Default shakespeare Telescopic rod

Anyone got any experience of the Ganza 12 ft Telescopic match rod please.

I have a Diawa Vertice telespin but feel it is too firm an action for
anything but the larger fish like carp and maybe barble but handling a 3 lb
tench made it feel like a lethargic bream so I want to change but still like
the idea of a telescope as I have to use public transport due to an illness.

I want something that will put the feel back into bagging up on things other
than carp.


I can't help with the telescopics - sorry.

An angling chum swears by a selection of travel rods he can pack in his
music case - only one at a time fits alongside the violin but as he's
sneaking off fishing when the rest of the band are doing whatever musicians
do in their off-time he doesn't usually have long and takes just one minimal
outfit depending on the venue - which he looks up on the net in advance.

Some of them, various manufacturers, are very nice rods indeed.

If it's low collapsed length -and- response that you're looking for then
travel rods are probably a better bet than telescopic.

Cheerio,
