Excellent Telescopic Rod. Portable, Light-weight & Durable.,
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.

Super Value For Money, And Well Made Too.,
I’ve tried both the 8’10” and 7’10” versions of the Ranger, and they’re both superb. It amazes me how light and compact it’s now possible to make a full size, full strength rod! Coupled with a lightweight reel such as the Sharky II Spinning Reel that I’ve also reviewed, it makes a fully portable fishing kit that you can easily carry in your rucksack, suitcase or car. These rods would be absolutely ideal for kayaking or dingy sailing trips too, where space is at a premium.
The sections all slide smoothly and lock securely with a taper fit when extended. All the eyes have ceramic inserts too, minimising friction and reducing the chances of line failure. I do like the protective plastic boot that the rod is supplied with – it covers the tip during storage or transport, and keeps those ceramic lined eyes safe from damage. When extending the rod the sections lock together simply by virtue of the the taper fit between the tube sections, and I find this works remarkably well.
The handle is slim compared to most rods, but that’s part of the weight reduction strategy, and I find it perfectly comfortable. There’s a padded neoprene sleeve at the base, and – unlike some competitors – it has a small rubber section further up the handle too. This is a good feature as I find it helps the hands sit at the correct position, and it provides a pivot point when casting.
This rod is a pleasure to use, and has a good flex but retains a nice firm action. The danger of flexible rods is that they can have too much residual spring, which interferes with accurate casting. The Ranger is very nicely damped and won’t bounce around after the initial cast. It’s also very strong, so despite the diminutive size it will cope with some pretty impressive size catches.
I give this rod top marks – quality is excellent, it’s very good value, and it gives you the chance to own a compact and highly transportable fishing kit that you can take on holiday or travel with whilst avoiding any worries about the size or weight of it getting in the way.
A pleasure to own and use, great value for the money being asked, and therefore highly recommended!

Good casting action,
It’s one of the first telescopic rods I’ve owned and I am very happy with it.
