telescopic rods

hi guys

my young bloke is very close to getting his scooter lic and was talking about a rod/reel he can carry on the sooter to go for a fish.

i was thinking a 8ft telescopic would be a good alrounder, river/estury/beach that would fit in his backpack and not stick out 10mile.

so where/what to buy as i have no idea in this style without spending hundreds?

any info or links would be great, ive done the ebay look but they look like shit????

thanks ron

just my opinion, but the few that ive seen are shit. always end up getting stuck and stop collapsing down fully, few grains of sand will probly do it.

I do take my fishing rods on

I do take my fishing rods on the scooter occasionally. You just put the rod in the footwell and it runs up past your shoulder. Once you're holding onto the bars, it can't go anywhere.

No need for a special rod.
