They have done it again, Poundland :You_Rock_ in Norwich are selling fishing outfits. The rod, reel and a box of bits all a pound each, just right for your hols or in the rucksack and almost at a disposable price. I have just bought one for my travels and I know its not a rolls but a Lada but who cares!!

You'll care when the first fish you catch snaps the rod in half and your line starts to perish after 10 minutes in water
That was a bit harsh! Anyway, I must just preface this by saying Im a kit junky and never really do anything with it but it makes me very happy.
Ive been after a telescopic rod for a long time but not having fished in about twenty years I dont know the manufacturers and dont know how much you should pay for one which will work.
I paid a visit to LIDL the other day (on the scrounge for something else) and they had kits that sound very similar to Damascus but at about £20. They also had telescopic rods at a similar price with a real etc. Im guessing that these would last long so I didnt buy one.
Can anyone suggest a midrange rod that wont break the bank but will work?

I got into sea fishing with Buffalobill a couple of years ago and one lesson we learnt straight away "you buy cheap you buy twice"
You can catch a fish on cheaper equipment no problem but come the 3rd time you use the rod eye's start to fall off, your real will jam and fail.
One of the best rod's i have ever bought is made by FOX and its a spinmaster these are really light and strong (pull your anchor up) with a good real and line this rod will handle most situations and ive had mine for years.
I have caught pike, bass, mackerel, Pollock, squid, etc highly recommended

"you buy cheap you buy twice" - Couldn't agree more.
Thanks for the info, is the Fox spinmaster a telescopic rod?

No its a 2 piece rod, I would never buy a telescopic rod again. I bought 1 it fell apart it went in the bin. (shakespeare rod)
