Sougayilang Telescopic Fishing Rod – 24 Ton Carbon Fiber Ultralight, Portable Retractable Handle, CNC Reel Seat, Stainless Steel Guides for Bass, Trout, Salmon, Panfish

I had this rod (5'9") for 7 years now. I carry it around in my truck tool box, have used it several times for trout & bass, has a decent action, nice reel seat and has held up well. Just don't stretch it out and collapse it like a gorilla it would probably brake if you are impatient and forceful with. I have no complaints though. I paired mine with a Mitchell 300x, makes a nice combo.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Husband Approved!I bought this Sougayilang Telescopic Fishing Rod for my husband, and while I don't know much about fishing poles myself, it definitely met his approval!He was impressed with how lightweight and portable it is, making it easy to take along on fishing trips without taking up much space. The telescopic design is convenient for travel and storage, and it extends and retracts smoothly.The rod feels well-made, and my husband commented that the components and construction seemed like great quality for the price. He's used it for several outings already and has been very happy with its performance.If you're looking for a gift for the angler in your life, this is a great option. Even though I'm not a fishing expert, I know a successful purchase when I see one—and this one definitely earned a thumbs up from my husband!

All in all an awesome product. Very impressed with it's strength vs it's weight. Very impressed with it's action and sensitivity. Especially for it's price. I am a big backpacker and backcountry hunter/angler and have always owned various break down or telescoping rods. This is definitely the highest quality rod I've owned. It makes me want to upgrade my cheapo real.I have the 2.1 meter rod and was worried about it getting small enough to to stuff into a pack, but it gets very small. Not only does the top collapse, but so does the handle. It is nice to be able to decide how long the handle is. It is also extremely light. comes in a nice storage bag and a cap to keep it collapsed and protect the top while stored. It is very easy to cast. I had to get new line because the first time I cast with it I hit the end of my line lol.The only reason it doesn't get the 5th star is that sometime in it's first two uses it lost it's little thread protector cap in the base of the handle. Now every time I change my setup or catch a fish and set it down it gets all sort of gunk in the handle and it grinds into the handle every time I open or collapse it.

Bought one of these 10.9 ft telescopic rods to pack in my suit case traveling from VA to FL Keys. Hooked up on a 40lb Goliath Grouper. Fought him for about 15-20 min. This pole held up and handled perfectly. Super light, compact and easy to use.Highly Recommend !!!

It looks nice, and the size was perfect for a little backpack ultralight rig.But it was too light, and broke the fist time I gave a yank to try and get a lure out of a tree. It was 4 lb test line, so I wasn't being that careful, figuring the lure would either pop out or the line would break, but instead the pole broke.One could argue that this was my fault, and I can't entirely disagree. I could have pulled the line by hand and not used the pole.Or one could argue that an ultralight rod should not break before 4 lb test fishing line breaks. This rod doesn't need to be this light, but it does need to be stronger, IMHO.But its cheap, so if you remember to treat it fairly carefully, and don't let anyone else use it, it will probably work OK for you for the price.

I have used an older version of this rod for a couple of years until the tip broke last week. It was my fault it broke. So I'm happy to replace it with the same product. Except it isn't exactly the same, it seems to be slightly beefed up. I'm reviewing the smallest one you can buy btw, 1.8m I believe. The old rod of the same length had 4 eyes, this one has 5, which is an upgrade for sure. The handle feels better in my hand, it's slightly larger. The rod extended is about 3 inches longer than the old one, not a big difference, but worth noting. It is slightly heavier, and as a person that uses this while hiking or backpacking, it is why I knocked this version down a star in the lightweight category. Overall, not a big deal though, I'll still happily use it while hiking.Which brings me to the main benefit of this rod; it's very easy to hike with. It collapses down quickly and easily. It's easy to either hold while hiking or keep it in my backpack while backpacking without it sticking out of the pack and catching itself on things. Really cool rod and I recommend it.

I was very impressed and surprised with the quality of this fishing rod. It is a quality piece and well worth the price. I travel a lot and I love to fish while I’m out there moving around. I have a smaller telescoping rod for streams and ponds, but you need something bigger for further casting in larger bodies of water so this is a perfect addition to my gear.

Edit 16SEP19Received a second pole after talking back and forth with the seller. Great communication and easy to work through my problem.Got the telescopic rod delivered yesterday and was received in great condition. The next day, I went to test it out in the water. I noticed the pole is very sturdy, while the telescoping held up fine and the action of the rod is very playful for jigging. However, after fishing a couple hours, I decided to call it a day and started to collapse the rod. The second to top guide ring came off! From the looks of it, they seem to be barely glued on. I will be in contact with the seller.

The top ring came loose. Did not glued well. Looks very nice en feels very nice. Now only the action. Upgrade you're glue or glue better for the next products.!!!

Broken after few uses shore fishing

Great quality telescopic rod, good length and I was surprised how light it is. Easy to extend.

This is an amazing fishing rod! May they never stop manufacturing! Pulled in a large walley with no issues.

Can hold a decent weight like 3 big mackerels in 1 reel.
