Met a vendor yesterday and have two coming, I am going to use these while on my raft trips this summer, I will write a review. the tip removes and locks on the handle and can't be broken very easy in transit. src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ZXaO9zK1D-c" This one goes take down.
I have an emrod..... worst investment I ever made. It isn't long enough to cast any considerable distance. The reel that came with sucks (I actually tossed in the river). The only thing it is good for is packing through rough vegetation.... you can't break it. I would much rather have a pocket fishing kit and a telescoping pole IMHO. The pocket fishing kit doesn't take the effort and a telescoping pole will actually allow you to cast with some efficiency and distance.
I'm thinking about getting one so get me a quick report when yu get back. How long do they take to ship?
only took a couple of days, from one of the authorized dealers near me : Mike Bishop@ Compact Fishing Pole - Welcome Is who I am dealing with.
How's the weight on them? I have a nice graphite rod I bought a couple years ago but my favorite is my bamboo that was my dads
