Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Telescoping fly rod?

I travel to new places across the country a lot for work. I was sick of sitting in a hotel room down the street from decent looking water, kicking myself for not bringing a rod. So, I went and bought a Redington Wayfarerer (discontinued) 7-piece rod for cheap and now I take it EVERYWHERE with me. It breaks down to ~14" sections, or so, which is small enough to pack into any carry on. Shown here next to a 9' 4-piece rod tube. Highly recommend having something similar for travelling for work.

Will,

Check this one out.

I bought one from this site and It took about two weeks to get here. I bought it for brookies but haven't try yet.

Will,

 

In my 50s now, I haven't seen a telescopic fly rod in well over 30 years.  They were awful.  My first fly rod was a telescopic fly rod I found in my grandfather's garage.  It was terrible.  Wish I still had it mind you, as a curiosity, but it's long gone.

 

I have three 5-piece rods that easily fit inside a backpack.  Though as stated above, I also use the water bottle holder and strap on a backpack for my 4-piece rods.

Hey all,

 

I'm curious if you've found a good telescoping fly rod or if there's a blank (i.e., Tenkara) you would recommend to convert into a fly rod? One of the reasons I don't fish more often is that I don't have a car and it's a pain in the butt to carry a rod tube everywhere. Interested in something more commuter backpack friendly but would also allow me to practice my casts.

 

If there's not a good option, I'd like to take a crack at making one out of something else.

 

-Will
