Can anyone reccomend a decent quality telescopic rod that can be used for pike fishing, preferably around 2.75-3lb TC?

To save anybody wasting their time I am not interested in ET's Sneaker rods or any other multi piece blanks, only telescopic rods.

Have you tried searching on google for Shimano or Shakespear?

No. But I love teles for practicality so let me know if you find a good one - but it must fit in a suitcase!

Thanks chaps.

I've just ordered a couple of these. I'm not sure they'll be of a particularly good quality at that price, or whether they'll be up to the job I have in mind, but we'll see.

Have a look here Category overview: Predator Rods - Askari Sport.
You would have to convert to £s and add on delivery. Could be a good idea to pick a rod then google it to see if any reviews have been done.

This is just incase the rod you have chosen doesn't work out.

A few years ago I bought an ABU 12 ft telescopic carp rod with a test curve of 2.5 lbs. I'm pleased with it because it's much easier to transport in a small car compared with the usual 12 footer with two sections.

I use it mainly for pike fishing although I have had a few carp on it up to 16lbs. It's functional rather than elegant, but it does the job.

If you want I'll find out the model number.
