavy surf use. I need a very long surf rod but want it to be tele.... do you have any suggestion?

[@stephangrobler5524]

great vid. What are your thoughts on the dawia legalis telescopic rod? Comes at a much better price range than the bbb. They are very popular in South Africa. Was thinking to buy the 7” for my son’s first bass rod.

[@puteraindraazri5561]

Can review on the latest kastking baitcasting telescopic rod... Is a cheap telescopic rod but good quality... Hope that u can review it

[@wsalas13]

senkoskipper did a review on BH2

[@fashopimpin]

Can the BBB 636 cast out 1/16 oz?

[@lhez]

If you could only choose one rod for light fishing up to 2 pounds fish, what rod would you choose, the 6106TMLFS or the 6106TLFS? I will fish from a kayak.

[@Motorcyclewindtherapy]

Really love my Eagle Claw telescopic rods. I prob have a dozen. For over a decade people I fish with have told me they will break...still waiting, lol. I have a very expensive Ab7 baitcaster on one...many other Abu's in others, spin casting reels (zecbo 33 micros) for light line...and even a spinning reel...although I do not prefer to use an open face, rather use a spin cast...just me. I own a lot of travel fly rods too...but assembling and breaking down each time is, as you said, wasted time to me. I just extend the rod and start fishing. I have a few if these in my backpack, 4 or more pre rigged in my boat...and I'm ready to go. Being over 50 and having caught more fish than most I talk to...i no longer care about what others think. And.. I actually like the action of a glass rod. I actually bought a few glass fly rods because I love the moderate action. It's an easier action for me. Hope you enjoy your fishing! Great video.

[@amaizingstuff6528]

Which telescopic rod is good for chub fishing on the river. Please tell me someone ?

[@艾伦-b2w]

For Daiwa BBB baitcaster, why is anything shorter get the R designation and anything longer get the F designation? For example, the 666TLFS stands for 6'6, 6 section, light power, fast action, spinning, and the 6106TMFB stands for 6'10, 6 section, medium power, fast action, baitcasting. What does the R in 666TMRB stand for? Thanks.

[@Sertao2013]

Will you do a video on the Bass Pro Shops Aventur1 Telescopic Casting Travel Rod - AV70MHT-T It seems to be a lot of rod for 59.00 . Travel-friendly rod is built on a quality RT2 graphite blank and features lightweight EVA split grips with X-Wrap and a rubber cork butt cap. Fuji® aluminum oxide guides provide minimal line friction for smooth, trouble-free casting Each model has 6 telescopic sections and 8 guides plus tip. When retracted, it has an overall retracted length of 24-1/2". Includes a protective cover to keep the guides safe during transport. They also have a spinning rod for 49 .00 Make the video about both of them . I have the spinning rod and I really like it .

[@ata1421]

Please do video on shimano baitcaster telescopic rod, at least let me know the model of it. Thank you

[@grinchyface]

The Kast King Blackhawk 2 allegedly uses Toray carbon, and if this is the case it's likely on-rating, and additionally, Toray doesn't really like to sell to companies it also doesn't consult to, so you can be somewhat sure that if it's Toray, it's also manufactured with some feedback on Toray on how to actually achieve the strength numbers it is engineered to meet.

[@pgunna1221]

I looked at the reviews on the kastking and people in aliexpress was saying they are bad rods and what not. Did you use yours yet and if so what's your honest opinion on it?

[@timothychanzl]

Can you review the Daiwa Wise Stream telescopic rod please? How does it compare to the Abu?
