Review: compact size - very good build quality...very compact size, light weight ....this is my 4th rod. its smaller than my KastKing Blackhawk II Telescopic Fishing Rod.. Review: In years past, telescoping fishing rods used to be so whippy they could only be considered a slow-to-ultra-slow action. So I was surprised when a recent Outdoor Life (or Field & Stream - I can't remember which) article reviewing travel rods recommended a telescoping rod and stated it had decent enough action to be usable for more than just an occasional rod while traveling. The article didn't review this EOW rod and didn't actually provide an desertcart link to the correct product, but in reviewing a selection of travel rods here on desertcart, I found the natural cork and neutral brown rod much more appealing than the garrulous colored Chinese brands with artificial sponge handles. Plus it had decent enough reviews and an appealing enough price to be worth a shot. So I bought the 7'6" version prior to a recent vacation to use surf fishing in Southeast Asia. The package with the extra equipment seemed like a good deal for not much more money, but it only came in the shorter rod lengths and I valued the extra length of the 7'6" rod more than the accessories. To my surprise, the 7'6" rod came in a nice box with a spool of 20lb braided line. I haven't used it yet, since I normally prefer Sufix 832 braided line, which I used with this rod, but it seems of reasonable quality for a four-strand braided line. The rod was of very good quality with no noticeable functional or cosmetic defects. It came with a plastic tip cover that covered all the tops of the sections including the line guides, plus a nylon fabric bag that, unfortunately, does not provide the security of an actual case. With the tip cover in its bag, it has a retracted travel length of 17.25" and fit easily in a 19" hard-sided carryon suitcase (the more compact size that meets smaller airlines' carryon requirements). To give more protection to the rod while it was in my suitcase, I bought a pack of flexible cutting board sheets, rolled one up, and slipped in in the nylon bag to provide some rigidity and security during transit. All telescopic rods tend to be a bit thicker in the first section above the handle than a typical rod of its weight, to accommodate all of the subsequent sections that slide into the first one and this one starts off looking like a medium-heavy or even heavy powered rod for the lower 30 inches or so. It extends easily enough, thinning out toward the tip and stayed securely extended, never collapsing under use. I would characterize the power of this rod as a medium to medium-heavy powered rod. While I did not have a bite the one time I have thus far used it, I suspect it could readily handle a 12lb, maybe a 20lb fish.. Surprisingly, it had more rigidity than I expected from a telescoping rod and I would say that the rod is a fast action, bending mostly at the top 1/3 rather than throughout its length. I mounted a Daiwa Regal in 3000-size on the rod and it was a good fit size-wise for this rod. If you have a spare 2000 through 4000-size reel around, it should work fine with this rod, but if you are buying a new reel specifically to use on this rod, I would go with a 3000-sized reel. I spooled my Daiwa with 15lb Sufix 832 ocean camo braid and that seemed to work well with this rod. Aside from the extra effort of extending the individual sections and aligning the line guides, it functioned every bit the same as a typical one or two-piece spinning rod. I got good casting distance and when I snagged a spoon on a rock, the rod was plenty strong to resolve the situation with the line breaking. I had no trouble casting lures in the 1/4 to 5/8 oz. weight range, including Heddon Spook Juniors, and would be comfortable casting lures up to 1.0 oz. I don't typically use live bait, so I'm not sure how well this rod would do with heavier lead weights one would usually use with a live bait setup. It's not a 10' surf rod you would use to propel a 2-3 oz. weight out to maximum distances, though. Last year I bought an Uglystik four-piece 6'6" travel spinning rod that seemed like it would be a good all-around rod for traveling, albeit it bit short for maximizing casting distance, especially for surf fishing. However, the tip end piece of the rod simply would not stay attached to the other sections and continuously flew off the rod, ending up 30-40 feet out in the water. I discovered that many other people had the exact same problem with this rod so it was an obvious product defect, not just an isolated issue with an unexpected occasional lemon. I contacted Shakespeare/Uglystik customer service not once or twice, but three times and asked them to provide a solution under warranty to this defect that rendered the rod unusable. Uglystik categorically refused to respond. This EOW rod is of higher quality than the Uglystik and cost less, so I would recommend it very highly. I recognize that a single three-hour use of this rod is a less-than-desirable product test length. Unlike most people who post a review somewhat (or often completely) prematurely under the pretext of coming back to update the review if their experience with the product changes, I've been writing detailed product reviews on desertcart for more than 15 years and I actually do update my reviews as warranted. I can heartily recommend this travel rod as far as I have used it, but if under further use I encounter problems, I actually will come back and update the review accordingly. EDIT 12/31/24. I fished for several hours this morning in the Gulf in Florida and found that the rod had a plus and a minus. First, I found the rod just did not cast as well as I had hoped with lighter lures. I got pretty good distance with a half ounce Mirrolure lipless jerkbait, but it was less than typical casting distance with a 7 foot two-piece, medium-heavy rod throwing a 5/8 ounce Heddon Spook, shorter by at least 20 to 30 feet. Light lures such as a 1/4 ounce. Yo Zuri jerk bait really did not cast very well at all. To get decent distance I would recommend a minimum of half an ounce lure. However, I did catch a 20 inch snook and the rod had no trouble handling a tough fighting fish. I think the rod could easily handle up to about a 15-20 pound freshwater fish and a somewhat smaller ocean fish, which fight harder. I still recommend the rod. ## Features - SUPERIOR QUALITY: EOW XPEDITE telescopic spinning rods are made from 24T carbon and epoxy for sensitivity, durability, and high performance.

It has a strong and nice box, the PE line and soft worms are good quality. I paired my SHIMANO 1000 on it, works well! The soft bag is amazing, it could protect the rod and guides well, and I could leave the reel and hook on the fishing rod. This travel fishing rod is so strong with nice power and works well for trout and bass fishing! The collapsed length is short, so I could leave it on my car. I like this fishing rod set without reel! ## Frequently Bought Together - EOW XPEDITE Portable Telescopic Fishing Rods, Spinning & Casting, 24T Carbon Blanks & Solid Carbon Tip, Cork Handle, Travel Rod, Short Collapsible Rods - EOW XPEDITE PRO Portable Telescopic Casting and Spinning Fishing Rods, 24T Carbon Blanks & Solid Carbon Tip, Cork Handle, Travel Rod, Short Collapsible Rods - Reaction Tackle Braided Fishing Line - Pro Grade Power Performance for Saltwater or Freshwater Fish - Colored Fishing Line Braid for Extra Visibility --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/394887815-ex-fishing-rod](https://www.desertcart.is/products/394887815-ex-fishing-rod) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
