XPEDITE Telescopic Casting Rod

The absolute best telescopic rod you could buy. This rod looks amazing and has proven itself durable under extreme conditions. Reel seat feels more solid than some expensive rods that I have. Telescopic rods will only be EOW going forward.

When ordering this rod I fully expected it to break in the first couple casts, but I was pleasantly surprised. I was able to fit it in a small tackle box and carry it through dense woods to the bank of a pond. After around 30 minutes of casting I caught what might be my PB on this rod. It was a good fight but the rod held out and I was able to get a largemouth bass onto the bank. I found it helpful to shorten the rod when casting around heavy coverage and then extend it after. It looks quite good for a rod this cheap and it is very portable with its small size. When you extend the rod to its full length it actually locks quite well. It also comes with a small carry bag if you are worried about scratching it or breaking off the eyelets. I would highly recommend this rod if you are looking to go into deep woods to fish a remote pond.

I'm a serious bass fisherman who bought this for bikebacking around the numerous lakes, rivers, and ponds we have here. I'm used to one-piece rods and Swiss reels. This rod seems like it's decent quality. I still have to fish it, but it definitely feels better than the Quantum Telecast I bought some years back. (That thing will barely work with baitcasters.) My one issue is that this isn't real cork, but rather foam dressed up to look like cork. The rod really reminds me overall of a Berkeley Cherrywood HD, albeit collapsible and maybe a little lighter. I'll evaluate its abilities and speed when I get a chance to go out.

These are good poles for hiking and backpacking. I've caught a lot of fish with it on trails in various places. I come across a lake or stream and just cast out with a meps spinner and it's a good time. I got one for my son too. I have no complaints and they're pretty cheap. Makes it easy to fish wherever you are.

I read nothing but good reviews about this pole I was excited to get it, but on my first cast, it broke snap right in half!

Works great 👍

The EOW XPEDITE telescopic rod is perfect—light, collapsible, and easy to take anywhere. Casting and spinning are smooth every time!

The quality of this rod is good for the price. I did have to do a small repair to the reel locking ring. it came unglued. I was going to pair this with an ultralight reel and use it for panfish but its too stiff to make that a fun combo. I ended up putting a bait caster on it and its fun but a little stiff on the action.

Have purchased 2, both have broke in circumstances not involving fish. It seems to bend well specifically in the direction where a fish would pull it from, but any pressure elsewhere will lead it to break easily.

Nice rod, seems to be really well built. A little on the stiffer side for flex but should give a strong cast.

It’s not heavy and stable, it’s really lite good for small fishing but not big ones. If u r looking for 10lb or plus then this is not the one for sure. Its more for fun I guess
