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.

[@victorluciano4118]

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

[@adamshields1754]

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

[@roybinson6460]

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

[@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. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@mystedavid]

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

[@RobBastien]

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

[@andychoe2486]

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

[@alwin26]

very informative. keep up the good work.

[@MrRourk]

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

[@MikaKise]

Loved this video man!

[@jimvreyes]

Any update on the Kastking Blackhawk 2 telescopic rod?

[@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.

[@blndrckr]

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

[@archiemilne1830]

your setup is so nice!!!

[@stephenbeaver2035]

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

[@HipOperation99]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@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.

[@MegaCritas]

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

[@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!

[@remoravictim]

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

[@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

[@digital11337]

Great vid mate ! Thank you !!

[@_MANNATESTIMONIES]

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

[@brandonlim6892]

Hi, Just looking for some review on the Kastking Black Hawk II baitcaster version before decide to get it. Saw your video pop out from the search. So just want to ask, is the rod actually that nice as claimed by Kastking and Joe Simpson?

[@lewismericle1825]

really enjoyed the video, great insight

[@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

[@shawnmendrek3544]

Gotcha thanks.

[@jairusaudwin5078]

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

[@Tolga-ft7vs]

Subscribed. Great video mate

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@a.i.dimmer4616]

Very informative,thanks.

[@sonia0109]

Hi BCSG! thanks for sharing your experience... helpful! have you had the chance to try the tailwalk troutia or tailwalk outback telescopic> I heard this brand is making good quality rods. Have you heard of anything on it? thanks in advance

[@barrabran]

Thanks for the informative video, may I ask what is the name of the first pond that you featured with the barramundi? Thank you.

[@BearzG]

What would you rather pair with the DAIWA BBB 666TMLRB with? I have these 2 reels im deciding to pair it with- Daiwa Steez SV TW Daiwa Ryoga SV1016

[@BCSGFishing]

I'd probably go with the steez, but I'm not the best person to ask about daiwa reels because I have almost 0 experience with them. From what little I know I believe the ryoga is a little too powerful for the TMLRB.

[@BearzG]

BCSG Fishing but youre the telescopic rod king! Lol. Thanks for the reply bcsg. Gonna dedicate the unboxing of the telescopic rod to you when i post the vid haha

[@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

[@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...

[@max_liowce]

Wow! Just finished this video, have you tested your Kastkin Blackhawk II? I am thinking of a cheap travel rod. :)

[@tailslapexplore6887]

Hiya mate, have you did a vid on Jackson Bastard spinning tele rod which you shown moment ago? would appreciated if you could give a tip or two like action, sensitivity, prices, isit worth buying? cheers mate tightline.

[@kimfeichoy9124]

BCSG where is the Kastking Telescopic Rod video ?

[@alejandroquiros2910]

Ihave 2 kastking telescoping road one is 73 m h and 68 medium for precent to travel rod there very good casting no problems loved very good for travel

[@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

[@DickCinnamon]

I haven't fished in 20 years and this is thoroughly interesting.

[@MYYFISHING]

Would it be feasible to use a Kokanee/Salmon casting rod for BF? I've looked into them as an option for my first BFS combo, but they are all moderate action. How would this affect its use for Bait finesse casting?

[@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.

[@pgunna1221]

Where u get your cases for telescopic rods?

[@jsal7241]

They might have came with the rods

[@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.

[@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.

[@bjkalafatich9718]

Thank you for this information... very informative and helpful for us. I am in the market and just beginning my research, which you just cut down. Interested in you new comments on the Black hawk2? Thanks and hope you are doing well.

[@alanfujimori1127]

Wow. great video.

[@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.

[@liamtapispisan8146]

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

[@YZzNeRFz]

topwater PH right😂😂😂😂

[@YZzNeRFz]

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

[@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?

[@bryce6267]

hey BCSG just wondering when you spool up a new bfc reel with lets say 8Lb braid what pound backing line do you use? and how much? keep the videos coming :)

[@zachtan2649]

Bryce I tend to use the same thickness monofilament as the main line. For example, if u using 20lb braid you should be using like 6 lb mono.

[@richarddwyer4246]

How do you feel about the eagle claw pack it? 5-6 rod with only 4 guides. For 15$ I grabbed one and out a Shimano 500 some reel on it just to keep in the car.

[@robertveith2255]

I like the way you describe things thank you !!!!!!

[@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

[@thecorbin2252]

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

[@thanhson86vn]

What are you recommend daiwa bbb vs Abu Garcia trout rod?

[@Sertao2013]

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

[@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.

[@David-kj1vm]

can you do a review on best low cost mini travel rod and reel. I would probably buy anything you recommend

[@sme70]

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 .

[@babanismael4700]

I have ordered one but haven't got yet. I like it and wanna to hear about it

[@johnc5704]

Rods is great, i use MH 10-20 lbs 2,28 m but the finish of the rod tho are horrible, especially the floating guide

[@user-zg2tx8pe7o]

Would love to see a 2024 version of this video.

[@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..

[@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.

[@andrade1124]

Update on the kastking???

[@shijjas]

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

[@raghus8715]

Daiwa, shimano etc make telescopic surf rods for surf or beach fishing. Is it ok to use such rods instead of a two/one piece to catch striped bass, sturgeon, small sharks etc from shore ?

[@telemarkmann6870]

I am interested in the 4 piece pack/travel rod you mentioned. I can not find it on the web. Can you please post a link to a source.

[@timothychanzl]

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

[@situationreview]

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

[@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.

[@cazadoresnorteamericanos]

Great video

[@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

[@ShafikKassam]

Excellent video. Just subscribe! I just picked up a Kast King Blackhawk II. Do you recommend a good bait caster reel for it. I have not used the rod yet but plan to later this month. Thanks again 👍

[@paulm3040]

Shafik Kassam I had 2 kastking 2 rods, they went to charity shop. Why ? Well, they are well made but, heavy, do not cast well, short butt. Not very sensitive. Hope this helps

[@user-xr5vr2uq6v]

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.

[@ALex-gp5wc]

Any thoughts on Troutia S50L-T?

[@ifishcatfish]

Is the Kastking rod at least true to power designation? Is it a true medium?

[@krevo81]

I bought the 6'8 Medium KastKing and its pretty close to Medium by US standards. The rod is so heavy though that it feels a lot beefier than it probably is in actual use.

[@nathanladd3096]

They have a couple different sizes. I have a medium heavy black hawk II and it performs great! And yes they are true to power.

[@BeanerMarley]

Hey man, love your videos, by chance would you have a place I might be able to find a 6106TMHFB? I've been looking for a month and can't one for sale anywhere....

[@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.

[@groundingtiming]

hello any updates on the kastking?

[@westbygodventures]

YES totally agree with the rods that come in multiple pieces to me the main point is something convenient and quick to use and the same for all these ones that come in cases that you pretty much take everything apart to put it back in doesnt make sence 🤯🤔

[@andyhinojosa3478]

I am limited on space, length wise. Are you familiar with any rods 13 inches or less in length when fully collapsed (bait casting prefered)?

[@tobiasmacgillicuty1525]

I would like to see a video of several (4 or 5) telescopic rods all under $50

[@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.

[@mrgrimey_oneshot2129]

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

[@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

[@jerrysmith7166]

From my experience damn near everything made in Japan is top-notch for my electronics to fishing gear to cars to Bates everything hope I get to visit lake Biwa one day

[@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
