KastKing® Ranger Portable Telescopic Fishing Rods – Bass, Trout, Crappie Fishing Travel Spinning Rods and Great for Pike Carp Coarse Sea Game Match Predator Fishing – (5’ 10” option)

This telescopic fishing rod from KastKing is a fantastic piece of fishing gear for anyone who wants a great rod that can be easily stored and transported. It collapses to a length of less than 19 inches and is light-weight and feels well-made and durable.

It handles very well and I added a KastKing Sharky II reel to make a great combination.

It comes with a nylon carry case and an end protector. It opens out and locks quite sturdily to its full length while adjustments to get things in line are pretty easy. The mechanism to connect a reel is the screw type and once tight it holds the reel firmly in place.

I think this is a very reasonable price point for this type of rod and I am very impressed with the quality of the build and the clever way it collapses to make it so portable. I am happy to recommend it to you if you think it may fit your requirements.

I was kindly sent a free or discounted sample of this product by the supplier in return for an honest and unbiased review.

I have the 8ft 10″ version of this travel rod and find it a beauty, very light well made and a nicely crafted piece of work. The line guides are slick and well mounted,. The rod seating is superb, finished in a rosy bronze the aluminium locking rings are solid and run through the thread very precisely. One word of caution when I first opened mine I thought the product was broken, It is not , Kastking have made the penultimate line guide so that it slides up to the end guide in order to make the rod more compact, when the rod is extended for use you have to slide this guide into place, it is a very snug fit and has not rattled lose in use, it is actually quite clever. The overall finish of the rod blanks is stunning in a deep carbon fibre green with the detailing on the logos and printing all very good..Nicely balanced this medium weight rod handled a half ounce plug very easily, it did not suffer from any post casting flex and the medium action meant casting was controlled. Kastking rate the line weight in the 8ft10″ version upto 27lb, using braid with a lower diameter would mean a better casting performance , and I think the rod would offer a sporting fight for larger predator fishing. All this in a telescopic rod means you have no excuse not to pack some tackle wherever you go on holiday.Wrap it up in the cloth bag provided and leave it in the car with a reel and a couple of lures. Instant Fishing! This one is going to Caribbean with me in the Summer.
