Telescoping Fishing Poles, Rods And Reels

Imagine the luxury of kicking back after a long day at the office and fishing. But the hassle of getting bait and dragging that gangly, clumsy fishing pole out of the closet is too much work for most people. That's why telescoping fishing poles, also known as telescopic fishing piles, have become so popular. No more fussing with the awkward fishing rods of the past. Instead, one can simply pick up the bait, compact fishing pole, and be on their way.

Telescoping fishing rods are a type of collapsible fishing pole. Their namesake refers to the fact that the sections collapse by falling into each other. That is, the tip of these fishing rods collapses into the base. This makes the telescoping fishing poles one of the most rational purchases of fishing equipment since nightcrawlers.

As a result of their popularity telescoping fishing poles can be found pretty much anywhere these days, both online and offline. This is because it's the perfect fishing pole for travel, business trips, and beginning anglers. Their reasonable price also figures into their popularity. For instance, those who are just beginning to really get into fishing don't want to spend a fortune on a hobby they may or may not stick with. It's similar to buying a gym membership for a year and only going once or twice. It's a waste of money for novice anglers to buy fancy fishing equipment.

Telescopic fishing poles generally come in two different types: fully assembled with fishing reels included and just poles. The fully assembled telescoping fishing poles look like a regular fishing pole, with the only difference being the ability to collapse. When they are collapsed these telescoping fishing poles can be as small as 6-10 inches. When they are fully extended they can be as long as 7 feet. These are the most common kind of telescoping fishing poles.

The other type of telescoping fishing poles are less common and geared towards people who only fish every once in a great while, like once every 6 months. These telescoping fishing poles simply feature a pole and a rubber cap. To use this fishing pole, anglers are only required to pull off the rubber cap and cast off into the water. The line extends 45” and when there's a tug an angler pulls the line by just using his or her bare hands. It's a much more archaic way of fishing and is strictly meant for entertainment purposes. These poles come in varying lengths, from 10 feet to 20 feet.

Both of these telescoping fishing poles and other necessary fishing equipment such as bait can be purchased online at sites like Campingsurvival.com and OgeecheeOutdoors.com, and offline at stores like the Bass Pro Shop and Target. They range in price from $10-$20.

In the end, telescoping fishing poles are a great purchase for the recreational angler, and it's a great excuse to get out of the house and into nature. With telescoping fishing poles, anglers can relax and enjoy the beautiful sounds of the lake while waiting for a bite.
