Mine's a Daiwa

Itchy fingers...decided to get a proper rod that can fit entirely into my bag. My last purchase wasn't quite right and I had to have the rod tube sticking out.

Was looking at the all the cheapo rods $15 -$50...and didn't like it as most of the guide quality is really terok. I don't want the guides to damage my braided lines which I use exclusively.

Was at Changi Village, Riverland, and saw this rod. At first ask the shop people for telescopic with SIC guide but it was an impossible specs. The only ones that come with SIC is the surf leader (which I have). And then, my eyes saw this hanging on top of the counter. They said, Oh...that one not SIC guides...but fuji guides. Figuring this is better than nothing, I tested it and found it to my liking. Most Telescopic rods are too thick for me to like, but this one, it is bearable. Surprisingly, the specs is for 15-25lbs. The length is shorter and I can put the entire thing into my bag.

The price was $70+ (I don't want to reveal the actual amount, in case the shops will change it)....after all their magical discount. I tried to bargain but they said their profit margin is very low for Daiwa stuff.

Firguring that I would use this alot, I think it is fair to bite the bullet. After all, over time, the cost of each use is very low.

Can't wait to wet it.

Pardon the messy table
