Recently I saw a collapsible fishing rod, it looks good. But I have never used a collapsible rod before. How was that?

Good in the shop or good with a good fish on?
And good .. not the reliability, but how well it loads up with a nice fish...

Son got one given to him yrs ago.. used once snapped up near the end. Excellent for lifting the wetsuit on the hanger up on the high hook to dry in the the shed....

Is there any other type?

Ive got one its awesome, thirty years old and still works fine.

Um wait a minute....  now that I think of it, I'm not sure I ever actually used it for fishing....

You can buy a sweet Daiwa four piece travel rod, called a stillwater or summing...  That I have used.
I always tell the truth about things that never happened
