Posts: 150 | Are there any rods that will collapse down to 7 feet or eve 6'6? if possible i'd want it so I could store it in my rod locker and that's the longest on the 1725 pro guide. | ||

Posts: 130 Location: Madison, WI | Tackle Industries has 2 piece rods that will collapse to ~4'6". St Croix has 2 piece Premiers that will collapse to sub 7' I believe. Okuma has 8'6" telescopic rods that collapse to 7' | ||

Posts: 212 Location: Wisconsin | I have two of the Okuma's as well. Both are 8'6" and I love them. For the price you cant beat them. There are a couple of new ones for sale on here that are dirt cheap right now. Their customer service is good too. Best part is I can throw my nice setups in the front seat and not have to worry about them. Try one out you will like them. | ||

Posts: 4053 Location: Land of the Musky | Brady080 - 7/1/2014 6:00 PM tackle industries telescoping 9' rod. not sure of exact size it shrinks to but it fits in rod locker. very nice rod The 9' TI telescopic rods collapse to 7'6" so just a little over what he needs. The 2pc 9' breaks down to 2x 4'6" pcs though. James | ||

Posts: 72 Location: Northern Indiana | If you choose to go with an Okuma, I suggest you stay away from the 8'6" XXH. My father and I have broken two of them in past (good warranty and customer service from Okuma though). The 8'6" XH, however, is a great rod and we have not had any issues with the several we use. As others have said, it will breakdown to fit in a 7ft rod locker. | ||

Posts: 212 Location: Wisconsin | I have both the XH and XXH. No problems with either. As previously stated the XH is a really nice rod and reminds me of the LT Long ranger for 1/3rd the price. | ||

Posts: 39 | Another vote for Okuma. I have two of the 8'6" that telescope down to under 7 feet and fit diagonally in the six foot bed of my truck. I believe they are the ones that cast 20z. -8 0z. lures. You could cast lighter lures if necessary. They probably wouldn't' be very good for pounders (which I don't fish.) I love them. | ||

Posts: 149 | The Tackle Industries 9 tele is a great rod. Goes to 76 when down. Fits in most rod lockers in my boat and friends boats. I also have one of the 2pc rods and that is great for travel. 9' 2pc goes to 4.5' for storage. | ||
