PLUSINNO Telescopic Fishing Rod and Reel Combo

I fish the PLUSINNO Telescopic Rod and Reel Combo and it does exactly what I need it to do. At around thirty dollars it is not going to feel like a high-end setup, but that is not the point. The point is that it catches fish, and it does. The telescopic design is the main reason I use it — it collapses down small enough that I am not wrestling rods around in the truck or getting hung up in trees on the hike to the lake. When I get to the water it extends and locks in place and I am fishing. I use the 5.91 ft size and it handles all my standard still water trout rigs without any issues. If you are getting started with still water trout fishing or just want a reliable grab-and-go setup that does not hurt when it gets a scratch, this is the combo I would point you to. Over 4,300 Amazon reviews and Amazon's Choice backs it up.
